Cod is king in Lofoten. It's everywhere and not just hidden away on racks on a rock either. In the middle of towns the boats unload and fish is hung in the sub-zero air and the pristine winter landscape is imbued with the scent of oily cod.

There's something about it all that I really really love :)

When I first visited here over a decade ago this scene in Lofoten was empty. Nobody came in the winter, except for a few silly photographers like Bruce Percy, and then me.

With each year the doubled and doubled. By 2020 it was a traffic jam on the Hamnøy bridge, shoulder to shoulder tripods and elbows.

One of the great challenges with working in a moody duotone series is what happens when the sun comes out?

Because that's a very common thing in the Arctic winter, and a special thing. Standing knee deep in powder snow with the sun flooding into the fjord is just magic.

We drove over a hill and saw the coastline, partly illuminated and totally covered in powder snow. The sun is wrestling with the low cloud, and largely losing. More snow is drifting down.

For the next hour the sun came out lit up the shore and the ice. But it's the moody moment when we first arrived that I love.

This fjord in Senja is an absolute favourite of mine. Have seen it in all kinds of weather, but there are moments when a gentle bit of sunlight pops out between the clouds and brushes against the slopes.

I don't use a telephoto often, but they are quite useful every now and then. This shot about 100mm, with a slow shutter.

Adding to my Blue Norway thread today, with some heavy snow. I love when you can see the weather happening in front of you, when you watch the sky changing. One moment there is clouds out in the fjord, and the next moment they turn dark.

Look closely and you can see a ferry about to be enveloped by the clouds :)
