Lovely place Photo

Photographer’s Note

Small houses of the village of Kjerkfjorden, on the shore of Kjerkfjorden. Merraflestinden 484 moh in the background on the right and Helvetestinden 602 moh on the left. Helvete means hell (or something not far) in norwegian, so the peak of hell...I don't have any explanation for that :).
Kjerkfjorden is one of the 4 arms of the Reinefjorden, in Mosekenesøya, the southern island of Lofoten. The other arms are Bunesfjorden, Forsfjorden and Vorfjorden.

Bonjour Samuel,

Belle photo de ce paysage norvégien.
De bien belles couleurs avec un cadrage bien équilibré.
Les ombres des nuages sont bien agréable également.

Hello Samuel,

That surely is a lovely place!
I can understand that when the clouds hang low and you don't see the top of the peak, you might think it goes straight to hell there somewhere above the clouds. Well, if you are living in the 15th century. Nice one!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hello Samuel,

This is very eye-catching.
The bright red of the houses makes them a very good focal point. They contrast so well with the steep, towering, grey cliffs behind.

Lovely crisp images and nicely saturated colours. The simple frame complements it very well.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Samuel

Great shot of this seeminly remote village. I guess life would be peaceful there.
Great colours, the red houses make the scene special.

Bonjour Samuel,
Voici une vue typiquement norvegienne qui me plait evidemment beaucoup. Mais si en plus elle a ete prise aux Lofoten, alors la c'est la creme de la creme!
Le cadrage est extra et les couleurs bien prononcees, ce qui cree une belle carte postale.

Bonsoir Samuel,
Faut vraiment que j'aille en Norvège ! Ces montagnes ont des formes vraiment fascinantes et le cadrage vertical les rendent encore plus impressionnantes. J'aime également beaucoup les couleurs de la composition : du bleu, du vert et le rouge des maisons.
Amicalement,
Olivier

Samuel,
Wow, what a lovely place! The vertical composition is perfect here showing the height of the cliff and how small the houses are compared to it. The landscape is outstanding and you have presented it nicely. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The red houses stand out nicely against the background.
TFS,
Asa

Very interesting composition with very nice colors.
Why did you reduce the picture size by adding a big frame though?
I'd love to have more resolution on this picture ;)
thanks for the map info!!!
