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.
Colors Drowning
Floating on water
The last light of the sunset
Colors Drowning
On a hike up the levee along the fjord where we live, the sun emerges from behind the clouds just before it sets. An enchanting display of winter colors, slowly drowning in the calm waters of the fjord.

Spring Sunset (4)
A fairly dense cloud cover seems to conclude the day without sunshine.
But then a clear, cloudless sky appears on the horizon. I run outside with my camera, moments like this usually only last about 10 minutes....

Serenade To The Night
The last light burns
the fading day in a serenade,
honoring the night

Shrouded (1)
I’m in love with light, I often say. Or am I in love with how the light is filtered, veiled or scattered?
Here on earth the light is always filtered by something. The atmosphere, clouds, a canopy, mist…
In fact, all these ‘filters’ make the sunlight much more visible, almost touchable…

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

Flood Of Light
Fields covered with a thin layer of snow. The world waits in stillness for the night to come.

Kiss The World Asleep
When the sun pierces through the cloud cover in winter, I have to take my chance. Too often the sun disappears behind a thick gray blanket immediately after briefly showing itself, only to show its face again the next day (or even a few days later).

Winter Sunset (3)
The sun sets behind the clouds, above a calm and cold North Sea...

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.

Evening Sky Lullaby
The waves sing softly
their lullaby on the shore,
the evening sky responds in colors
that die
when the night enfolds the sun.

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.

Burning Sunset (4)
In a burning sunset,
the last breath of the day
welcomes the night
A cold evening at the end of a heavily cloudy, gray winter day. Just before the sun sets, the clouds open up allowing the light for a brief but intense moment to say hello to the night.

Fragrant autumn grass
gently caressed
by the evening light
A sunset above the North Sea, seen through the high grass in a field close to our house.
