Some Inspiration

Life can be brutal at times. Many moose walk across the frozen fjords and lakes in the winter but unfortunately sometimes the ice isn’t strong enough to take the weight. It’s a lucky animal to get out alive from these situations unless
Spot the baby orca 👀
Moose loose aboot this hoose. Anyone remember that weird Maynards wine gums advert from the 90s ? • #elg #elk #moose #lofoten #norway
Some days the wildlife comes to you 😀. This guy decided to come sit in the tree outside the house and lucky I had the camera to hand. There are benefits of living out in the sticks. #eagle #wildlife #lofoten #norway
Contrast. A shot from my recent aurora camping trip. This was on the way up and the light was beaming through gaps in the cloud before it cleared for a perfect sky.
Still blown away by the colours from that night! ‘That G3-G4 night’. I think I will have to get some prints done of these ones. Also lucky for @3dtimmy to be here when this happened and make for a good model 😛 • #aurora #lofoten #no
Snow and wind backlit. The snow is light as a feather and the temperature cold, when the wind blows it becomes a sparkling dance ✨
@marisolivers being the scale. Love this peak so much. It has the classic pointy mountain top and the added benefit of being not far/long to get to.
@gordon_schckr sunset kite sess from a couple of days ago • #kite #snowkiting #norway #lofoten
The heroes of the road keeping everyone in action when the snow is coming. #snowplow #norway #lofoten #roads
One of those nights I accidentally capture a rocket launch 🚀 😀
Can you spot our tracks from today? • #lofoten #winter
