Thank You SO much for your comments and invites!!
Nope, this is not SCOTLAND!!
For our Summer holiday, we visited the Lofoten Islands, Norway, for
Just five days, the rest was spent around Tromso.
Never have I seen such a beautiful place, meadows full of lush grasses and wild flowers of all colours. The mountains rearing up from the sea.....someone on the TV recently described Lofoten as being like the Isle of Skye "on steroids" !! Another pleasure, was the wooden buildings, a lot of which are painted red. Lofoten is a photographer's paradise, so many opportunities, and uncrowded with a lot of single track roads to explore, off the beaten track.
We went prepared for cold weather...The Lofoten's are North of the Arctic Circle, but it was much milder than we anticipated! All down to the influence of the Gulf Stream, the same as us!
The Land of the Midnight Sun. I had hoped to capture it, but each time we were somewhere to get the shot, the clouds moved in!
It is so weird though, it really does stay incredibly bright, all through the night!
Mostly the weather was very good to us, too nice sometimes, with very bright blue skies and no clouds, not great for Landscapes.
I would LOVE to go back when Winter still has it's grip, I imagine the light to be to die for!
( Note to self.....I would love to go back ANYTIME!)
This particular shot, .....we had passed by this scene a couple of times, and I didn't like the light, but on this occasion, it was really quite miserable, but with tiny glimmers of sun stabbing through the curtains of rain. EXACTLY the way I wanted it.
I just fell in love with that ramshackle old hut.
A five shot HDR, and a touch of Orton.
This is my INTERPRETATION of what I saw!
