Finnmarks Coast VIII Photo

Photographer’s Note

Coast of Finnmark, Norway

The beautiful coast of Finnmark in mars. I like the deep and cold blue color balanced with the warm light of the sunrise.

The Finnmark is the northern state of continental Norway and is situated between 68.50° and 71° North. The main cities are Alta, Hammerfest and Kirkenes. This pictures shows its typical and beautiful coast with cliffs and low and quite flat mountains. The light was just incredible. It is ca. 7 am in the middle of Mars. The sun was just rising. Taken from the South bound Coastal Steamer between Honningsvåg and Havøysund. Honningsvåg, on the Magerøya Island is the northern city in Europe. On the right, you can see the mountain Bismerhallen, on Magerøya Island. The North cape 71°10 N, is situated on this island.

Salut Samuel! Wonderful, just wonderful, like a meditation for me! The blues are simply beautiful. I like the simplicity of the photo, the almost nothing, just sea, sky and the snowed-in mountains in between. It does not need more, it is complete. Fantastic! Enjoy your Dimanche, before going back to work :))) Barbara.

Salut Samuel,
Superbe photo avec une telle lumière dorée sur ces montagnes enneigées, le contraste avec l'eau et ce bleu foncé est magnifique, très belle capture ... et dire qu'en été ce sont ces memes montagnes qui apparaissent avec des tons bleutées ... ce périple le long des côtes norvégiennes est vraiment intéressant en toutes saisons ! Pour moi,d'excellents souvenirs mais en été.

Bonsoir Samuel. Superbe!!!! Quelle belle lumière dorée sur ces montagnes enneigées. Tu m'as convaincu! Il faut que j'y retourne encore une fois.
Amitiés
John
