Norway
8400 kilometers by car, many kilometers on foot in wild nature. Swamps, sand, stones or snow underfoot. Wind, cold, rain, heat, tons of sweat and sometimes wonderful midnight sunset. Tuna for lunch and for dinner as well. Simply one month in the north in a good company and with camera swinging on the shoulder.
As evening falls, heavy clouds come in from the west and raise hell over the summit of Nørdre Smedhamran. I like this peak, not only in the atmosphere of a snow storm. The gradual, snow-covered slopes contrast sharply with the black perpendicular wall that falls down to the east. The mountain itself is magically dramatic. I wait for the right moment when the clouds part slightly.

Most of the lakes on the Dørålstjørnin plateau are quite large and the opposite shores are far away. The most beautiful lake, small and hidden, needs a bit of searching. It will reward you with a line of trees on the opposite shore, in autumn with beautifully coloured crowns. With a bit of luck, the leaves remain on the trees, while the distant peaks are already covered with snow. The wind remains the greatest enemy then, brushing the water's surface and destroying the desired reflection of the dramatic mountains.

As evening approaches, the sun plays a game of lights and shadows on the Rondane peaks. It highlights the texture of the rock ribs and enhances the whiteness of the snow cover. In the late afternoon, it shines right onto the eastern summit of Midtronden.

Colourful autumn in the valley and winter on the snowy peaks. The Rondane mountains could not have put on a more perfect show. The distinctive Midtronden peak from the Døråldalen valley. An afternoon accompanied by a bitter cold wind that at least blew the clouds away.

Where the single trees slowly give way to an orange grove, the blue-tinged surface of lake Heimveitjønna glistens. With the last of my strength, I force myself to snap a few pictures. At that moment, I still don't realise how perfect the blue hour is and what a magical melancholy the calm water surface creates. I click a few compositions that seem good enough and look forward to the tent. I like this one the best. The roots provide a counterbalance to the slopes of Mount Stor Svuku in the background, while the colorful treetops offset the dark water surface.

The morning is really cold for the first time, the birch trees around the lake are dropping leaves by the dozen. It's almost as if autumn had said goodbye the previous evening and winter had taken over Femundsmarka by morning. Just after dawn, the sun shows itself for a few more moments and even touches the summit of Stor Svuku. The surface of Heimveitjønna lake remains calm.

A bizarre and beautiful place in the middle of the tundra - Oasen. Two streams meet at one point and divide again at the same point. The twisted trees and red stands of blueberries. You have to wait for the light, but when it comes, the Nordic landscape is totally worth it.

The weather calms down for once so there is an opportunity to explore Oasen and its surroundings. It's definitely not just about two most beautiful views. There are interesting compositions along the stream and especially in the lower part below the lake. Here, the thin birch trunks twist strangely and the ground is covered with a fluffy moss canopy. Paradise!

The slopes of the distant mountains disappear in the grey mist of rain with dramatic speed, after a while only the grey wall of water is visible. We set up our tent in an emergency. We make it just in time, no sooner do we get inside than a wave of rain sweeps over us. But in the end it is not as threatening as it seemed at first and within half an hour the rain leaves. And it leaves in style. Suddenly the sun peeks out - the first time we see Femundsmarka in the sunshine! Farther north, dark clouds are driving in, but the surrounding tundra is bathed in rays of light and a rainbow arches over it all.

A moment without rain on the Røvoltjønnan lake plateau. Here, the tundra turns into swamps and the swamps into lakes. Crossing the plains with dry feet is practically impossible. With autumn, the swamps dip into muted tones of orange and brown. This also makes it seem somewhat gloomy. A lone tree in the distance catches my eye and I take this picture at the very moment the weak rays of the sun touch the slopes of the distant mountain.

A place I dreamt of, an oasis in the middle of the tundra. We are greeted by heavy rain and strong wind. But fears that the line of trees behind the pond will be devoid of leaves are dispelled. The trees are still holding their colorful leaves, the timing couldn't be better. I just wait for a moment without rain, which comes shortly after dusk. Only the water surface remains restless.

I like this place, I would like to stay, but the best of this landscape barely starts here.

When mountains (specifically those on the right side of this picture) turned red I knew there is limited time to get to better location than was our campsite. We left our things on the spot and drove to higher place with view to Bispen and Kongen mountains.

Kvalvika beach
Lofoten island are probably not famous for its beaches but these seem to be one of the best places to visit. If you decide to overnight there, you will probably experience heavy winds as it is usually windy at night. However in the morning you are rewarded with one of the best wakeups one can imagine.

Rivers in Rago national park create pure wild scenery and steep rocky hills allow you to see it all from above. Tjønnmoa meander on the river Nordfjordelva as seen from way to Litlverivassfossen.

Rocky hills, forests, rivers, swamps, lakes and waterfalls, that is what is Rago about. Shot taken near highest waterfall Litlverivassfossen. You cas see small bridge crossing it close to the lake on the right side.

Staying at self-service Storskogvasshytta for night in the middle of Rago national park allowed me to shoot colorful sunset over Storskogvatnet lake. It was almost midnight when I took this photo as Rago lies beyond the Arctic Circle.

Landscape in Dovrefjell–Sunndalsfjella National Park during ascent to Snøhetta summit. Due to recent rains this hike ended early at some uncrossable river. Still it was an unordinary experience.
