In this photo you can see sunbeams coming up from a mountain. It is the only time I have seen sunbeams shine the “wrong” way and I was wondering what was hiding behind those mountains.
As you can see by all the snow in the mountain, this picture was taken back in January (actually 3 days after I got my sweet camera) and at this time of the year we have no sun up here in northern Norway.

The days are not totally dark (referred to as Polar night) as we have twilight in the middle of the day, but the sun is gone for several months.
When the sun comes back in the end of January we use to celebrate and think about warmer times that includes midnight sun.

Do you think you could live in a place where there is no sunshine for several months?

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.

Picture of golden reflections in water and a snowy stone

Another picture I took back in February. At this time of the year the sun is only shining for a hour or two and in this photo the sun has disappeared below the horizon. The golden reflections are coming from sunshine higher up in the snow filled mountains. It was a very beautiful sight.

Look closely at the picture. Doesn’t the stone look like a crocodile head?

Photo of winter trees - Norway Spruce covered with snow
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on February 10th, 2007. Click picture for larger view.

Took this picture back in February when the forest was filled with snow. I think the scene looks like it is taken straight out of “The Chronicles of Narnia” with all the snow hanging on the Norway Spruce.

This place can be quite spooky in the summer as the trees make a very dark passage in the forest.

Black and white photo of snow textures

Black and white photography is not a thing I have done much of, but I think it suited very well with these wonderful snow textures. The wind is a talented artist!

You might notice that the photo was taken back in February. Have been a bit busy and it have been raining all the time so few photos lately. Hope it will change soon 🙂
