The dark season is definitely here with very little light during the day. The weather has been mostly boring with overcast almost every day, but on this day the sky was clear. There was some nice blue tones to be seen such as in this picture.
If you look at the photo in large format you can see the wind blowing snow off the mountain peaks. Must be extremely cold on top of those mountains (they are located on an island called Grytøya) 😉

You can see the same mountains here, but in an early spring scene.

Photo of stone and seaweed in the ocean using 20 seconds long exposure

As I’ve said before I love long exposure photos. In this picture I have captured a rock on the shore and some seaweed below the surface.
I used a 20 second long shutter speed to create the dreamy and foggy effect. It almost looks like a mountaintop peaking through some mist.

Check out my other long exposure photos here.

Picture of Fata Morgana phenomenon on the coast in Northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera November 8th 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this picture you can see the optical phenomenon called Fata Morgana, on the coast in Northern Norway. Please click the image to get a larger view of the phenomenon. Notice how the coast (especially the small island on the left) is “miraged”. The phenomenon is a result of differences in temperature.
You can read more about Fata Morgana in this article on Wikipedia.

Check out this picture from last winter where the Fata Morgana phenomenon also appears.

The days are definitely getting shorter here in Northern Norway! I took this picture 4 PM in the “evening”.
I really love this scene with the combination of mountain and sea (and of course the boatsheds).

A similar scene, in a spring setting, can be seen in this photo.
