I wish more people could see the beauty in our world. The things that make this planet remarkable. The little details. The grandeur of its complexity. The harmony of nature. The preciousness of our very existence.

I wish every human on the planet could experience the beauty I've seen, and not just from the photos.

Textures and a mood.

These two images are from several weeks ago when we visited a Sami family and got a chance to say hello to a few of their herd.

If you know nothing about the Sami people, then it's worth seeking those who wish to share their stories. These are the people who inhabited the Arctic long before the crowns made it up north. There is great diversity in culture and language across the Sami, and a deep connection to the reindeer.

From two nights ago. We had clear skies last night but pretty close to zero solar wind. Plenty of stars but no aurora.

Some nights it's on fire, some nights it's asleep :)

This time of year we very excited to see the sun. It reaches out across the frozen lakes, painting in the snow and ice with golden tones. I love it.

Today just keeps getting better. A hint of sunlight across the salt lake, and time stands still.

It's a foxy morning here in Norway. Little paw prints leaving a trail in the snow, and purple hues filling the fjord.

Today was lovely.

Am very lucky to share so much of my life with people who show me a path to being my best self.

Quick and dirty TL from last night. Gentle activity and a little extra colour before the high clouds claimed the night.

Stepped out this morning when I saw the light hitting nearby peaks. It started off pink but turned a little peach by the time I got out there with a lens :)

I'm often asked what lenses to pack for travel in the Arctic, and while I lament the chore of lugging about a telephoto there are the occasional moments when punching in to a mountain ridge is exactly the creative direction I want to take.

This is a popular walk with locals in the Grovfjord area. My idea of a walk however usually ends in hotdogs or cinnamon scrolls :)

I love the combination of winter cold and clear skies. Indeed the coldest days are the clearest up here.

Blue skies, a fjord freezing over with ice, and just a hint of sun even though it's still below the horizon at this time of year.

Arctic Norway in January.

I'm sitting down by the log fire after two weeks of shooting in the far north. I have a folder with 1TB of RAW files to rummage through. Might take a while :)

This image was taken in Grovfjord, a real hidden gem that sits half way between Senja and Lofoten. Most people think of January as one of the dark winter months, but there is just enough light to bring the colours too :)
