Golden hour on Grøtfjord, Norway

One of the advantages of heading to northern Norway in winter is, the sun is at such a low angle that whenever it shines it is always golden hour. Admittedly the daylight hours are limited, but during that span of daylight the colours are beautiful.

This photo was taken at the end of a fjord where the water gets quite shallow and is usually quite still. The rounding of the shore line made a nice framing for the reflection of the mountain on the other side.

This was 2018, had I taken the shot in January of 2025 I might have been tempted to edit with a bit of AI and remove some of the shrubs and twigs in the foreground, but on the other hand I do like the natural look.
