Bergen by night, a photo from Hordaland, South

Photographer's Note

It was a beautiful night early in october. I was driving around looking for a viewpoint to capture some night shots of Bergen. I came across this viewpoint at Skansemyren about 180 meters above sea level. Believe it or not, but this viewpoint is very low frequented, hardly not frequented at all.

Hi Erling,

Fantastic shot - I love the blueness of the water even as night falls; and the twinkling of all the lights. The sharpness is simple excellent to the smallest detail !

TFS,
May

Good evening Erling,
Fabulous thousands light-bulbs glittering over the Fjord and town.
High point location created an imposing view, stunning with great visibility and a fine details. Beautiful sky with the thin clouds.
Cheers for that beauty.

Hello Erling,
The sea looks like a inland waterway on this picture.
Don't know if the other side of the water is still Bergen ... In that case the city is very vast.
Wonderful night shot with beautiful colour constrasts between the illuminated buildings and the dark blue water in the center of the photo.
Best regards, Paul

Eccellente esposizione, anche i riflessi contribuiscono ad amplificare lo splendore delle luci.
Complimenti

Hello Erling,
it's hard to believe that this awesome viewpoint is not frequented by local people or visitors, the view you are presenting is absolutely enchanting. It's rich in details and interest, it looks so calm and soothing and at the same time the lights express a lively and vibrant mood. I appreciate very much the clarity and the depth you achieved as well as the fine colour balance. We can explore a great part of this area and enjoy the peace of the vantage point as well. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania
