Stetind Sunburst

Northern Norway

At the end of a miserable week of cloud and rain in Lofoten I took one of my workshop clients up Norway's National Mountain, Stetind. The weather look unpromising for the majority of the hike but as we approached cloud level we decided to hang around rather than go for the top. Soon sunrays burst beneath the cloud setting the falling snow alight. It was one of the most spectacular light shows I have witnessed.
