On my last night in Senja, I was gifted with an incredible cloud inversion. After two days of rain and zero visibility, Segla finally revealed itself. I arrived at midnight and waited until 3am for the sun to rise. With my tripod set up on the edge of a 500m cliff face, I ran into position to create a sense of scale as the fog began drifting. After 10 minutes, the fog had completely engulfed the peak. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and capture this moment.

On a road trip, we stopped so I could take pictures of an abandoned barn in a beautiful golden wheat field. There was a rubber boot covering one of the posts, so I asked my husband to remove it so I could get a better view of the barn.
