The sun is back. Still not hot enough to feel it on the cheeks, but the light is fantastic. These pictures are from when the sun goes down more or less. It is still very cold these days, about 15 to 20 below zero, Celsius. That means wonderful colours that lasts from the sunset and a couple of hours.
Stunning images, Bente. I love the light you’ve captured. It’s so soft and gentle to the eye.
Perfect time to take photos.
That is the good thing about this conditions: very soft light..
gorgeous!
Thanks a lot, Nancy.
Wonderful images Bente! Despite the cold I think I would very much like to experience the Norwegian winter! Perhaps I will one day. I had a very good friend at university, Stig, and he invited me many times, sadly I was never able to make the trip.
Stig is a typical norwegian name. You should try, Chillbrook, but it looks best in really cold weather. So be prepared.
yes, they are lovely – stunning!
Thanks, Z. Different than the tropics.
That blue tone is so gorgeous!
Glad you liked these blues, Emilie.
Fabulous!
Thanks.
Beautiful Captures:)
Thanks.
WOW…. beautiful pictures as always! I especially love the one with the little church!
The church is a very frozen chapell. Thanks, Roxi.
Lovely!!!
Thanks, Sally.
Like others before me I am very impressed by these images. The light is fantastic but you really have made the absolute best of it, Bente.
That is very kind of you, Andrew, thanks.
Truly natural beauty!
Thats right. Thanks, Roberta.
Winter has never looked so good!
Thanks a lot, Susan.
Such wonderful lighting. I’m so glad to see it in your images, but I wouldn’t want to be out in it. Thanks for providing these luscious images while I stay warm.
Please stay warm, Gunta, and thanks a lot.
Where is this Located? I want to visit this nice Litle Church one day.
This is Stugudal kapell (chapell), in Tydal, about in the middle of Norway. A mountain village.
how utterly beautiful! I would love to be there to feel that. We’re aiming for 3 days of very high temps – at least one well and truly over the old 100 mark and maybe all 3!
That is really the opposite from here. Stay cool.
These photos are magnificent. Almost makes me want to welcome the snow that’s coming our way tonight. Almost
Enjoy the snow, Gemma, thanks.
It’s a gorgeous winter landscape, Bente. The light is magical, indeed. Will it start warming up soon?
Not before sometime in March, Karen. The sun is very low and still not warm at all. But love the light, we got a bit more of it now. Thanks.
Wonderful shots!!! Last one is awesome!!!
Nydelig vær og lys om dagen
Vakre bilder.
The light and the colors are fantastic. The first and last photos are spellbinding!
These are ever so beautiful. You make the scenes come to life.My favorite is the old church, because I like old houses, barns, churches. These kinds of buildings now days are not made in the same manner. The old buildings have so much charm and it seems integrity for they have stood the test of time.
WOW! I can’t imagine myself being in that condition with the temperature 15 or 20 below zero, Celsius.
Very nice winter scenes! May I know what white balance you set on those pictures? Thank you in advance.
Bonjour, ces photos sont magnifiques, comme d’habitude, merci beaucoup de souligner ces beautés qui illuminent notre vie. Le meilleur à vous, …
Just beautiful, Bente. Sorry I haven’t visited much – I’ll try better.
Amazing photos – high sun, white snow and low temperature a wonderful mixture…
The first is … “Whow” !
Väldig vackra bilder Bente! (as always!)
This big cold, is very beautiful in your photos!
beautiful winter images
Wonderfully snow landscape
Wau, I like the light! Great landsape with a lot of fresh air…..
Absolutely stunning, mystical winter wonderland
We just got about 10 inches of snow here, but it’s still nothing like the winter wonderland of your photos. I love the winter light. The pale blues and pinks are so lovely.
Beautiful, looks like you have been having wonderful weather! Perfect for photography! The first photo captures the “blue moment” when the sun is going down. In Finnish the blue moment is called “sininen hetki.”
The photos look so warm even though I know it’s a snowy landscape.
Bente, these are so beautiful! #1 is my favorite. The lines are so lovely.
Fantastiske bilder, Bente – virkelig vakre! Vinterlandskapet fra sin beste side. Og du får med all tydelighet fram at det er kaldt!
Oh, that magnificent blue!
WOW! Thank you for sharing pictures of your winter wonderland! It’s so beautiful how pure and white everything is! I’ve never seen anything like that!
¡Fantásticas! ¡Qué belleza más serena!
Beautiful shots as always!
Winter in your contry is absolutely fantastic.
But taking pictures under this temperature is an exploit so much the frost is present.
So magnificient pictures
These images convey the true character of winter – they go far beyond the familiar ‘pretty picture’.
Lovely. Just love the photo with the little church!
Beautiful pictures… as always!
Oh these are beautiful. Have you heard about some of the states on the east coast having as much as 40 feet of snow falling?
I just love the white against the blue sky.. Do you also eat blinis the first day the sun shines on your house!!
Wow Bente, brilliant and beautiful. A winter wonderland
How gorgeous!!
I have to comment again….some of the most beautiful images I’ve seen in awhile
I love the light in the first 3 shots… the last image looks from another planet
Incredible photos, but what struck me the most is the difference between our countries. Down here I managed to get sunburnt yesterday, so strong was the sun. And yet, just a few degrees to the north, you’re still in the middle of a winter like I’ve never seen. This planet of ours is truly incredible.
So beautiful. I love this magic light of the long dawn in the North. You captured it very good. Ha en fin ukestart! Og jeg gleder meg, at du forstod den tyske teksten min så veldig godt!
Fantastic light indeed, makes me want to go back up North
Une pure merveille, c’est ce qui me manque chez moi, le ciel bleu. Dès que le soleil apparait, les couleurs changent et tout devient si beau.
Merci pour ces belles photos.
Bonne semaine
Val
Amazing images!
Absolutely beautiful shots Bente. It ALMOST makes me want cold and snow again, but then, Not So Much.
Well done!
Honestly I’m stunned at such untold perfection ~it needs no words!
Beautiful photos, Bente. Wonderful light.
Just stunning.
Thanks for visiting, I’m a follower, now.
