Lysefjord was carved by the action of glaciers in the ice ages and was flooded by the sea when the glaciers retreated; in some places the water is as deep as the mountains are high
LYSEFJORD, NORWAY
Golden moment
I spent a month travelling with my wife in our van through Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The photo was taken in Lysebotn, a small and beautiful village at the end of Lysefjord in Norway. We arrived at noon and walked around, almost alone, discovering the place. I love the golden hour – it’s my favourite moment of the day – so we decided to sit and watch the sun slowly disappear in the background, dyeing the fjord many different colours. The silence was interrupted only by seals in the water. Suddenly, a solitary kayak began to cross the fjord in front of us. I quickly picked up my camera to capture this scene.
