New Photo: Mountain Road

The curse of loving photography is that you never just ‘do something’. Even just driving in a car as a passenger. Others might just sit and maybe check the phone, listen to music, or play a dumb travel game – but my head goes around like a lighthouse, trying to see opportunities to abruptly stop the car. So I did in this case – and I gotta say, that feeling of standing on a road that is properly frequented never gets old. Don’t worry, each crossing takes 4 seconds and there is no danger to me or other drivers, but it’s still a fun little rush every time. Sometimes it is in the small adventures, isn’t it?

Oh, this scene is on the Lofoten Islands in Norway. You can stop your car every 4 seconds and find similar views to this. It’s maddening!

Here is a little moonrise for you! I was taking sunset pictures and just about to leave the place when I realized a light emerging from behind the mountain. A few seconds later I was presented with this amazing scene – I don’t think I assembled my tripod that fast ever before! It lasted for about 2 minutes, after which the moon was too far up to keep that perceptually large proportion. The moral of the story is – sometimes it’s good to stay a bit longer and see what happens.

These fishing huts are everywhere on the Lofoten Islands in Norway – supposedly they are traditional, though, of course, they gained an upgrade for tourists. In Svolvaer, one of the north-most cities on the Lofoten, you can jump on a speed boat to see the eagles – which is another story, but this is one of the pictures I took on the speed boat! Granted, this particular row or Rorbuers looks a bit static, but trust me when I say others have way more character.

The Lofoten Islands in Norway have loads of beaches – this is ‘just one of them’. The problem is that one looks better than the other! As I took the picture, I loved the clouds – but about 10 seconds later we had to hightail it back to the car to escape the hardcore shower! Worth it though!

The Lofoten in Norway have all sorts of little beaches – and with the mountains, you can get an awesome composition in no time! Add some sunset to the equation and you can’t help but marvel at the stunning nature that presents itself behind every turn. Mind the seagulls, they are rude!
