This is Norwegian landscape photographer Haakon Nygard‘s playground, so to speak. Nygard spends much of his time hiking the natural areas of the region and photographing scenes like this. He uses photography to portray his love of nature and has turned some of the beautiful views into brilliant, awe-inspiring photos.
