The sunset is not far from here in the north, nor the midnight sun, so we have more and more nights like this, coming.

These pictures were taken near Reinsnes in Sortland, Vesterålen, Northern Norway, 13 June 2014. It was a lovely evening, and the water was like a mirror, and reflected the clouds...

Afternoon, April 21, 2014
Some great big clouds were coming in over my home in Sortland in Vesterålen, Northern Norway. About half an hour later, a great rain came in.... Well, this is why we love to live up here: one hour sunshine, the next rain/snow... But the clouds of this kind are great to watch. Take a look...

We had a nice day, two days ago. These pictures were taken 80 meters behind my house, where I live in Hognfjorden, Sortland, Northern Norway. There was a calm sea in the fjord, and great sunshine over the mountains. This led to excellent reflections on the water.

Extreme Weather Kyrre ravaged northern Norway for several days, but by Sunday 16th March, it was all over. Benny Høynes, who lives in Sortland in Vesterålen, is an avid photographer. When Kyrre ravaged its worst, he dressed himself for the storm, and took the camera out.

After the storm, the nicer weather came and the sun was shining for several days. Take a look...
