Happy Monday everyone ✨
The start of a new week always holds a quiet kind of magic. There’s something peaceful about early light brushing over the hills, painting the sky in shades of calm. These moments remind me to slow down and breathe in the beauty around me.
Hi people, I’m Tonny Froyen from Norway — a creator who sees storytelling in light, shadows, and sky. I use photography to reflect how nature can shape our mood, lift us up, and gently push us forward.
Mondays don’t have to be about hustle. They can be about intention. About seeing beauty in the small things and being grateful for what’s already here.

The full moon glows brightly behind the stark silhouette of bare tree branches, creating a haunting yet peaceful nighttime composition. Captured in black and white, this image evokes a quiet, dreamlike mood—highlighting the contrast between nature’s sharp winter geometry and the moon’s soft illumination.
What up everyone! Hope all you guys out there are doing well, and had a great New Year! I am back and in full affect from my autumn travels and working my butt of throughout the rest of the year....whew. I finally have some free time to myself and can start sharing images again.
I'll start by sharing this image that I captured this past fall while visiting the bayou. Each year I try to come up with something different while I am visiting the area. I do get lucky occasionally but on this particular morning I was really working these pointy cypress knees in an area that I've tried to capture many times before and failed. I like this particular scene with the cypress knees in the foreground along with moody background with its autumn colors and subtle reflection.
A gnarled tree stands sentinel on a rugged New Zealand beach, its twisted branches reaching toward a sky set ablaze by a vivid green aurora. Nature’s raw beauty and mystery collide — where darkness meets the dreamlike glow of the southern night.
What's up everyone! Hope you guys are all doing well and getting prepared for summer.....my least favorite time of the year😤 Before I continue with my commentary, I want to thank EVERYONE that sent me birthday wishes yesterday! I greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!
The timing of my latest set of images from my travels to Antartica seems timely. Today I am releasing the entire collection of images from Antartica. I don't even know where to begin, or even how to describe my visit to the bottom of the world....literally.
Antarctica felt like another world. The continent is remote, raw, and impossibly still. The landscape was quiet and lonely, yet alive. To be honest, it was kinda creepy, but so beautiful. From the moment I first laid eyes on the outer islands of Antartica, I was struck by the feeling that I was trespassing in some sacred, secret place. Antartica is a frozen desert that is completely covered in snow and ice. The landscape is monochromatic completely void of trees and vegetation. There were mountains and jagged peaks in every direction. The glaciers and mountains seem to jet out from the sea and rise to thousands of feet into the air. The glaciers spilled down the sides of the mountains as if they were moving in slow motion. I was in absolute awe of the sheer scale of it all. Icebergs.... some as tall as skyscrapers would drift past our ship like a silent floating fortresses. Each one seemed to carry a story, carved by wind and time.
Antartica was full of texture. The ice, the mountains, the icebergs.....TEXTURE MADNESS! In one direction, the ice was smooth as glass, naturally polished by design, in the other, the ice would be fractured and jagged that resembled shattered crystal. Even in stillness, the landscape seemed to shift and breathe. The atmosphere felt otherworldly and surreal. To put it simply the light just hits different that far south! Above the landscape, the skies were dramatic and moody. Even on days that were somewhat sunny, the light would have this silvery tone to it, which was still nice to photograph in, but had a certain type of luminance that was different than any place I had visited. WOW!
Visiting and photographing the continent of Antartica stirred something in me I didn’t expect. I felt small, but not insignificant. I felt a kind of quiet reverence, like I was witnessing something eternal. It reminded me how vast the world is, how powerful and patient nature can be, and how rare it is to feel truly present.
captured in the small village of lüsen in south tyrol, this image reveals the quiet majesty of the alps shrouded in mist. the mountains stand like silent giants, wrapped in a blanket of low-hanging clouds that swirl through the valleys. it’s a moment of serene solitude, where nature’s raw beauty and ever-changing moods take center stage. the deep greens of the forest meet the moody sky, creating a visual poem of tranquility and mystery, inviting you to lose yourself in the whispers of the mountains.
This monumental concrete structure is the only road connection between the Croatian mainland and the island of Pag, located in the northern Adriatic. Pag is renowned for its harsh, rocky terrain, strong winds, and striking, almost otherworldly landscapes. With virtually no vegetation across large stretches of the island, many say it resembles the surface of Mars.
One of Pag’s most scenic routes is the Life on Mars hiking trail, which winds through these barren and beautiful environments. The island is also home to a curious natural mystery known as the Pag Triangle — a geometric, triangle-shaped formation discovered in a remote rocky area. Its unusual shape has sparked speculation, with some believing it could mark the landing site of an alien craft. To this day, its origin remains unexplained.

