Autumn On Reinebringen - a photo on Flickriver

Autumn On Reinebringen

I just got back from an early Autumn trip to Senja and Lofoten in Norway. This trip was a bit more challenging than usual as I caught some sort of virus, fought off a fever, drove back to the airport to pick up a bag that was left behind by Finnair, and then slipped on a rock and threw my back out. Oh…and it rained 13 out of the 14 days I was there, LOL.

In spite of the craziness, I had an amazing time shooting while I was there. On most days, I was lucky if the sun broke through at all, but toward the end of my trip, the sky finally opened up a bit and I was able to get some shots. On this particular morning, I had just driven through the night to Lofoten down from Senja. I arrived at 3:30 AM, got an hour of sleep, re-parked since the Reinebringen parking was closed, and set off in the dark while it was still raining at 4:30 AM. In spite of my stupid back, I grunted out all 1566 steps to reach the top before sunrise. Even in the blue hour, the view from up there is spectacular. The official sunrise came and went and I was a bit bummed until I remembered that in September, the angle of the sun can remain low much longer at sunrise and sunset as the midnight sun is still transitioning back as it moves to the South. Suddenly, without much warning, the sun burst through and lit up the ridge in front of me. I shot my butt off before slowly descending the 1566 steps back down.

My adventures from this trip will be up on youtube soon, so if you’d like to see more of what happened behind the scenes, please feel free to follow me at the link below. I’ve uploaded two more episodes since my last post which include chasing thunderstorms in the Canadian Rockies and the first half of my trip to Austria and the Dolomites.
