Favourite Images
A curated selection of favourite landscape, aurora and travel photography from Norway and beyond — chosen for light, atmosphere, composition and a strong sense of place.
The collection brings together selected favourites from Arctic Norway, the Alps, Tuscany, East Africa, the Indian Ocean, city scenes and quiet coastal landscapes.
Reine in the Lofoten Islands, Norway, with red fishing cabins, still fjord water and steep snow-covered peaks reflected in clear Arctic light.
A luminous blue iceberg floating in calm Arctic water near Svalbard, with layered ice, muted mountains and cold northern light creating a quiet polar atmosphere.
Northern Lights over Ringvassøya near Tromsø, Norway, with vivid green aurora curtains sweeping above a snow-covered Arctic landscape and bare winter trees.
Winter morning in Skarslia, Ål, Norway, with deep snow, frost-covered trees and a warm cabin window looking out across the quiet mountain landscape.
Nærøyfjorden in Western Norway, where steep green valley walls rise from the narrow fjord and calm water leads the eye through the quiet landscape.
Fedje on the west coast of Norway, with white houses, a church spire and harbour reflections under a heavy blue sky. The still water gives the small island community a quiet maritime mood.
Riffelsee and the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland, reflected in still alpine water as a hiker looks towards the peak from the lakeshore.
Podere Belvedere in Val d’Orcia, Tuscany, Italy, rising from rolling fields and cypress trees in soft morning mist and warm sunrise light.
Antelope Canyon in Arizona, USA, where narrow sandstone walls glow in reflected light and form flowing curves shaped by water and time.
Sunrise over Maasai Mara, Kenya, with a lone acacia silhouetted against an orange sky and hot-air balloons drifting across the distant savanna.
Male lion resting in the grass in Maasai Mara, Kenya, photographed at close range in soft evening light. The direct gaze and shallow background give the portrait a quiet, concentrated strength.
Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue, Seychelles, with turquoise water washing over white sand beneath sculpted granite boulders and tropical palms.
Belle Mare Beach in Mauritius, where a woman walks through clear shallow water between white sand, turquoise lagoon and the darker reef line beyond.
Sunset at Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie on La Digue, Seychelles, with palm silhouettes, granite rocks and a glowing tropical sky reflected in the calm water.
Sunset at Kanuhura in the Maldives, with a wooden jetty stretching across the lagoon towards warm evening light and soft tropical colour on the horizon.
Sunset at Napili Kai on Maui, Hawaii, with a woman standing at the water’s edge as warm light spreads across the Pacific horizon.
The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, USA, seen in black and white across the East River, with bridge lights leading towards the Manhattan skyline.
