Description
"Reine from Above" - Lofoten, Norway
The aerial view from above of this idyllic place called Reine on the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway on a beautiful summer day. Here you see the arctic fishing village (at ~67°N) on the island Moskenesøya with its typical red rorbuers and rugged mountains like Olstinden (675m) and fjords like Reinefjorden (right) and Kjerkfjorden (left) in the background.

Yes, to see it for the first time is kind of surreal.

What an outstanding aerial photo! About how high was the drone what this was shot? What kind of drone do you use?
What an amazing vista! What time of day was this shot? I'm guessing either early morning or late afternoon.
I don't know if they have much of a tourism industry there, but it looks like an amazing place to visit. Nice little town.
I have a question about this part of the world:
On 25 Sept. 2010, The New York Times ran a story written by Thomas Zeller, Jr. entitled "Can We Build in a Brighter Shade of Green?" about Passive House design, which is said to be a popular energy-conservation technique in Europe. Link for article, with video: nyti.ms/2m5vU0J
The Zeller NYT article said that Passive House design uses extra-thick insulated walls, careful placement of triple-pane windows, and air-tight sealing to prevent drafts. This supposedly blocks heat loss and eliminates 90% of the home's heating costs. It's supposed to be possible to to actually use the heat of people inhabiting such a structure to maintain the desired temperature.
I asked about this because I have never been to Europe and I had no knowledge of Passive House Design prior to reading this article. Given the latitude of this photo, I was wondering about the use of this technique there.
Thank you for sharing.

Hello and thanks a lot for the comment!
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus was a little over 100 meter above sea level while capturing this image. I think it was created in the afternoon.
The Lofoten Islands became pretty famous in the last decade. Especially among landscape photographers. Tourism is growing there.
Regarding the northern architecture... on these islands most of the houses are rather old, I think (wooden houses and rorbuer huts). But in the cities of Scandinavia the architecture is pretty modern and will sure use passive house design. (Btw, I know it's partly used in Germany too)
Best, Dave

Oooh! I like how detailed this is! However, without the shadows, it kind of reminded me of something from google map. It’s still great work though!
