Scenic hike to Stavbrekktjønna lake in the Breiddalen valley of Norway.
The road to this area is only accessible from late May to November due to deep snow and avalanches. Snow remains here even in summer and gives the impressive natural views a special colorful beauty.

One of the most magnificent fjords in Norway
Just back home after an amazing 10 day trip around Scandinavia. With a group of other great photo-togs and led by David Clapp and Antony Spencer. Will do a full blog write up later. Off to go pick up the pooch and go for a long walk. It has been a long couple of last days. Last night no sleep just shooting Aurora all night (temps from -25 to -37 C) then 3 flights yesterday and driven from Heathrow this morning. Bushed!
This one was taken in the fantastic Lofoten Islands Norway.
Cheers to all the guys who made this a top trip hope everyone gets home ok.
Scandinavia 1993: Cruising the archepelago east along the Finnish coast at sunset on the Silja Europa. This was an extraordinary experience, on a 60000 tonne ship moving with hardly a ripple past myriad small islands and floes. It brings to a close that great adventure with our very young family.
Lovely clear skies over Scandinavia
Looking north over Denmark.

-Norway-
Hiked multiple days in a row through the rain along cliffs to the same location until the weather conditions finally satisfied me. First hike was accompanied by wind and rain so strong that rain droplets were actually flying upwards because of the winds gusting through the fjords. I sat in astonishment as droplets of rain flew in the opposite direction right before my eyes. Truly a phenomenon that only presents its self with the right conditions. I first saw a shot of this location when i was 14 years old and on that day i vowed to put a bit of spare change aside each year until i have enough to witness its beauty with my own two eyes. Five years later i found myself in Europe and decided there is no way i was leaving that continent without photographing Norway, this is the end result. I give thanks to my buddy Alex for being such a patient trooper and posing for me. Norway and this location will truly always be in my heart.
