The Norwegian Sea near Lofoten is beautiful. Johan captured this photograph from a mountaintop near Moskenes on a cold winter day.
On the horizon, you see a few coastal islands. One has a lighthouse on it. In the back, you see the silhouette of the coastal mountains that dominate the coastline of Lofoten. It was a very calm but cloudy day. A longer exposure time smoothened the seawater and sky. The black & white presentation, in combination with the smoother sky and water, creates a minimalist and soothing feel.
Lofoten is a beautiful archipelago on the west coast of Norway. It lies within the Arctic Circle and offers stunning coastal and mountain scenery. This is especially so in winter, because of how the mountains with snow stand out against the water of the sea near Lofoten. Besides that, Lofoten has many secluded bays, beaches, and untouched lands. So, if you get the chance to visit, go for it!

Beautiful black and white photograph of the Norwegian coast. The minimalistic smooth look of the ocean and clouds suit perfectly to the photograph.

Thank you Anette! Glad you like it. We should go to Lofoten together someday! 🙂
