Ja, vi elsker .., a photo from Nordland, North

Photographer's Note

* from the Norwegian anthem Ja, vi elsker dette landet ("Yes, we love this country")

Shot from a little pier in front of our sleeping accomodation (in the background) called a Rorbu (a fishermans cottage). Although I suspect these tourist accomodation have little to do with the traditional cottages in terms of the interior design .. as the tourists cottages are full of modern amenities. However they do retain their outer design, and most importantly, the view of the wonderful landscapes, when you wake up.

As a rule I`m a poor sleeper when traveling (kind of anxious by nature and when out of the daily routine), however I slept like a log there, under the long twilight and the glimpsing, pale northern lights.

Thanks for seeing and reading.

Shot with a Tokina 12-24 at 12mm (hence the slight distortion)

Hello Miha,
This is a beautiful blue hour photo from Reine. Many TE members have been to this place recently, so it seems to have become a very popular destination. It's not hard to understand why. The scenery is fantastic and you have captured it well. The light is very well handeld and the warm lights from the cottages create a wonderful atmosphere.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Miha,
What a beautiful photo from Norway! Excellent composition with a good addition of the lovely red houses in the right foreground. The reflections in the rippleless water are beautiful and you captured this night scene with excellent sharpness and clarity.

Dragi Miha,

kada vidim kuda si sve pro歛o, po瀍lim da i ja malo mrdnem iz mog zavičaja. U međuvremenu snalazim se na licu mesta kako umem.

Scena koju si prikazao deluje sasvim mirno. Voda je zaspala, nebo de瀠ra. Sijalice jo� tinjaju do leganja. Kao da si i ti ovo napravio pre pred ga歟nje svetla.

Puno te pozdravljam i zahvaljujem na podr歝i povodom seksističkog incidenta u mojoj galeriji.
