Kjerkfjord as seen from near Reine, Lofoten islands, Norway.
This is the light at around 1:30 pm on the afternoon of January 6, the first day since mid December where the sun once again appears on the horizon at 68˚ north. Got lucky to have calm winds and mostly clear skies on this day. Imagine more or less the same light like this lasting for hours. Magical.
Justadtind, The prominent mountain toward the left of both photos.
Not long after I took this photo of the Kjerkefjord 3 days of storm enveloped the islands. Deceptively peaceful looking here.
This photo is the view from Stamsund across the Vestfjord (Vestfjorden). The mountain on the far left of the photo is at the village of Henningsvær, still part of Lofoten. The mountains in the distance are of the Norwegain mainland, some 40-60km away across the waters of the Vestfjord. Typical sunrise with a break in the clouds near the horizon, letting a few minutes of sun through, before turning into a (mostly) gray and overcast day.
Nikon 85mm tilt-shift lens: 3 photos stitched.
