Trollstigen Awaits

I am away for a week and this is a photo from Norway from August 2015 with my commentary "hot off the press" that I posted on the evening from out hotel. I have not posted this previously on Am3 so here it goes.

Late night in a hotel in Alesund. Sipping whisky after another day full of amazing Norwegian city and landscape scenery - does it get any better than that?! Together with my partner Paulina we went to the Runde Island in search of Puffins that were late in leaving for the Winter season. No luck with that but who cares when scenery like this is waiting for us on every corner of the of the road we travel. This is the approach towards the famous Trollstigen Road coming from Geiranger in Norway. Simply breathtaking!

Captivating B&W, it leads the eye all the way down the road and up the dramatic clouds.:))

Amazing photo! It's a great b&w photo, just the way I like them: strong and contrasted.
And a smart composition, leading the eye "inside" the image.
