I was out rowing, for the first time this year, when I saw this herring gull (Larus argentatus) standing on a seawall. Had to take a picture of the seagull with the snow covered forest as background.
Let me tell you that it is not particularly easy to take photos from a small and rocky rowboat. Especially when you are trying to zoom in on a bird.

Here is another picture of the seawall.

Loved the beautiful light this evening. The harbor is surrounded by a seawall that makes the sea calm and perfect for reflecting nice sunsets. I thank my forefathers (they made the seawall in 1916) for creating good picture opportunities 🙂

Check out this photo of the harbor covered in snow and with more light available.

I love massive cloud formations and today there were some really nice ones here in Northern Norway. It was snowing a little when I took this picture so it was nice to see the sun shine brightly on the clouds.

Check out this photo of cloud formations and midnight sun.

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.

Photo of coastal landscape in northern Norway

In this photo you can see typical coast landscape in northern Norway with the seawall and mountains sticking up from the ocean.
I love the way the sunbeams come out of the clouds and make the special light against the mountains. There is even some small patches of last years snow in the mountains.

Hope everyone looks at this photo in its larger size 🙂
