Himmeltinden
The highest mountain in Vestvågøy rises at 962 metres above the sea level. It consists of different peaks, with the highest one being off limits to civilians, as it is being used by the army. They have even built an elevator inside the mountain, in order to better reach the radar on top.
What caught my eye when I found this composition was the contrast between the calm of the fjord below and the drama of the sunlit granite mountain, while its peaks were covered in shadows by the gathering storm clouds above.

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.
