18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Snowy hill and some hare footprints in Gausta

After meandering up the mountain road, leaving the dramatic valley of Rjukan below, the plateau unfolds with Gaustatoppen rising above. This Christmas, I was photographing from the early morning, impressed by the very long Scandinavian blue hour. I took this picture near Kvitåvatn lake.
