Another photo from my fishing trip this weekend. I love the contrast between the white snow covered mountains peaks and the autumn-colored forest you can see in this picture. The calm ocean and the somewhat dramatic clouds are also nice.

The weather was extremely nice that day, unlike today with strong winds and heavy rain showers!

Photo from a day out fishing on the sea in northern Norway

What a wonderful day it was to be out on the sea here in northern Norway. The sea was completely calm and the clouds was amazing so a perfect day for a fishing trip. In this photo you can see my uncle steering my boat to the fishing grounds. Did not catch much fish, but it was a very nice trip on the fjord.

Is it just me or are the clouds and the reflection in the calm sea just down right beautiful?

Close up photo of aspen leaves with autumn colors

In this photo you can see sunbeams coming up from a mountain. It is the only time I have seen sunbeams shine the “wrong” way and I was wondering what was hiding behind those mountains.
As you can see by all the snow in the mountain, this picture was taken back in January (actually 3 days after I got my sweet camera) and at this time of the year we have no sun up here in northern Norway.

The days are not totally dark (referred to as Polar night) as we have twilight in the middle of the day, but the sun is gone for several months.
When the sun comes back in the end of January we use to celebrate and think about warmer times that includes midnight sun.

Do you think you could live in a place where there is no sunshine for several months?

For other pictures of the same mountain check this one and this one.

Photo from a winter day at the Norwegian coast filled with sun and snow
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera March 9th 2007. Click image for larger view.

I took this photo back in March when the landscape was filled with snow and everything was quiet. The sun was about to set and you can see the very special light that occur when the days are so short.

In northern Norway we don’t often experience such nice weather in March. Earlier that day I took advantage of the good weather and went out fishing. You can see a photo from the fishing trip here.

Photo of coastal landscape in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera September 16th 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this photo you can see typical coast landscape in northern Norway with the seawall and mountains sticking up from the ocean.
I love the way the sunbeams come out of the clouds and make the special light against the mountains. There is even some small patches of last years snow in the mountains.

Hope everyone looks at this photo in its larger size 🙂
