Flakstadtinden
One of the many surprises that Mother Nature had in store for me on my birthday was witnessing this mesmerising cloud inversion taking place on Flakstadtinden, a 484 metres tall peak that overlooks Flakstad village and the surrounding beaches. This happens when a cold layer of air is trapped below a warm one, usually due to the difference in temperature between night and day.
I wanted to capture the uniqueness of the Norwegian archipelago with all its summer colours: the white, yellow and purple wildflowers, the white sandy beaches, the saturated red of the traditional fishing cabins, the blue and turquoise waters and the lush green mountains.

Part of my Lofoten: Arctic Flyway exhibition through which I am donating 25% of the proceeds to BirdLife Norway, a wildlife organisation dedicated to the conservation of birds in the archipelago. Lofoten is particularly important as a nesting ground because it facilitates easy access to food and very few natural predators, which makes the islands ideal to raise chicks. BirdLife works with different seabirds and migratory species that are affected by tourism, farming and climate change in order to preserve their numbers. They educate locals and visitors on best practices, wildlife behaviour and on finding solutions as a community.
