A mess!

Four Spotted Chaser seen at RSPB Old Moor (2152)

After visiting the iconic mountain in summer I returned in winter to enjoy the amazing view. And strong winds...

This photo was made on the third day after the sun rises over the horizon again after the long polar night though the sun didnt make it up over the mountains.

The day before weather was bad, light was lousy, but the next morning I found Cape Tungeneset covered with a thin layer of fresh snow, yet untouched and unspoiled by other visitors. Since I walked with crampons I left only very tiny traces.

By the way: the cliffs here are freezed over, so crampons are not only helpful, but necassary.

View down the Valley to Buttermere, Cumbria. (2166)

The cape of Tungeneset on Senja is a special place - cliffs like petrified waves with patterns and rockpools, with the Oksen mountains in the background. But it is also crowded with tourists. You need a bit of patience, until you have this beautiful spot for yourself. I made this photo around 1 pm.

Beautiful alpine valley, little village wwith its beautiful alpine-style houses, nice holiday memory.

Crummock Water, Cumbria. is not as well known as Buttermere but it is just as beautiful. It is possible to walk all the way around the lake. approx 9 miles. The scenery is wonderful. (2065)

Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly seen at RSPB Blacktoft Samds. (1892)

I am (yet!) not so good in focusing at night. But this Aurora borealis over Ersfjordbotn was so incredibly bright that my auto-focus just kicked in.

The Ersfjord is a perfect background for Polarlights. It is meanwhile that popular, that the iclandic touristindustry uses photos of Ersfjord for advertising Iceland. (Watch out at the international airport of Keflavik when you arrive!)

Four Spot Chaser seen at North Cave. (1886)

Three times I climbed up the steep slopes around the Segla, Senjas best known mountain, to get this view: everything covered in fog, just the summits looking out from a sea of white and the iconic rock of Segla glowing in the morning sun. Although morning means in this case a couple of minutes after midnight. Additional thanks to the unknown photographer collegue, who was brave enough to go that close to the abyss.
