The dark season is definitely here with very little light during the day. The weather has been mostly boring with overcast almost every day, but on this day the sky was clear. There was some nice blue tones to be seen such as in this picture.
If you look at the photo in large format you can see the wind blowing snow off the mountain peaks. Must be extremely cold on top of those mountains (they are located on an island called Grytøya) 😉

You can see the same mountains here, but in an early spring scene.

I captured this picture, of the “sunrise”, at 10:30 AM. I guess it’s technically not a sunrise because we have polar night right now so the sun never rises above the horizon. Nice to see some signs of the sun during the dark season 🙂

Exposure: 0.067 sec (1/15)

Picture of flying raven against a snowy winter mountain in Northern Norway

Picture of flying raven against a snowy winter mountain in Northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera February 24th 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this photo I was lucky enough to catch the raven when it was divided between the blue sky and the snowy mountain. The raven was flying very fast so it was only luck on my side 🙂
Currently the sun have disappeared here in Northern Norway so I’m impatiently awaiting it’s return so I can take more pictures like this. Going on photo trips when everything is grey and sleet comes down from the sky is not fun.

Check out my other raven photos of a raven sitting on a boatshed roof and a raven flying into “gods eye”.

Picture of Fata Morgana phenomenon on the coast in Northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera November 8th 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this picture you can see the optical phenomenon called Fata Morgana, on the coast in Northern Norway. Please click the image to get a larger view of the phenomenon. Notice how the coast (especially the small island on the left) is “miraged”. The phenomenon is a result of differences in temperature.
You can read more about Fata Morgana in this article on Wikipedia.

Check out this picture from last winter where the Fata Morgana phenomenon also appears.
