Have a wonderful sunday everybody.

Today I'd like to show you this impressive shot of the North Cape - right at Midsummer made at the stroke of midnight.
Unbeleavable that it will not be dark in these days - you even can see a part of blue sky.

North Cape is a cape on the island of Magerøya in northern Norway, in the community of Nordkapp. Its 307 m high at the northernmost point of Europe, located at 71°10′21″N, 25°47′40″E.

I hope you enjoy looking,
thanks for any words, bye.

Such a nice mood. Beautiful composition with crisp details. Golden hue of solar rays and its reflexion on the clouds is interesting.

Thanks for sharing a nice motif.

Incredible photo.
Superb view.

I would love to visit places like that.
And take some great photos like this one.


Well done.

Very beautifully captured, Sabine. The light & golden colours are absolutely amazing with a very interesting V in the sky formed by the clouds still showing some blue in the sky. I am wondering though if the two silhouette of the people should have been decentered a bit...just a thought. Well done!

Outstanding is the first word that comes to mind. Dramatic sky, exceptionally sharp silhouettes and beautiful golden hues. I think the strong, sharp silhouettes anchor the image very well. Goes straight to my favourites.

Hi Sabine,


Visual, excellent beautiful shot
I am amazed with such beauty
the colors are terrible, passionate am
for this landscape.
Congratulations

Amazing sky offset by the foreground details to create a special feeling of openess and space, a contrast to the people surrounded by the railing and the structure on the right of the frame. Very interesting.

Unbelievable.. what a wonderfull photo! The top-shot of TL this week! Compliments compliments dear Sabine!

Hi Sabine,

You are one of my greatest fans!
I feel guilty not giving you more feedback.

This is a supershot! Wow that hole in the sky and the globe and also the couple standing there. It is a masterpiece.
I make it my favourite.

Thanks,

Hendrik

My God! Natural!? Unbelievable! The sky is so strong and we have the chance to have a couple and that globe to increase the mood! And with powerfull sharp!

WOW!!! This is an amazing photo! Thank you for sharing.

What an absolutely sublime picture! Colours are fantastic and composition, with inclusion of the globe is truely excellent. I don't think I can add any more superlatives which others haven't already used.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Sabine,
Nothing to add to the comments already written regarding this breathtaking picture. It's made of Gold. Congratulations!
Hans

Sorry no more :) for today but...I'll be back!

This is fascinating. Can't believe it is at midnight. Amazing colours and I love the smooth water. The silhouettes add interesting detail.

Thanks for the critique on the purple art gallery. The Cape Dutch houses are normally just white with tatch roofs. The purple one is definitely a modern version.

Hi WishnuGaruda!
It's alwais been a dream of mine to see those white nights (as russians call them), or sunny nights... But right at this time of year my family prefers the sunny days days in Greece or in Turkey and I have to obey...
Thanks to your presence on TL I can get a glimpse of that fantastic fenomena. TFS!

Hello Sabine !
Always impressive for us people living ''South'' to see the Midnight sun.
The sky is superb. Not threatening, just magnificent!

I am not surprised to see already 7 members choose yours as a favorite (*_*). Good job!

I love this globe on the cape. I guess you have some sort of Dot on the globe showing exactly the location of the cape?

Cheers!

Wonderful Nordic sunset. I like the symmetry of the 2 circular shapes & the tiny silhouettes of the people. Sorry about the maglev accident.

Oh wow, this is absolutely captivating. I'm left speechless.

Wow Sabine! Ich bin sprachlos. In diesem Bild stecken nicht nur wunderschöne Farben, sondern auch wahnsinnig viele Gefühle und Eindrücke. Das Gefühl, dass es dort für eine lange Zeit nur noch dunkel sein wird, ist äußerst beklemmend und unverständlich, wo das doch eine so schöne Landschaft im Norden sein kann.
Vielen Dank,

Wonderful light and oppressive clouds. I have seen this place. I went one year in February and we had blizzards every day (which I loved). The angle of the light was so different to what I am used to and this has been captured in your photo. A real golden moment and well composed.

In spite of all the light in the middle, you managed to have the clouds well-toned and the objects below well projected.
Including mine: points are well deserved.

Perfect details, and wonderful compo, especially I like the black silhouette of the globe on the golden BG. and the cyan sky among all that yellow tones.
Congrats
