A stork with a twig

It's autumn

5 pictures from Norway

In August I travelled to Norway with my family. Naturally, I took far too many pictures there, but I'll share 5 of the better ones here. I hope to compile and upload a bigger album soon, so this post will be updated with a link to that, then.

The picture is taken from atop of a dam in Hunderfossen.

Sheep! They were everywhere. In this occasion they were about 1700m up in the mountains.

Imagine hiking in the mountains all day. You arrive at this lake, exhausted. You can just sit down, relax and enjoy the calmness of the place. For hours. Picture taken in Skjolden.

A scenic boatride in the fjords which ended in the Nærøyfjorden. Sadly, the picture doesn't do justice to the magnificence of the place.

This photo is snapped on the same boatride.

Moon over a lake

This picture is taken about a year ago. You may notice there's no reflection of the moon on the water. That's because I used a kind of a multi-exposure effect. I zoomed in to the moon, covered the lens shortly after pressing the shutter release button, zoomed out to the bridge, uncovered the lens and after a while I released the button. Recomposing was the tricky part as it's impossible to see anything throught the viewfinder while taking the picture. Although the moon isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be, I like the result.
