Hamnoy in the blue light

Hamnøy is fishing village , surrounded by majestic, rugged mountains. Access to the photo location however is surprisingly easy. The photo is taken from a road bridge with a pedestrian footpath. There is a small amount of space to park nearby, but be careful not to block private access to any fish drying racks, properties, or bus stops. This is an iconic view, accessible to all. There is no rough ground to the location on the bridge, but there may be snow or ice in the winter along with the possibility of a strong, cold wind from the sea. In bad weather there may be clouds obstructing the view of the mountains or their peaks. If this photo is taken in darkness there is artificial light in the village to be mindful of, but there is sufficient darkness that photos of the northern lights can be taken above the village from this viewpoint. My photo above was taken in winter, but this location is beautiful year-round.
