No colourful sunrise on Sunday morning but I enjoyed capturing the subtle pinks of this frozen fjord location. Unfortunately we didn't have very long there to fully explore its potential.

Aurora Borealis, Lofoten Islands, Norway
Posting these Aurora shots a bit out of sequence but I know one or two folk will be wanting to see them straightaway - sorry to make you even more envious. Not the most spectacular display I have seen but the location made up for it.

Fjord Reflections, Lofoten Islands
Reflections on the fjords are so transitory - this one was there for only five minutes before the wind ruffled the surface and it was gone. The close ups are of the salmon farm enclosures; in the last image a flock of Eider ducks floated past making their haunting calls.

Hamnoy Bridge and Sakrisoy Lofoten Islands, Norway
These images were taken within an hour and yet the colour of the light was so different it makes white balance adjustment very tricky and I am not at all happy with the results - the blues tend on the cyan side and if corrected the images look 'muddy'. I only have Lightroom while travelling but I am looking forward to trying some of the Nik suite on them. Of course, Ian will remind me that I should have been travelling with a colour checker passport! The last pair of images are shot at 0.5 sec and 30 secs (using a 10-stop neutral density filter.

Yellow and Red Houses, Lofoten Islands
The traditional fishing huts on stilts come in two flavours, yellow and red - both excellent for landscape photography. The cliffs scenes are from A the most northerly point of the Lofoten Islands. Night scenes from around our cabin.
Reine District Dawn
We went out to watch the sunrise on a bridge overlooking Reine - not a great hardship as first image taken at 9.30am. There were snow showers and then clearer periods. We then returned to our cabins and the sun the came out for us. The images are in chronological order showing the changes in the light. The last image is home for 3 nights - more of these to follow.

Haukland Beach Lofoten Islands Norway
The flight from Bodo to Leknes was very bumpy going through large cumulus clouds but, by the time we had been picked up from the airport, the rain had gone and the sky cleared. We travelled a short way to Haukland Beach and were treated to a beautiful sunset. There were still large blocks of ice on the river banks and beach, which made great lead-in features for the compositions.
Oslo Opera House and Harbour
We got the train into Oslo on Monday evening to shoot the final light of the day in the harbour.Very impressive building and waterfront though there are a lot of building works going on at the moment.
