Evening Falls
Waves arrive in silence
light shatters into darkness
the night opens her eyes
The enormous diversity of colors of sunrises and sunsets and the completely different atmospheres they create, fascinate me.
The sunsets over the North Sea and the coastal area of western North Jutland, especially in autumn and winter, are famous for their magical Nordic color palette: a fascinating monologue of the sun from the first to the last second.
But also in many other locations and in other seasons, I have photographed sunrise and sunset to express the emotion they evoked in me.

Autumn Sunset (2)
Autumn is generally a gray, rainy season here in North Jutland. More gray than winter, at least if there is a real winter. Still, fascinating sunsets can be seen regularly, when the low-lying sun dispels the clouds over the sea and gives a final nod to the day.

Fade Into The Night
Under light-clouded skies of winter,
The cold sea is silent.
After sundown,
the northern winds are gone.
Bright colors fade into the night
The day closes his eyes

Nordic Sunset (5)
A very cold winter afternoon, the sun almost sets. It is a bit cloudy, but the horizon is clear. And clouds that veil the setting sun, provide the most beautiful colors when the sun goes down. A typical color palette for a Nordic sunset.

Goodnight Kisses
A sigh is heard over still waters,
when the sun kisses the earth
at the beginning of a quiet night

Summer Sunset (4)
Summers on the west coast of Denmark are not summers of many days with clear blue skies. The westerly winds bring clouds almost daily, often at the end of the day as well. And that makes for spectacular colors from a never-to-be-predicted palette...

Summer Sunset (6)
It never ceases to amaze me: every sunset has a different color palette. From vivid and bold, to fragile and pastel...

Burning Sunset (3)
In a burning sunset,
the last breath of the day
welcomes the night

Nordic Sunset (2)
It is cold, the sky is clear and the meadows are frozen. The ideal conditions under which a Nordic sunset shows itself in all its splendor.

Submerged
A beautiful autumn evening, enjoying a sunset over the sea and looking at the surf, it's as if the foam of the breaking waves brings the colors to land, where they then submerge in the cool, wet sand.

Fading Day
Wavy fields in sundown -
Colorful dreams of the fading day
flowing over the horizon

Birth Of The Night
In the fire of the sunset,
the day dies
for the night to be born

Poem For The Night
The dying sun
colors the sky with a poem
to welcome the night
A quiet winter evening in a swampy area. The sun sets behind the trees and colors the sky as if it was on fire. A poem to welcome the night.

A Balmy Summer Night
A balmy breathing
Tender colors descend
over the evening
A lovely, warm summer evening. The sun is down, a soft breathing brings down delicate colors on the sea.

Beyond A Dream
When I use relatively fast movements to photograph a sunset with a rich color palette and a wide variety in brightness, my camera often struggles to keep up with me and come up with a good image every time. And that results in a large number of failed photos.
But then, what is good, what is failure... ;)
Beyond a dream...

Winter Sunset (8)
This evening
the last light is warming
lonely hearts
Sometimes the colors of a sunset are so intense that you never forget that evening and it warms you inside, no matter how cold it is outside. This sunset over the Limfjord is one in that category.

The Evening Arrives In A Whisper
In the waning sunlight
The fragrance of the sea
and an evening whispers
At the end of a cold and bright winter day, the silence in this marshy nature reserve is enhanced by the gentle murmur of the surf, just behind the dunes.
The evening arrives in a whisper....
