Life Close To The Arctic
At the request of Dina I create this post.
Most images are shown earlier.
The images are from many parts of Norway,
in different seasons.
Maybe they will entice you to a visit?
It’s unusual for me to to make a post with so many photos.
Please, be indulgent with me!

Reblogged this on The World according to Dina and commented:
Many of you are familiar with the fine work of the Norwegian Nikon Ambassador Hans H Bjørstad. And of course his impressive avatar in the water! 🙂 He has been blogging for a long time and I sort of feel sorry for all the older post about the natural beauty in Norway that are falling behind, more or less suppressed by the latest ones. I’m sure you’re all familiar with this feeling in retrospect of earlier work. On my request Hans is showing us what it is like to live close to the Arctic. Thank you very much Hans! Please give him a visit and enjoy his captures of the Norwegian landscape.

Hei Hans,
your photography is a compliment to the Norwegian nature. I am especially fond of the third one, enabling me look at Rondane like Sohlberg did. My second favourite is Raftssundet in Lofoten and I love all the impressions from Dovre. I have never been there, but our family ist strongly connected to Dovre so we hope to see it for ourselves one day. Your portrait on Norway is outstanding, Hans and I thank you so much for all your work and effort. Enjoy your weekend!

Absolutely gorgeous landscape – the reflections in the fjord are stunning. What a rugged land, though, probably not easy to live there….

So many pictures to comment on. They were all very impressive from the glorious sunsets, the foolhardy man sitting on the edge of a sheer rock face to beautiful snow capped hills or mountains.
september 16, 2013, kl. 06:31
Excellent compositions! I love those colors, splendid and beautiful scenery! I think it’s a nice collection!
september 16, 2013, kl. 07:42
These are really great. I like especially the first autumn pictures most. And every time I look on newer photos of Briksdalsbreen, I’m shocked how small the glacier got.
september 16, 2013, kl. 09:11

ho avuto la fortuna di visitare alcuni dei luoghi qui fotografati, ma non ho mai visto lassù aquile o tramonti così belli…fortunatamente li vedo nelle tue foto
I was lucky enough to visit some of the places here photographed, but I’ve never seen up there Eagles or so beautiful sunsets … Fortunately I see them in your photos
grazie mille
