I took this picture of the beautiful sunset back in July when the weather was warmer here in northern Norway. Been very chilly here lately so I wanted to see a reminder of warmer times 🙂
Notice the tern that is about to land on the rowboat. It was a bit stressing to capture the tern exactly when it was landing.

Here is a sunset photo from the same evening.

Another photo from my fishing trip this weekend. I love the contrast between the white snow covered mountains peaks and the autumn-colored forest you can see in this picture. The calm ocean and the somewhat dramatic clouds are also nice.

The weather was extremely nice that day, unlike today with strong winds and heavy rain showers!

Photo from a winter day at the Norwegian coast filled with sun and snow

I took this photo back in March when the landscape was filled with snow and everything was quiet. The sun was about to set and you can see the very special light that occur when the days are so short.

In northern Norway we don’t often experience such nice weather in March. Earlier that day I took advantage of the good weather and went out fishing. You can see a photo from the fishing trip here.

Photo of old seawall rocks with blue sky as background – still some summer in northern Norway

Picture of incoming bad weather with sleet

As you can see in this photo, summer has not completely left northern Norway.

These rocks are part of an old seawall that protects our boats against the wild storms that can hit northern Norway in the autumn and winter.
You can see the seawall with waves beating against (and over) it in this photo and in this photo with more calm weather.

Picture of incoming bad weather with sleet – autumn have definitively come to Norway

Seems like the autumn is here to stay.
In this photo you can see some bad weather coming in from the sea. Those “streaks” you see in the horizon, on the photo, is sleet that arrived at my home a few hours later. I’m not a big fan of sleet, but I think it made a cool picture.
