When I walked up this mountain, it had been quite some time since last time I had gone for such a trek, and my shape was thereafter. Finally getting up here, the sunset was quite nice, but it never got to the point where I was completely happy about it, so I decided to wait for sunrise. For 5 hours I was listening to music on my mobile phone, picking all the tall grass away from the composition I wanted, drank some water from the little river (which was amazingly good), sang along with the music while awaiting the rising sun. It started to look bleak for any good colors as the clouds was thickening in the morning, but I had a slight hope that the sun would rise just in the small gap between the clouds and that was just what it did, for 50 seconds it was like being in some kind of heaven. Captured ontop of Sørkjosen mountain in Nordreisa, Troms, Northern Norway.
*Highly commended in Natural Landscapes - Memorial Maria Luisa competition 2016. Slightly hidden and only showing it´s qualities at low tide this place is absolutely gorgeous. Having photographed for a while now I can hands down say that I have never come across such a complete composition before, it is quite rare to have everything in the frame go so well together as this. Image captured in Steinsvik, Troms, Northern Norway.
The funny thing is that this little river is only about 20 meters away from the main road, but when the conditions is right it is just beautiful, but it has a limited time frame where the light is just right, first two weeks in july. I tried to shoot this one year before I got this image, but the condition was never right, so after having the image in the back of my head for a year it was a good release to finally get it. Captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.
