This sunset was incredible red and I just had to take a photo of the moment the sun disappeared in the ocean. It is at times like this I enjoy living in northern Norway.

A bit earlier that day I photographed this picture. Turned out to be my most popular photo on this blog so far 🙂

Row of Norwegian boathouses on a winter day

I really liked the rural look on this row of boathouses. The grass roof doesn’t hurt the scene with it’s old look. Boathouses like this represent the old fishing culture here in Norway in a good way. I hope people will take care of these beautiful buildings!

This is also my most popular photo on Flickr. It has received almost 11,000 views and been made favorite 70 times. It reached the fourth position in Flickr Explore on the day the picture was uploaded.
Flickr Explore is an algorithm that chooses the 500 most popular pictures (out of millions!) being uploaded to Flickr each day so it is quite an honor to reach the fourth position.

In this picture I have used something called HDR (High dynamic range) to make the picture look a bit different.

Check out my other boatshed pictures here.

This photo of an old Norwegian fishing boat was taken on the first day I owned my fine Olympus E-500 camera. I have learned a lot about photography since then, but I still like this photo. I don’t think it’s too bad for a first try?

The same fishing boat and mountain can be seen in this photo, but in a warmer setting 🙂

These red sunsets are so beautiful and I had to, once again, photograph the pretty scene. This picture was taken at 9:30 PM in the evening so the days are getting shorter and shorter here in northern Norway.

Take a look at this photo that I took back in May. That was the most amazing red sunset I have ever seen!

Photo of an old fishing boat being lightened by a red sunset against a magnificent mountain

Photo of an old boat being lightened by a red sunset against a magnificent mountain
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on August 8th 2007. Click image for larger view.

I found this old fishing boat when I was out photo walking on the beach. The sunsets are coming earlier now and this picture was taken at 9 PM. If you look closer at the old boat you can the red sunset light reflect on the white painting.

I used the word magnificent in the title to describe the mountain because that was the word that popped up in my head a couple of days ago when I was looking at the mountains. I see these mountains every day so it’s easy to forgot how magnificent they really are. Wish you all could see them in real life since a simple photo doesn’t do them justice.
Take a closer look at the upper right mountain. Can you see the snow spots?
That mountain is called “The Snow Peak”. Very describing name considering that there is still snow on the mountain this late in the summer.
