Floating symphony

Image captured in Kildalen which lies in Nordreisa, Troms, Northern Norway. The midnight sun does not shine directly in here, but when the sky glows up like this, it matters not. When approaching autumn this river almost dries up , but during snow melting it really comes to life and it is a lot of fun photographing.

Tributary

Stunning scenery of the fjords of Skjervøy in Troms, Northern Norway. For anyone fond of mountains, this area has tons of it to offer, not to mention all the rivers, glaciers and fjords. I found a nice composition further down the river, as I tend to not do so well standing on a edge with a good chance of falling I elected to go for a different shot.

Magic of May

Rain, fog, sunlight and ice breaking up, just a fantastic night that will be remembered for many years. Image captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.

Before the rain

A beautiful location way above the treeline, even though I was aiming to get to the waterfall that is right above this one I had to stop and shoot here with various colored moss on the rocks. Image captured in Skjervøy, Troms, Northern Norway.

Water conference

During a year this place gets passed by thousands of times, it might just be unassuming if the conditions are not right and it took many attempts before it was where I wanted it to be. Image captured in Sørkjosen, Northern Norway.

Navit falls

After a long days work my brothern and I headed to this river to relax and snap a few images, with a ready fireplace just a few meters away from this river it was the perfect place to chill out. You always have to judge an image based on what you want to include and exclude and due to powerlines going just outside the left of the image I had to push the composition a bit more to the right. Was standing on some real slippery rocks as welll so it provided quite a few interesting moments when shooting this. Image captured in Kvænangsbotn, Troms, Northern Norway.

Contention

Winter tend to be quite long lasting in Northern Norway, even in May there is snow and ice, sometimes even in June. A really cold breeze coming from the valley behind here made having a fire a necessity and having a warm cup of coffee when out shooting just makes the day. Image captured in Steinsvik, Troms, Northern Norway.

Passage

A beautiful river, rarely noticed, but a really beautiful place to photograph. The monotonous sound of the river made me more and more tired, but all the interesting images I could capture here got me awake again. Funny how those experiences in nature can be, always interesting and photography always gets me to appreciate nature even more.

X marks the spot

I so badly wanted to go out on the ice as I saw a beautiful composition, but with the thin ice the risk was too high. Lucky in a way, because by searching some more I found an even better composition. Image captured in Oksfjord, Northern Norway.

Painters rise

A friend of mine and I arrived here 4 hours before sunrise to watch the whole transition which turned out to be one of the most magnificent sunrises I have seen. The clouds looked like they had been painted on and the purple that was prior had turned into a warm pink tone, it is certainly a morning that will be remembered for a very long time. Image captured on Kvænangsfjellet, Troms, Northern Norway.

Fervor

A night spent in vain trying to take pictures of the Northern Lights turned extremely positive as morning came, the colors in the sky came on so fast it almost looked like it got painted on as I was standing there. I went for a slightly more abstract composition in this image, if you take in the scene as a whole, you might also see it as a whale swimming through the clouds. Image captured in Kildalen, Nordreisa, Northern Norway.

Slumber in Senja

A beautiful morning photographing at this lake. There was several campers sleeping on the side of the lake so my brother and I had to be really quiet when taking pictures here, but it kinda fit the mood of the moment as well. Image captured in Grunnvåg, Senja, Northern Norway.

Grace

A cloud slowly revealing the light from the midnight sun. This felt like it should have been a scene from a movie. Image captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.

Hush

A cold night and a warm morning produced a beautiful foggy scene, closing in on autumn the temperature changes from night to day often tends to provide foggy conditions, which simplify any image, most of the time for the better. Captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.

The sign

A stunning sunset behind the beautiful Kågtind mountains of Skjervøy. Image captured in Steinsvik, Troms, Northern Norway.

Dream

Captured at Ternvannet, Lofoten, Northern Norway. This lake lies in a valley and even though it was a bit of wind when driving here, it was absolutely quiet at the lake. Under the right conditions any place can be beautiful, but this place was just mindblowing, so still and quiet in the middle of the night and just breathtaking to look at. Due to the strong contrast between the sky and the mountain I had to combine several captures at different brightness level to get an image that was closer to what was seen.

Sense the morning

2 degrees celsius in July is something you never expect, quite cold but really a great experience with the morning mist and sun rising. Image captured in Oksfjord, Northern Norway.

Little islands

Depending on how hot the summer and how fast the water level goes down you just have to be ready to shoot this at any moment, luckily this time it was late enough in the summer to get some colors in the sky. Image captured on Sørkjosen Mountain, Troms, Northern Norway.

Fade

Rivers really is some of the most interesting to photograph, you can walk 100 meters up or down and find a completely different image. Luckily this time the water was just right, enough to hit and change direction on the rock and not too much so it would go over it. Captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.
