I was visiting the island Senja this weekend, but the weather was really bad with blizzards hitting us all the time. In between the snowfalls I was able to go outside and have a look (and take a few pictures) at the ocean in turmoil. In this picture you can see the west coast of Senja where the island meets the Norwegian Sea and next piece of land is Greenland. The waves can be massive if the wind come from the right (wrong?) direction.
The mountain on the left is called “Teisten”.

Check out some of my other pictures of waves here and here.

The sun has finally come back here in Northern Norway, but because of clouds I have yet to actually see it. Later in the afternoon I got to see this spectacular winter sunset and because of the warm, still weather it felt like spring time. Had to take some pictures to share the sunset with you 🙂

8 days till the sun comes back in Northern Norway - Polar night sunset picture
The sun will reappear in 8 days, here in Northern Norway, and it will be first sighted between those small mountain peaks on the left in the picture. Can’t wait for it to happen 🙂
But the light can be very magical during the dark season too. Just like in this photo where suddenly the sky turned red.

The same mountain can be seen in this picture.

Picture of lichen covered rocks at high tide – 20 seconds long exposure

Picture of lichen covered rocks at high tide
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera December 25th 2007. Click image for larger view.

I photographed these lichen covered rocks when the tide was very high. Usually the sea doesn’t reach this high, but the lichen must be somewhat resistant to the saltwater to survive the waves.
I really love the texture and formations the lichen create on rocks.
For new readers: The foggy effect was created by using a 20 seconds long exposure of the moving water.

Check out this macro photo of a water drop with lichen as a background.

The polar days (I guess the correct term would be polar night day?) are pretty dark here in Northern Norway, but there are some nice sights to be seen. The sun made some nice colors at midday so I had to take my dear camera out in the cold weather.

The same mountains, in an autumn setting, can be seen in this picture.
