Lappland Sky

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 10, 2013419 views13 comments

The picture was made in Swedish Lappland during my recent spring trip to Northern Scandinavia. A quiet morning without wind created a beautiful reflection in the lake. I was fascinated by the clouds over the mountains of the Sarek National Park. The panorama was made by stitching two images.

Looks like a high speed photo of an arrow penetrating something. A novel panorama, to be sure. I like this a lot!

Great capture. It looks like a spear with feathers. That reflection is really cool.

this is cool. it reminds of a scene in a sci-fi movie where a ship is plowing thru space and the clouds and reflection is some sort of plasma plume.

Chris,

I love the symmetry here and even more are the few boulders in the water to break up that symmetry. Sure, the story is about the clouds, reflection and the design that's created and captured here, but for me, those rocks add just enough tension. Well done!

I have had the chance to welcome you to NPN yet - so Welcome! We look forward to more images and your participation in the forums and galleries - which you're already doing! So thanks, and welcome.
