As a Landscape Photographer We Wait With Style.... | Info + Comments (6)

Today's post is not only early, it's also just a little fun teaser. Waiting for some better light and the light rain to stop, I chose to make a little image from the view of my office/car.

Last Tuesday I decided to spontaneously take a little ride to the city of Kilpisjärvi, which is in the most North/West of Finland, at the Norwegian border.

While I left in beautiful sunshine, the weather during the trip turned to the worse. Lot's of heavy rain, and cloudy all over the place. Hoping that the weather forecast is going to be right, the conditions should change during the next day.

When I arrived it Kilpisjärvi, I was confronted with a surreal scenery, of very low hanging clouds, and a grey and monotone light. After a little sleep in a little snowstorm, I decided to have a look how it looks like in Norway, since I have never been there before in my life.

Well what can I say...the conditions changed after a minutes. The mountains got so much bigger, the trees green. Just beautiful.

Since I hadn't a map of that area, or GPS I could not explore it so much without fearing to get totally lost (something that occasionally happens to me), but I found some nice spots which will be up during the next few weeks.

I will have a little, not so serious, behind the scene's post coming up on the blog, together with the first real image. In July I will be back there, better prepared this time, and hope for some nice conditions.

Hope you like and thanks for visiting and see you again in a few days....

What you doing sitting about in your car? :) you should be hiking up that hill with your tripod :))). Nice photo.

A beautiful shot. I like how the cloud has the same shape as the hill. The car's interior gives the image a documentary touch...

As a Norwegian it's good to hear that you enjoyed the Norwegian landscape! I'll be looking forward to seeing some photos from Norway in near future :)

Interesting perspective!

This seemed to be an uncharacteristicly haphazard trip Sven. Normally I have the impression that your photo-expeditions are very carefully planned! Anyway a fun picture was the result.