I felt like Jia Dao's hermit today as I ventured up onto a cloud hidden Kinder Scout. The rain wasn't quite as unrelenting as last time, but still; it had a steady enough rhythm to it.
Ringing Roger has featured in a few photographs in my portfolio as it's a great place to see how layers of sediment were deposited and solidified in succession, forming what are called "bedding planes" in technical geology speak. Over time the wind and rain have also had their influence on the shape and form of these rocks, creating (in my opinion) some of the most interesting gritstone sculptures to be found in High Peak.
I managed to get below the cloud-base eventually, the rest of the day spent mainly (and fruitfully) scouting out the leeside of Win Hill for compositions to re-visit in heather season...I think I found some great scenes. We'll see in August!
Waking in the early hours of a mid October morning, I set off to photograph the fall colours in what I hoped would be some interesting light for sunrise. As I approached my destination in the heart of Muskoka the snow began to fall and it continued with blizzard like conditions for the rest of my journey. Once I arrived, the snow continued to fall creating a haze in the atmosphere and even with a few brief breaks in the clouds, the conditions were far from ideal. I had looked at the weather forecast the night before and had envisioned the scenes I had hoped to capture, the conditions although interesting did not allow me to do this. Still I was able to come away with a few photographs that I am happy with.

Taken on a cold, misty Saturday morning at the Kralingse Plas in Rotterdam, this minimalist black-and-white photograph captures the somber mood of the gray, overcast weather. The stillness of the water and the faint outline of the pier emphasize the tranquility and solitude of the scene, reflecting the melancholic essence of a winter's day. The mist blends seamlessly into the water and sky, creating a timeless, almost ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation.
Morning light unfolding over the heath, between blossoms, webs and juniper. A day that begins in silence, yet tells stories of detail and depth, until the path itself becomes the last word.

As I gaze at this small white boat on the canal estuary to the sea, near the city of Nin (Croatia), I can't help but feel its quiet longing—waiting for someone to take it on an adventure along the beautiful Adriatic coast.

For a moment, the land opens — calm and luminous — before the storm closes in again.
Dead Vlei in Namibia is one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth. These ancient camelthorn trees, estimated to be over 900 years old, stand as skeletal remains in a white clay pan, framed by the towering red dunes of the Namib Desert. Their haunting beauty is a testament to the power of time, nature, and the arid climate that has preserved them in near-perfection.
Half of the experience of landscape photography is the journey up the point you press the shutter and even long after you’ve packed down and started heading back home. It’s why to the photographer, the final piece often has far more meaning than just the artistic principles, compositional technique and processing that culminated in its being.
When I set out I hadn’t realised that a named storm had hit the UK. I’d checked all the local charts and forecasts but hadn’t really zoomed out to the bigger picture, perhaps rather foolishly. My route started in Hathersage where I made my way up to High Neb on Stanage Edge, the rain was relentless and the landscape disappeared and re-emerged from the cloud-base. I’m an optimist when it comes to shooting in harsh conditions but the driving rain made it impossible to shoot anything without the lens being covered in droplets.
Having found the limits of my waterproofs ability to keep my dry and soaked to the bone at this point, I decided to press on along the edge along to Higger Tor and photograph the Kit Kat stones, as I had intended to on New Year’s Eve. An altogether different scene presented itself to the one I had been expecting just two days earlier, with cloud and rain straking through Burbage Valley and between Higger Tor and Carl Wark in the background.
As I was photographing the scene, I realised the last time I shot it was also during a named storm, that being Storm Claudio in November 2022. Quite the opposite of this photograph, dramatic light was the defining feature with a contrast between cool and warm hues that puts it up there with one of my favourite photographs. The experience of the day carried on well into the evening, the flooding and landslides caused by Henk resulting in me being stranded in Nottingham for the night although my stay at the Bentinck Hotel was an extremely pleasant, if largely unanticipated one!
