Exploring London: A Photographer’s Journey at Dawn
I have had the pleasure of visiting London on many occasions throughout the years, but never before have I taken the time, or had the opportunity, to photograph this magnificent city. This summer changed that. As usual for summer-trips, this was part of the annual family-vacation. We had planned to stay in London for one…

Photographing Denmark’s Jutland: A Scenic Adventure
I visited Jutland in Denmark for photography back in April 2015. Although this area lacks the spectacular mountain-ranges and waterfalls, it still has a lot to offer the landscape photographer. Just have a look at the YouTube videos from Mads Peter Iversen. I have planned to return ever since, and this summer the plans came…

My favorite images of 2024
At the start of this year, I promised myself that I would do everything to make 2024 the best year for my photography so far. Now, at the end of the year, it’s time to wrap things up and evaluate. Did I succeed? Nah, I don’t know if I captured my best images ever, but…

Photographing Romsdalen in autumn. Misty Birches edition.
After four great days in Rondane, I decided to spend the last 2-3 available days further west. Romsdalen is mostly known for it’s mountains and waterfalls, but the forecast was grim with low clouds and rain. Not perfect conditions for mountainscapes. To my surprise, upon arrival in Åndalsnes in the afternoon, the weather was quite…

Photographing Rondane, Norway. My annual photo-tour, 2024-edition.
Last year I made a post celebrating the 10-year anniversary of my annual mid-september visit to Rondane National Park. Fall-colors usually peak in mid-september, and it is always a pleasure to photograph colorful mountain-birches with snow-covered peaks as a backdrop. This year I might have been a week too late, as peak colors definitely was…

Photographing the Algarve coastline
Algarve in Portugal arguably has one of the most beautiful and photogenic coastlines in the world. The dramatic warm-colored cliffs, in all different shapes and forms, give unlimited possibilities for seascape-photography. Algarve has been on my bucket-list for quite a few years, and was this years destination for our family’s summer-vacation. We chose to stay…

Photographing spring in Tuscany
I have always loved to photographed pastoral, cultural landscapes. Old barns, winding roads and fields of flowers have a strong visual appeal to me, and bring feelings of times long gone. No wonder then, that Tuscany is one of my favorite areas to photograph. I have been fortunate to visit several times for photography and…

Netherlands, November 2023.
Netherlands has so much to offer the landscape-photographer. Although a small country, with no mountains and no waterfalls, both the coastline and the forests are world-class. Granted, I have a soft spot for beech-forests, but if that what you are after, Netherlands comes second to none. I recently returned from my 4th visit since 2018.…

Rondane, Norway. Annual September trip, 2023
Every year, for the last ten years, I have visited Rondane National Park for fall colors. Foliage usually peaks around september 15-20th, but there’s a slight variation from year to year, and if you’re unlucky and get an early autumn storm, everything might be gone before peak colors are reached. Mid-september may sound early for…

Northern Norway – summer of 2023
Well, summer is definitely over here in central Norway. Mornings are chilly and damp and evenings come noticeably earlier for every day. I haven’t been very active on this blog for the last couple of months due to summer holidays and different projects. But I have had time for some landscape photography in between. A…

Romsdalen – June trip 2023
Every year I try to pay a visit to Romsdalen in june. The higher altitude roads are open and the rivers and waterfalls are raging. And the main tourist season is yet to begin. Mid-june is a great time to visit. This year, we had scouted out a few new areas to visit in addition…

Clearing summer storm, Geiranger
This is an iconic viewpoint on the road down to Geiranger in Norway. I have passed here many times, always stunned by the view. The steep mountains are impressive enough, but the small turf-houses really make the scene for me. They add a sense of timeless romance and nurture thoughts around how life could be…

Dress up for winter
It’s the time of year when everyone are heading for the Lofoten islands, Northern Sweden or Finland or somewhere else in the arctic to photograph winter-wonderland. The light this time of year can be pretty spectacular, so you are surely in for a treat. This is no rocket-science, and my points may seem obvious to…

Fresh dusting
This image is 10 years old these days! It was captured in early March 2013. It was snowing quite heavy as I drove out to Unstad beach that morning, but as daylight emerged I got a small window to capture the fresh dusting of snow on the sandy shore. Conditions can be quite harsh here…

Overlooked. Revisiting Venezia.
I have visited Venezia three times for photography so far. It is definitely a favorite of mine. The absence of cars, the canals, the gondolas and the rustic buildings and classic architecture all contributes to a timeless character and strong sense of place. As I have just started to plan a new visit, I was…

Mosquitoland
I don’t know if you have ever been to North-Norway, or even are planning a trip there. But in case you are, you should know this: Visiting during the summer months involves a very high risk of being in constant war with the fierce creatures somewhat erroneously called mosquitoes. We are not talking about the…

Behind the scenes – Bavaria
I had planned an autumn-trip to Bavaria and the German Alps since early summer. Besides the magnificent mountains in the area, I also wanted to capture some archetypical countryside and cultural landscapes. I could probably just as well have gone to Austria, Switzerland or the Italian Alps, but Munich turned out to be easiest to…
