Lofoten "Hope" Mountain
This was taken in February of 2024 from my Lofoten Islands Norway photographic adventure. This mountain isn’t called “Hope” but I call it that, because the side facing the sun is so bathed in the early morning sunlight, that when I see such things, brightness and light, bathed in darkness and deep blue and magenta colors, it gives me hope. As do the small reflections from the buildings, where many are surrounded by the dark, but are shining through, showing exactly where hope is. Hope is best seen when we most need it…when we ourselves are in the dark! If you look really closely near the center of this image, just below the mountain, you will see the tiny people on the dock, bathed in the reflected light coming from the mountain. It is best seen by using the Flickr link and enlarging it on a computer screen to full view.
