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.

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 sunset from a few days ago made the snow in the mountains glow in shades of red. Had to take a picture of this phenomenon when a star appeared, in the evening, over the mountain peaks.

I’m off to visit the beautiful island Senja this weekend. Hope I can show you all some nice pictures from that place next week 🙂

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 🙂
