I took this photo very early in the morning (6 AM) when I saw the beautiful moon lightning up the landscape. As this picture was taken in the middle of the winter, moonlight is the closest we get to see the sun in Northern Norway.
Today is the first of November. That means I have about 17 days left with sunlight before the sun disappears..

I used a cheap compact camera in this shot so that is why the quality is a bit crappy, but I think it’s still a beautiful scene if you don’t pixel peep.

Have you checked out the Photos from Northern Norway 2008 calendar? I have been getting some very good reviews of it 🙂

Photo of mountain being illuminated – Blizzard in northern Norway

This photo is from a day filled with strong winds and heavy snow, but there can be nice moments even in a blizzard. I took this photo when there suddenly was an opening in the clouds and the sun shined on the mountain (it’s a mountain on Senja, Norway).
I think this scenery almost looks like it’s taken out of an old painting. Nature is the greatest artist there is, in my humble opinion 🙂

The winter has come to northern Norway as you can see by the snow covered mountains in this picture. The snow comes from the north in “waves” and I was able to do some photographing in between all the snow.
I love photos of moving water so had a great time standing at the shore trying to capture the waves as they came crashing in.
Loved the splash in this picture.

In this photo you can see the harbor where my boat is placed. I was walking home from a fishing trip when I noticed the nice reflection the sunset made inside of the seawall. Love the view you get from using a wide angle lens.

Check out this winter photo from the harbor and here is a picture of waves crashing over the seawall.

Not sure what I was thinking when I look at the EXIF data of the photo.

Loved the yellow clouds and ocean in this sunset picture.
The boat is preparing fish so that is why there are a lot of seagulls around the boat.
