Enjoying nature

In my profession I have to deal with all kind of weather. Yesterday was one of those unforgettable moments. The weather was just fantastic. The sun was shining, temperature at 0 degrees Celsius and no wind. The sun created wonderful light as it set. I stood on this mountain as long as it was light trying to catch some photos of the highest peak you see in the background. It is called Storsylen. With 1762 m above sea level it is the highest mountain on the border between Norway and Sweden.
At around 4 pm it got dark, and of course I had forgotten to bring my flashlight. Nope, I won´t do that again, thats for sure. Don´t worry it all went well on the trip down.

  8. Stort bilde på mange måter Ivar, når man står slik å beskuer et slikt vakkert landskap oppdager man hvor liten man egentlig er i det store og det hele. Veldig flott bilde! Husk lys mann :o)

  13. The moment counts. Not everything we can capture with the camera, much of it remains only in us. I'm excited to see such landscapes are to be allowed. Thanks for that.Fantastic!!! greetings from bavaria Manuela
