This sight was very fascinating! It looked like a river coming down from the enormous cloud formations. Probably created by down-streams of air?
The nature sure is beautiful!

I’m a big fan of the old boatsheds! They have such great texture and colors and tell stories about old times.
Notice the planks in the foreground that are used to get fishing boats out on the ocean without much hassle.

In the back you can see some beautiful mountains called Stakken and Snøtinden.

Here is a picture of phenomenon that I have not seen often. The moon was a thin crescent and Earth reflected light on the moon. It’s called planetshine and Earthshine when the earth lights the moon.
You can also see Venus below the Moon.

In this photo I used an exposure time of 15 seconds to try get the “foggy” effect you can see on the ocean. Very fun way of photographing although very time consuming and cold when you have temperatures of -4C. 😉
