    Travelling North

    20 lutego, Norwegia ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C

    Amidst our exploration, fortune smiled upon us once more. We spotted a little seal, its sleek, dark figure contrasting beautifully against the muted tones of the surrounding waters. The sight was a delightful reminder of the wildlife that thrives in these harsh conditions, and capturing this moment felt like a small victory against the day's gloomy start.

    As the day progressed and our collection of photographs grew, we decided to venture further, heading to our new location in the east of the Lofoten Islands. The journey itself was a testament to the ever-changing landscapes of this arctic paradise. Each turn brought new vistas into view, from towering mountains shrouded in mist to the vast, open sea, its surface rippled by the falling rain.

    Arriving at our new destination, we were greeted by yet another facet of Lofoten's diverse beauty. The eastern part of the islands promised new adventures and photographic opportunities, a fresh canvas on which to record our experiences. Despite the initial disappointment with the weather, the day proved to be a rewarding exploration of light, landscape, and the unexpected moments that make travel photography so fulfilling.

    A last "sunrise" at Hamnøy

    20 lutego, Norwegia ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

    The day greeted us with less than ideal weather conditions as we awoke to a gray sky, the pristine snow now replaced by persistent rainfall. The transformation of the landscape under the rain's gentle siege initially seemed to dampen our spirits. However, undeterred by the weather's whims, we set out, cameras in hand, ready to embrace the day's challenges.

    Remarkably, the rain brought with it an unexpected gift—the light conditions were in our favor. The overcast sky diffused the light perfectly, eliminating harsh shadows and illuminating the landscapes with a soft, even glow. This gentle lighting allowed us to capture the rugged beauty of the Lofoten Islands in a way that was both unique and compelling. The rain seemed to enhance the colors of the natural world, making the greens of the grass and the grays of the rocks more vibrant and pronounced.

    19 lutego, Norwegia ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C

    Our day began with the promise of light, as a beautiful sunrise painted the sky with hues of gold and pink, offering a brief spectacle before the sun retreated behind the advancing clouds. This fleeting light set an optimistic tone for the day, encouraging us to seek out the beauty in the ever-changing Lofoten weather.

    As the sun hid, the clouds cast a soft, diffused light across the landscapes, creating a serene backdrop for our photographic journey. Despite the absence of golden sunlight, the day was rich with photographic opportunities. By afternoon, we found ourselves on a snowy beach, an unusual and captivating scene. The contrast of the pristine white snow against the dark, rugged coastline was striking. Our cameras captured the serene beauty of this landscape, where the elements harmoniously collided.

    The adventure continued as we took to the skies with our drone, soaring over bridges that spanned the icy waters below. The drone offered us a bird's-eye view of the stunning architecture and the dramatic landscapes that surround it. The footage captured not just the physical beauty of the bridges but also the sense of isolation and tranquility that pervades this remote part of the world.

    As the day waned, the sunset we had hoped for turned into a subtle blue hour, a time when the sky is neither fully lit nor completely dark. This magical hour provided a soft, ethereal light, perfect for the climax of our day's exploration. We climbed a small hill, pushing through the cold to reach a vantage point that offered an unparalleled panoramic view of the surrounding area. From this height, the Lofoten Islands unfolded before us in a spectacle of muted blues and greys, a vast and silent world under the soft twilight.

    Leknes - the start of our journey

    17 lutego, Norwegia ⋅ 🌬 -2 °C

    Our latest adventure took us on a photography tour, a journey that began in Zurich and spiraled into the heart of Norway, culminating in the quaint town of Leknes. The itinerary promised a blend of urban sophistication and pristine natural beauty.

    The Odyssey Begins
    Our journey kicked off in Zurich. From there, we ventured northward, making our way through Oslo, where the charm of Norwegian culture began to seep into our experience. The transition from the urban landscape of Oslo to the rugged beauty of Bodo marked the beginning of our immersion into the Norwegian wilderness.

    The final leg of our travel was a flight to Leknes, a destination that seemed a world away from the cosmopolitan streets of Zurich.

    Leknes: A Symphony of Weather
    After a brief rest at our hotel, eager to explore, we stepped out into the little town of Leknes. This town, nestled in the Lofoten Islands, is a canvas of breathtaking vistas, where every corner promises a perfect snapshot. Our walk was an initiation into what we affectionately dubbed "real Norwegian weather." The day started with the sun casting a golden hue over the rugged landscapes, enhancing the beauty of the town and inviting us to capture its essence through our lenses.

    However, as any seasoned traveler to these northern reaches knows, the weather here is as unpredictable as it is beautiful. Within moments, the sunny skies were overtaken by clouds, and a snowstorm swept through the town. This sudden change was not just a meteorological phenomenon but a dramatic shift in the landscape's character. The snow added a mystical veil to Leknes, transforming it into a winter wonderland right before our eyes.
