Description The crystal clear azure waters of Lofoten's Fjords look absolutely stunning in the sunshine. Where there is shallow water and light sand beneath the colour is fantastic. We were blessed on our first few days with almost no wind to disturb the water making the conditions absolutely ideal for this kind of shot. The walk down to this location wasn't hugely challenging in a technical sense, but finding our way along the boulder strewn coast of the fjord took ages and we were eaten alive by midges. At one point we realised that it had taken us an hour to walk 200m! We actually met an old Norwegian man on the way down to the fjord who told us to go a different way because the route through the boulders was difficult. He wasn’t wrong but I never would have captured the image had I taken his advice!

What a lovely play of the different colors, along with textures and shapes.

(I wish my challenge of walking along a water's edge of boulders was as interesting with outstanding captivating views, but alas, it is
only our town trying to shore up the rivers edge so we don't lose ground... and the town : ) Still, on occasion there are gifts to capture.)

Beautiful work, Alex.

The water is just stunningly clear! I find it really great to see you posting some new shots, which aren't taken on mountain ridge and showing the vastness. This brings some new fresh air!

Thanks, I must admit that I am addicted to mountains but I also like to try to capture new scenes hence the general avoidance of lower level images of late!
