I was out fishing the other summer night when the sky turned mind blowing.
The photo was photographed on the ocean outside Laupstad, Andørja and the mountains in the horizon is the island Senja (the second largest island in Norway).

The vacation house for rent is located in a wonderful scenery on Andørja (Ibestad) in Northern Norway with the ocean on one side and steep mountains on the other side. The nature provides lots of possibilities like fishing in the fjord and hiking in the mountains.
The house can be rented over at airbnb or you can contact me via email thomaslaupstad@gmail.com.
Here you can see the house from the mountain range above the house at Laupstad, Andørja:

The house has no close neighbours, and has a great location right by the ocean/fjord.
The house is the closest one. The mountain range behind is great for trekking. Picture taken from a fishing spot close to house.
View from the balcony at 11PM when it is almost midnight sun.

For the first time I have gone out fishing on the sea during the polar night period in Northern Norway. And what an experience that is. Even though we got no sunlight the light can be absolutely beautiful with different colors everywhere as you can see in these photos.
Above you can see how the sky looks in the middle of the day, and below you can see when the sky starts to get darker.
The mountain in the picture is called Drangen and is located on the island Rolla. It is a very picturesque mountain.

But the main reason I went out on the sea was to fish. I was able to catch some nice Christmas cod and even had an Atlantic halibut circling a small cod on my hook. The halibut circled for about 10 rounds before snatching the cod off my hook and then it went back into the cold, dark deep. It was a pity I was not able to catch it, but what an amazing experience!

I had the pleasure of visiting my home place during the darkest days of this winter. Since we had clear weather it was not really dark at all in the middle of the day. Quite the opposite as the sky was filled with wonderful colors from a sun in the distant horizon.
I photographed the picture above a bit later than noon and the day was actually even lighter earlier in the day. The colors of the sky varied throughout the day and it was amazing to see, especially since I now live in the middle of Oslo where there is not so much landscapes to be seen.
The mountain you can see in this photo is called Drangen and I have photographed this magnificent piece of rock several times like here and here.

The autumn is getting closer and closer. Today when I woke up there was snow in on top of the highest mountains here in Northern Norway. The mountain in this picture is called Ã…tinden and it is 1108 meters above sea level. This summer has been pretty cold so it is no surprise that we already are seeing signs of the winter to come. But this snow fall will not last and probably melt away later in the day.
Please see my other mountain pictures here.
