Yesterday we had a beautiful and cold dusk here in Northern Norway. Had to take out the good old camera to capture some pictures of the sunset so I could share it with you all 🙂 I liked how the thin birch tree created a bit of a frame for the scenery.
The mountains in the horizon is a part of an island called Grytøya. The same island can be seen in this picture of the first days of winter last year.

We had another day with strong winds from the northwest, but today I dared taking my camera outside for a few photos of the great waves.
In this picture you can see some seagulls sailing on the strong winds. It looked like the seagulls were enjoying themselves and had no problems with the extreme conditions. I’m guessing they were hanging around looking for snacks that the ocean was throwing ashore.
After a big storm like this it’s fun to go for strolls along the coastline to see if the waves have washed up anything cool. Might go for one of those strolls tomorrow and of course I will bring the camera 🙂

If you want to have a closer look of our seagulls have a look at this picture.

Picture of first sunlight shining on snow cowered mountain peak in Northern Norway

In this picture you can see the first sunlight here in Northern Norway this year, shining on a 1000 meter tall mountain peak. I loved the way the fresh snow on the top made the mountain peak look like it was made of white bricks.
If you click on the picture and look at it in large format you can see some enormous icicles hanging from the side of the mountain.

Check out this picture to see the mountain peak in full size.

I was taking a walk on the beach when suddenly the sun created some nice light behind the mountains. There was also some reflections in the windy ocean so I had to get down on my knees to take a picture.
The foam and rocks in the foreground makes the composition more interesting to me.

Loved the beautiful light this evening. The harbor is surrounded by a seawall that makes the sea calm and perfect for reflecting nice sunsets. I thank my forefathers (they made the seawall in 1916) for creating good picture opportunities 🙂

Check out this photo of the harbor covered in snow and with more light available.
