I couldn't resist to post one more picture of the same place as the previous one and also from the same pov. The perspective and the view is a bit different because of the disappeared fog.
I stayed awake all the night because amazed by the wonderful arctic night. The colours changed almost every hour, from the golden yellow to this nice pink.
No pp was made here apart slight noise removing, due to the scanning.
Hope You like it!

Simply beautiful. Good POV, interesting framing, i love the layered composition and amazing arctic light, like in dreams.
TFS, Ioana

Olá Attila, I can understand why you couldn't resist to upload this one, right after your previous one. It's a pleasure for me to observe this amazing view once more, with a diferent tonal range of colors - this time is pink. What will be the next color? :))))
Friendly regards,
Ricardo

Hi Attila,
What a great composition, and the lighting is spectacular. It looks like the coloured houses are floating on the icey waters. Overall a striking image....staying awake was worth it.
Cheers Grant

fascinating...i find te being a great site allowing me to see things which i would not even imagine...this is a spectacular view, to see such thing in the morning at 1am is quite an experience

Hi Attila,
Very atmospheric scene, full of frozen beauty. You are real globtrotter. I like the light especially its reflection in the water. Interesting, scandinavian style of architecture.

Bonjour Attila
Ce genre de paysage m'attire toujours. C'est trčs bien présenté avec des petites maisons en bois de toutes les couleurs. La position de prise de vue en hauteur nous permet de découvrir en arričre l'eau avec tous ces blocs de glace.
C'est superbe - merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi, my friend!
Very nice photo. I like your composition. Specialy I like architecture and rufs. Nice cold colours. Good light and good idea.
Marek

Hi Attila,
I like this one much better then the daylight version. The colors are beautiful here, especially the pink sky and its reflections to the water.
I've had the pleasure of seeing the midnight sun in northern Sweden (see 2 am near Kiruna in my gallery) but this light is much softer.
Well done!
Harko

Hai fatto bene Attila, questa versione completa la vista della precedente, ottima la luce riflessa sull'acqua e sempre fantastici i blocchi ghiaccio nell'acqua, molto bella, non saprei scegliere tra le due, complimenti.
Ciao

super cette heure de nuit et de jour l'effet est top, les morceaux de glace donne un coté un peu irréel, beau travail de scan

Szia Attila,
Between both I prefer the other one for the diversity of colors on the house and the clarity, but this one at the very early (or late) pink hour shows a different atmosphere and is very nice to see too.
Have a nice day,

Hi Attila,

It’s absolutely good idea adding whole shore with new post and this one is really different from your earlier post. I like wonderful colored houses but here… The reflection at 01:00 AM! It must be polar lights that available at this time. Reflections of dark mountains on spectacular colored surface with ice blocks are magnificent. Congratulations.

Hi Attila,
What an amazing spot; I can see how difficult it would be to fall asleep when this scene unfolded. Here the incredible pink light is reflected on the sea and the image is almost surreal. The exposure level seems just right with good clarity of detail on all of the buildings. Your scan retained most of the quality here. Well captured.

Hi Attila,
I have heard so much of the Arctic light during summers, Thanks for showing me what it finally looks like. One of the finest POVs one can imagine with the bright coloured houses and the floating icebergs. Not only a good photo but a great education as well.

Hi Attila,
A gorgeous image, as the previous one, but without fog and with the mountains in background that give a good depth to the picture.
The landscape is very agreeable and beautiful, the colors of the houses compose a great color and the pink tones of the sky and the water are fantastic.
A very nice shot, and scanned very well, also.

Hi Atilla,

Again a wonderful picture almost the same at your other picture but, I looked and looked at it again to get whether this is a real or a toy town. Incredible to read that this is real! Wonderful colours and an exactly effective POV. It is a perfect decision to get the sea into the frame, with its arctic formations floating. Excellent sharpness and arrangement of contrast. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice week,

Hello Attila.
Man, those are incredible colors...what type of film were you using? I like the POV...the vantage point is great to capture the heart of this small village. It looks as though I could sit on that same hill from which you took this shot, and rest all day long. The exposure is fantastic here, the shot is glowing.

Hi Attila. Wonderful shot. I know exactly how you must have felt studying this view changing hour by hour, it's just fantastic. The low light underlines the fine colors of the wooden houses that are placed like totally out of order. The pitoresque town is a great foreground to the silent scenary of nature with ice and water and mountains. All in all it's a really good composition. I'm not so sure about the framing, maybe an all simple black frame? Anyways, beautiful photo. TFS amd greetings Jens :-)

The light of the photo is great and creates a very calm atmosphere.

Ez a mesés fotó kimaradt Nekem, de most boldogan pótolom. A látvány leginkább egy távoli, békés és meseszerű vidékhez hasonló, ahol az ember nyugodtan és boldogan éldegélhet. Fantasztikus hangulata van a képnek, nagyon tetszik.

Hi Attila

The artic light is amazing. So soft and warm. The housee providesome great color and the ice in the bg really makes the image. Great capture from this little village. A place I would love to visit. A beatufiul scene you have set here.

Absolutely splendid ! Not tempted to go to colder climates, but was always wondering about the "midnight sun", and this photo is very inspiring.

Hi Attila,

Impressive place, with this composition we can understand better the place where this city is located, is interesting to observe the contrast of the houses with the landscape frozen of background, good illumination and colours impressive. Good work and thanks to share.

this shot has really fancied me. the color of the sky appears just as the same on the water , which is a very rare possibility. also the typical danish housing is shown . what you did best was to keep half of the image by land and other remaining part with water

Szia Attila!
Jó gondolat volt párban megmutatni a képet. Csuda, hogy egy napon belül mennyire más tud lenni ugyanaz a hely, persze továbbra is marad meseszerű. Egészen másnak látszik például a jég a rózsaszín vízen (olyan, mintha véletlenül szórta volna oda valaki), mint a másik képen, ahol a ködös tenger természetes kelléke. Jó látni mindkettőt, tágítja a képzeletet.
Gratulálok!
