Beautiful. Landscape suits the name (Helvetestinden == Hell's Peak). Must be a tough climb to get there.

The glacial age carving of the landscape springs immediately to mind when you can observe the terrain like this.

Thank you, Bjørn.  :) Physical it is a rather easy mountain to climb. 602m high. (Should have been 666.. ;D) But if you are afraid of hights a diper might be handy..  ;) This is from a trip this winter. D3x 24mm pc-e.

great feel for space in the OP.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

I left my soul on Moskenesøy five years ago and I want to go back for it.
Been in the autumn, been in early spring.
Next time has to be in the summer, to the top of Hermansdaltind.

Thank you for making me dream.

Lofoten is really spectacular.
The first pano is really something to behold. Perfect conditions with the clouds and the silvery light.
