From a quiet Norwegian shore to millions of screens — Bunes Beach remembered

This photo was taken in August 2012 at Bunes Beach on the Lofoten Islands, Norway – a remote, dramatic stretch of coastline framed by towering granite cliffs. A few months after uploading it to 500px.com, I was contacted by the Google Chrome Business Development Team, who wanted to license the image for using it for their latest upcomming product.

I agreed, and I’m proud that this photo became the default desktop wallpaper on one of the first Chromebooks.
