This picture was taken in the very last light of the day at Skaksanden Beach in the Lofoten Islands. Because it was already quite dark when the picture was taken, a long exposure time was necessary, which makes the water appear picturesquely soft and silky. The picture therefore looks very harmonious and radiates a fascinating calm. At the same time, the striking rocks in the foreground, as well as the mountains in the background, also make an effective visual appearance. The light-coloured, snow-covered mountains contrast wonderfully with the blue of the late hour.
The picture makes do with few colours, making it atmospheric, but also timeless and elegant.
At the Neutral Density Awards 2023, an international photo competition, the image was included in the Winners Gallery and awarded an Honourable Mention!

Photography is more than a mere reproduction of reality. My pictures tell stories,  create moods.
