This drone photo, taken during the golden hour, shows Henningsvær in Norway's Lofoten archipelago at its very best. The low sun illuminates the snow-covered rocks and mountain peaks with a warm glow, while the icy waters of the Norwegian Sea provide a deep blue counterpart. The picture offers an almost magical view of the vast island landscape, perfectly blending nature and ruggedness.
Henningsvær, also called the 'Venice of the North' is spread over several islets and can only really be grasped from the air. From above, you can see how this unique fishing village stretches across rock formations, connected by bridges and surrounded by mountain massifs. The background is dominated by imposing mountain peaks, which look even more majestic in the morning or evening light.

Hang this picture in a living room, office or bedroom and be transported daily to the heart of the Arctic wonderland.
