View from the Sherpa-stairs at Lyngseidet, Norway.

These stairs are built on the side of a mountain and lead to a plateau with gorgeous views towards the fjord and opposite mountains. The plateau is called Verdens Ende a.k.a. The End of the World. But rather than an end, it's a start to trails that lead further into mountains.
The stairs counts about 900 steps and alternates with a 'normal' mountain path, much to the joy of my quads and knees 😅 The name Sherpa-stairs refers to the actual Sherpas that built a stairs. I've been told there are several of these stairs in the mountains throughout the whole of Norway.
Might be a nice bucketlist quest to climb them all!

Just over a week ago. Time moves too fast.

These moments start off as an expression of the moment, then dilute into reflections of the day, then rest on a hard drive for a little bit and if they're lucky they resurface with a sense of urgency. "Please don't forget us" they quietly echo.

Adding to my Blue Norway thread today, with some heavy snow. I love when you can see the weather happening in front of you, when you watch the sky changing. One moment there is clouds out in the fjord, and the next moment they turn dark.

Look closely and you can see a ferry about to be enveloped by the clouds :)

We're in Senja. The weather is a touch dramatic. Indeed we've had to bring out the snow chains to get the van up the laneway more than once. Temperatures are typically around -10°C at this time of year. January is pretty dark but things change quickly in February.

Those moments when the sun wrestles with the clouds are my favourite moments. That's when the magic happens.

Welcome to Norway in winter!

This series is inspired by the snow. It embraces those days when the clouds lie low, and the wind pushes snow across the landscape.

This boat-shed was a favie of mine. A simple subject but rich in detail and mood. I have a lot of shots of this shed.

Tomorrow I'll start sharing a new series of images from Norway. If you can't tell already, I cannot wait to get back and immerse in the Arctic and the snow and special light and the gorgeous scenery and the lovely people. Norway is one of my happy places.

So these images are part of my transition back in 2020. A world where colour is sometimes minimal. From tomorrow we step into the blue of winter.
