Senja Day 2

We are staying in a little village on the coast, in the middle of nowhere, called Mefjord. It's surrounded by mountains, and to get to the next (or any other) beach, it is tunnels, tunnels, winding roads, more tunnels.  You often go into a tunnel experiencing one weather and come out to an entirely different one.
Oooh, just looked out of the window and we have a snow blizzard happening.  I wanted big fat flakes... but I've just washed my hair and got warm from this morning's shoot and can't be bothered venturing out again until I have to.
It was a 5.30am departure this morning. Sunrise shoot on Ersfjord beach. Back for breakfast and we have down time until 12 noon when we take off again.  Most days are a variation on that theme, although the breaks are getting slightly longer to compensate for earlier starts caused by earlier sunrise.
Did I mentioned that we are exactly 12 hours behind NZ?  That is nice & easy to remember but a little tricky in terms of catching up with family.
Another little factoid for you: the air is so dry here that it is difficult to drink sufficiently to stay hydrated as you don't feel like drinking cold water.  Your skin slurps up moisturizer as fast as you can apply it. I constantly put hand cream on while we are driving to stop the skin on my shutter & focus fingers from splitting.

This is us this morning, the one time I'm in a line with the others. Photo courtesy Susanne Kopp
