Black and white photo of snow crystals in Northern Norway

The temperature dropped for a few days here in Northern Norway and ice crystals like the ones you can see in the picture were forming in sheltered areas.
I made a black and white version of the picture because I think it fits very well in snow and ice scenes.

Check out this black and white picture of snow textures made by the wind.

8 days till the sun comes back in Northern Norway - Polar night sunset picture
The sun will reappear in 8 days, here in Northern Norway, and it will be first sighted between those small mountain peaks on the left in the picture. Can’t wait for it to happen 🙂
But the light can be very magical during the dark season too. Just like in this photo where suddenly the sky turned red.

The same mountain can be seen in this picture.

I like the way I was able to capture the falling snow in this picture. The lonely tree and the greenish ocean in the background make the scenery look very desolate and cold.

Picture of icicles hanging from a common juniper branch
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 8th 2008. Click image for larger view.
I was walking in the forest when I stumbled across some icicles hanging from a common juniper (Juniperus communis) branch. Might not be the most exciting thing to photograph, but I really enjoy the small details in nature, that make you stop in your tracks to make a closer look.

It was pretty hard to focus because there is so little light at the moment, hence the long exposure.

Picture of lichen covered rocks at high tide – 20 seconds long exposure

Picture of lichen covered rocks at high tide
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera December 25th 2007. Click image for larger view.

I photographed these lichen covered rocks when the tide was very high. Usually the sea doesn’t reach this high, but the lichen must be somewhat resistant to the saltwater to survive the waves.
I really love the texture and formations the lichen create on rocks.
For new readers: The foggy effect was created by using a 20 seconds long exposure of the moving water.

Check out this macro photo of a water drop with lichen as a background.
