Snow-Capped Fjord View

I have got to strenuously disagree with my friend who remarked, “When you’ve seen one fjord, you’ve seen them all.” As a photographer, I find the clouds and the angle of the sun have a significant impact on the atmosphere of any landscape, and of course the winter snow can be the “icing on the cake.”

This panoramic view from the Lofoten Islands of Norway features a harmonious blend of direct sun, snow-capped peaks and deep blue waters in the fjord.

Warmer hues in the foreground contrast the cool blue tones in the sea, the mountains and the clouds in the panorama of a Norwegian fjord.

Having a photographer’s eye helps me enjoy Nature to the fullest. A tolerance for cold weather and international travel helps too.

The location of this fjord is shown on this Google map, which I pulled up on my iPhone that frosty morning in February.
