A small fjord at sunset, at dusk, with a small harbour. First lights are on. Took the photo on my way to Svolvaer.

The sun briefly breaks through the storm clouds. But fierce and threatening storm clouds dominate over the mountains of El Ports

A beautiful plant, the flower that is, to photograph. All the small flowers together form a large flower. Subtle and delicate.
