and there was light..

and God said, "Let there be light," and there was light..
God saw that the light was good,
and He separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light "day,"
and the darkness he called "night."
and there was evening,
and there was morning.. the first day.

there is always light.. in the summer.. at lofoten islands!!
the same ancient light.. eternal as the world is..

Hello Marco,
Thos photo is simply superb. The fog between the mountains is very well captured and gives it a very special and magic atmosphere. It's very well composed and with astonishing colours.
The seagul flying to the left is a pearl in this peace of jewelery. Congrats, mb

Ciao Marco,
Amazing sunset and beautiful colors, great composition and place, the bird and the mountain silhouettes are wanderful on a misty background, I like the light and the presentation..
Très jolie photo.

Ciao, cinzia

Hi Marco,

The beauty of light shining on the mountains and the sky is absolutely breathtaking! The silhouette of the sharp mountain peak contrast with the softness of the clouds. One has to be at the ultimate peace when viewing such a scene as this! Even the bird graciously appears to bring tranquility.

Wonderful!! Lisa

Hi Marco,
A great misterious view, very well captured. The mist in the distance creates a intrigue mood. The soaring gulls are a fine detail in this picture.Perefct brightness and contrast. Really an interesting posting.

Grazie mi amico!

"There was no time for pain
No energy for anger
The sightlessness of hatred
slips away
Walking through winter streets
alone
He stops and takes a breath
With confidence and self-
control

I look at the world and see no
understanding
I'm waiting to find some sense
of strength
I'm begging you from the
bottom of my heart to show
me understanding

I need to live life
Like some people never will
So find me kindness
Find me beauty
Find me truth
When temptation brings me to
my knees
And I lay here drained of
strength
Show me kindness
Show me beauty
Show me truth

The way your heart sounds
makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure
the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats
makes all the difference
In learning to live
Here before me is my soul
I'm learning to live
I won't give up
Till I've no more to give

Listening to the city
Whispering its violence
I set out watching from above
The 90s bring new questions
New solutions to be found
I fell in love to be let down

Once again we dance in the
crowd
At times a step away
From a common fear that's all
spread out
It won't listen to what you say
Once you're touched you stand
alone
To face the bitter fight
Once I reached for love
And now I reach for life

Another chance to lift my life
Free the sensation in my heart
To ride the wings of dreams
into changing horizons
It brings inner peace within my
mind,
As I'm lifted from where I've
spilled my life
I hear an innocent voice
I hear kindness, beauty and
truth

The way your heart sounds
makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure
the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats
makes all the difference
In learning to live
Spread before you is your soul
So forever hold the dreams
within our hearts
Through nature's inflexible
grace
I'm learning to live"

Without the woodworks on the right, it would have been a perfect shot, Marco. Now it's just a darn good one ☺^☺. The scenery is terrific, the light is magnificent and the gulls are the finishing touch.

I'm not really fond of the text you added, especially not since it's partly out of the frame.

But all in all a very pleasing shot.

Hi Marco,
a nice landscape in Norway too.
mystic and mysterious light effect fits northern air of mountains and sea indeed.
but in my feeling, this image is too clear...a little more blurred effect may enhance this spiritual scene, or the fog may make more impressive this light.
anyway you look enjoying splendid views in Norway, it is wonderful!

Hi Marco,
Magnificent landscape! If God has created the light, YOU managed it so beautifully! I adore this backlit and the thin ray being profiled between the rocks. The bird is an symbolic addition!
Bravo for the image and note! Annie

Hello Marco,
I have not been to Norway but I spent a summer in the Yukon in Northern Canada one year. The sun never set-it would dip at around midnight and come back up again. Norway and Northern Canada share similar latitudes.The light here has that exquisite quality that is only present in the northern latitudes , and magnificently captured by yourself. It is perfection.

Marco,
Your pictures are spectacular! And you always manage to describe them perfectly in your notes. What's beautiful about this one is that there is actually only a hint of light coming through - I'm assuming it was sunrise? This is a perfect point of view and very nice contrast between dark and light. Well done.
