The Best Fjord Spots Near me

Near Reine, Norway the Eliassen Rorbuer overlooks Moskenesøya. This is just one of many tiny fishing villages between the Lofoten Islands which is a fantastic place to eat or sleep while visiting the Arctic Circle.

After a beautiful cruise through the Milford Sound Fjord in New Zealand we saw the sun set behind the mountains. Beautiful :)

My problem with posing (when I do it - just like in this photo) is that I kinda get lost, looking at the horizon. What the lens did not capture (shame really because it would have made an excellent b-roll) is me rolling a cigarette and enjoying the next 15’, taking in all this beauty. Today actually, someone told me that this kind of scenery / location / weather might be depressing. I don’t take depression lightly, since I had a quick “brush” with that monster myself. Nevertheless, I like to see the diversity in experience people have when looking at my pictures. I was happy in this one btw…

Milford Sound is all the more spectacular on a day with rainstorms passing through. We were lucky enough to catch a nice clearing and I snapped this shot as we entered the sound from the ocean.

Humpback whales are so majestic creatures and so peaceful, to be able to observe them was really a unique experience.

On a dock in Hamnøy using the woody frame towards a peak during the sunset, liked the shot and the frame cause it defines the proximity between the fisherman villages and the hikes in Lofoten Islands.

I’d had a pensive couple of days with some moments of high emotion. I’d decided a day ago that I ought to take a moment for myself, one that will hopefully remind me how fortunate I am regardless of anything else going on in life. I didn’t anticipte that this sunrise to be quite so soul-stirring as it was. And I certainly didn’t expect to have it entirely to myself. It felt ethereal and magic and left me shook up in an unsettled but wondrous way for the remainder of the day.

The view of these Ionian island silhouettes is probably fairly similar to the one seen by ancient Greeks. Perhaps even Odysseus himself.

After the hike to the Preikestolen, we wanted to get to the Peak. On the downhike, i captured this picture.

Taken while aboard a ship during the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour. Black and white film was perfect for this moment showing the true contrast of the cliffs versus the sky. Shot on Kodak Tmax 100 with a Canon A2E in 2002.
