The lake “Kvennsetvatnet” is located on a mountain plain between the Eresfjord and the Sunndalsfjord, at an altitude of 627 m. On a mountain hike to “Blåfjellet” I passed this lake around 11.00. No wind, not a single sound could be heard. The lake lay still in front of me and invited me to take a little break. At a beautiful spot by the lake, I pulled the camera out of my pocket to capture this moment…
Aperture f/13, exposure 1/40, ISO 50, focal length 17 mm, polarizing filter
I made a black and white picture out of this photo because the colors were completely unimportant at that moment. The stillness and the vastness of the landscape is better shown in black and white in this shot, I would say.

28 Jul 2022There are few places in this world where you can see such images, total tranquility, far away from humanity and in the middle of a wild and untouched nature. Beautiful photo Dirk.

29 Jul 2022Thanks for your comment. I was also very touched by the tranquility of the lake. That’s exactly why I took the picture there at that moment.
Stella, oh, Stella
29 Jul 2022These lakes in Norway have something of Avalon, I find. We were one year up on the højfjellet near Hemsedalen where there was such a lake, not as big as “yours” though. The scene became completely mystic when there was rising fog from the water.

29 Jul 2022That’s right, there are such lakes all over Norway. I’ve never been to Hemsedal. I should go there 🙂

29 Jul 2022It is very touristy in winter, skiing … we were there in October and were lucky to have a warm two weeks. But, of course, one can take so wonderful trips.
