I had a bit of a week of silence. Work was just too much for sitting behind a screen in the evening as well.

I took this photo from the jetty below our campsite. We chose this campsite to visit the glaciers of the Jostedalbreen. But it never hurts to have already a beautiful view a short walk away from your tent.

We noticed that the sun was slowly dipping behind the mountains and decided to go down to the lake and enjoy the last rays of sun of that day. Obviously I do not go without a camera. Soon the light became perfect and an extended golden hour started. I noticed the boat already soon after our arrival but then it was still pointed toward the right. A few minutes later, the wind blew in around and it became the perfect subject for this composition.

Hoi Niek,
Ben net ff thuis om schone onderbroeken te halen, ze de PC aan kijk op TL en zie jou prachtige plaat. Wat eebn scherpte en helderheid! Helemaal top, hoewel ik de indruk heb dat de horizon niet helemaal recht loopt. Wat heb jij als referentie gebruikt? In iedergeval een fijne foto van een adembenemend uitzicht!

Beautiful composition of a beautiful landscape. Love the formation of the clouds. The water looks so cool and natural and i love that boat on the foreground.

Hi Niek,
You have waited just the right moment for this capture!
What a fine mood you rendered!
The composition with this boat reflecting on the shivering water is a good entry in the scene! Excellent depth and range of colors on the mountains.
Really, this would be a splendid place for vacation! Bravo! Annie

Terrific combination of water, land, and sky in a well-managed composition. The golden light is the special bonus that adds a pleasant warmth to the small boat and the surrounding scene. Great clarity and exposure. Well done.

Amazing color. Good light and bright, very good sharp. Original job.
best regards

;-) heerlijk dat prachtige licht en de compositie..
Gek he, maar eigenlijk kan een foto die in Noorwegen gemaakt is niet echt mislukken... althans dat idee heb ik altijd (er zijn natuurlijk mensen die ECHT geen foto's kunnen maken...).
Nee... deze is wel weer lekker!

That late evening light has produced some lovely colours Niek. An excellent POV, good colour and the detail impeccable even in the far distance,

Hi Niek, I like the calm ambiance which flows from this Norwegian composition. The muted colours and the balance between water, sky and green hills is appealing. TFS. Murray.

PS I found this when i was looking for similar lens to the one i am using now. Sigma 18-200 Zoom F3.5-6.3 DC

Hi Niek,

Heerlijk om met je mee te reizen door dit mooie land. Ik kan me nog herinneren dat ik met mijn zoon naar de Jostedalsbreen ben gewandeld - erg fris, maar toen we in de buurt van de gletscher kwamen en in de luwte van de ijswand werd het ineens erg aangenaam van temperatuur.
Goed, daar gaat het niet over nu - erg mooi dat licht - dat moet puur genieten zijn geweest daar op die jetty. Fijn hè, dat ze rood geverfd hout op hun huizen hebben, is precies wat het landschap nodig heeft.

TFS

Superb scene, I like the light and the compo--impressive sky, lonely boat, red houses contrasting with the green landscape.
