Ok folks... this one is specially for Ben, who wanted to see some more cloud and dark weather.
Well... here it is Ben... as promised.

This image was taken on our way to Reine i Lofoten.
The day was dark and the wind was so strong that most drivers didn't dare pass this bridge... in fact it was closed for traffic! We had to wait for the traffic lights to turn green so that one car at the time could pass. I must say that this was not one of my favorite moments in our SUMMER vacation!
Heck.. I couldn't even keep the camera still and if you take a look at the original you will see that it's not only tilted, but there are multiple raindrops on the lens!
From the whole series of pics I took this is the only sharp one...

Anyways... I rotated this one till it was up right again and I added just a tad of "blacks" in here.

Hope you like this summer vacation picture ;-)
Cheers,
Anneke

Hoi An,
To catch the bad weather is always a challenge. You give it a good try here, but there are some snags in it. First at all it appears to me the picture is slightly tilted clockwise (despite the original was tilted counter clockwise), look at the water level in the distance. Secondly, particular the foreground looks to suffer of motion blur. Nonetheless you show here the raging weather of Norway, that's for sure.

Yes Anneke! A real bad storm! I can see the white caps! Nice shot, even though it's a dark and dreary day! Lots of drama in this shot!

Lekker hé zo'n buitje in je vakantie.Ik vind hier de sfeer erg goed weergegeven.Enigszins onherbergzaam door de auto's in de verte.Dit maak je toch maar mee. En je kunt met je foto's de sfeer laten proeven.

Groet Ben

Hi Anneke !
Uitzonderlijke prestatie.
Contrast, kleur, licht, uitstekend!
Een uitstekende landschap.
Een mooie dag,
Adrian

ciao An

I've been in Reine on June 2005 and I've got a memories of a sunshine bay and montains with snowed peaks near the see.
You've catched an inusual view of Lofoten often portaied on fair weather.

Very dramatics shot and intriguing atmosphere of light and shadows.

Hi Anneke,
Well, I wouldn't want to be out in it for long. i think you captured the feel of it quite well.
Technical perfection, perhaps not, but a very effective image that, I'm betting lost a bit in the resizing for here.
Thanks,
Wilt

dear Anneke,
a nice picture of stormy view.
it is really one severe face of the nature, maybe darkness is more impressive than lighted world.
the state of cloud is very interesting and the wave on the sea is artistic. the lights of cars look lovely in this condition.
whole wild atmosphere is actually photogenic.
thank you,
Akihisa
