Photographer’s Note
One can safely say that Dovrefjell is the most beautiful "autumn mountain" in Norway, with its colors, wildlife and a number of plant species. Dovrefjell-Sunndal Mountains National Park is both special and vulnerable. Here are the last virtually intact mountain ecosystems in Europe with both wild reindeer, musk ox, wolverines and mountain fox in the natural coexistence.
The mountain is also known for its diverse flora, where mogop (Pulsatilla vernalis) are among the most familiar plants. The central landmark in the national park is Snøhetta (in the background), 2286 meters above sea level.
Dovrefjell is the mountain area on highway E6 between Dombås and Oppdal.
Highest point on the road is 1,024 m above sea level, just north of Hjerkinn.
The red plant in the foreground is blueberry, sometimes it gets very red, but mostly it is more brown.
The green in the foreground is common juniper.
I was inspired by the tre (birch, Betula pubescens), the clouds,
and of course the colors.

Hi Sigmund,
This is simply beautiful. Incredible colours and wonderful light. Great composition - it would be only half as good without that tree which adds a dynamic element.
A note would have been nice though. You could write something about the location (for example: what are the plants we're seeing here? - the red ones on the ground look like blueberry bushes to me) or what inspired you to take this particular shot.
Okay, I take that back. I saw that you just added a note. ;o)
Best wishes
Claudia

Hi Sigmund,
The colours are really amazing, with a good management of light. It is a beautiful atmospheric shot with a great DOF. The inclusion of the tree is a fundamental element. Congratulations,
Catherine
