The Silent Sunrise

The light in winter is just beautiful (if the weather allows). From the end of September until the beginning of April you will have winterish light characteristics, as the sun does not rise higher than 20° above the horizon, and during the Arctic winter the sun won’t be rising at all..The 4 hours of sunlight we had at Lofoten Islands means to every landscape photographer that we have one continuous sunrise/sunset. The sun would peek over the horizon, stay just high enough to turn the sky every color of gold, orange, and pink that you could imagine, and then it would disappear again. And then for 3 hours either side of this, we would have what is called “blue hour” — twilight that turns the whole landscape blue .The photo was by my Rorbus i stayed for two nights at this location. Norway Lofoten islands .Many thanks to everyone who took the trouble to view comment or fave !
