A powerful moment of nature unfolds in this photograph: a bright rainbow descends from a heavily overcast sky and touches the still water's surface with its full spectrum of colours. The rainbow seems to end exactly on a small, green island - an almost fairy-tale detail that stimulates the imagination. In the background, a gently rolling Norwegian landscape unfolds, full of deep green forest, open meadows and scattered white houses radiating tranquillity. Sunlight just breaks through the cloud cover and sets part of the hill in warm golden light, while the rest of the surroundings remain under a threatening sky.
The contrast between light and dark, calmness and strength, gives the picture an almost mystical atmosphere. The reflection of the rainbow in the water reinforces that sense of magic and connection between heaven and earth. This is an image that quietens - a moment of wonder and calm, captured in the vivid and rugged landscape of Norway.
