Honorable Mention
Nordic Splendor: Lofoten Islands
DESCRIPTION
Winter is magical in the Loften Islands, Norway. While this location is one of the most popular and iconic spots, I couldn't help but be in awe. I lined up on the bridge along with many other photographers. The winter light in Norway is amazing and sunrise brought a dash of color to make this morning special. I chose a long exposure to bring this dream like scene to life. The traditional fishing cabins and majestic Festhelltinden Mountain surround the harbor for a photo shoot to remember. The nordic splendor was on full display. AUTHOR
