Finally Mother Nature wanted to give me a beautiful sunset. This day it kind of happened the opposite way of what it uses to do. It wasn’t one cloud the whole day, but I went to the location anyway. And as time went and the sunset got closer, clouds started popping out from nowhere, just to please my sensor!
I shot a few okay landscape shots during the sunset though, but when it started to fade I went for a little walk. Into the woods, up, down, between, under, almost falling, and suddenly a lookout I didn’t know of appeared in front of my eyes. It’s maybe a little hard to see on the photograph, but I’m standing about 1 meter from the edge and it probably was 5-10 meters down.
The sunset was about to say goodnight, but some colours still filled the sky with glory.

The photograph

This is probably the photograph from this session that I’m the most happy with. The view from here was amazing and I feel I got to capture the feelings I experienced at the location. What I like the most about the photograph is probably the high point of view and the cyan coloured water.

The location

Again the same place as lots of my other photographs. The location is called Karlsvika and is where my family has a cottage. There are just so many possibilities here and I’d never been to this exact place so it was very nice to find it.

Where did the frame go?
Haha, I changed my mind… Again…
I’ve tried so many types of frames, but I always seem to come back to these simple ones with
just a small shadow. So I replaced this photo (which had a black frame) with this.
Why? I think it looked messy on my stream and the pictures turned out to small. The frame got to much attention I think. I like to keep things simple, but I also need to experiment some. Yeye, back to old business!
