While waiting for night to fall and hopeful display of the Northern lights, we were treated to typical "4 seasons in 1 day" Norwegian weather; with a beam of light piercing the gloomy cloud cover to light up this small chapel.

A marvelous sighting Sinuhe. Like the composition and the splash of light. The large view is lovely although I am not sure which version I prefer as both have their strengths....

Thanks Dave, I was in a quandary as well regarding monochrome or colour...as you said, both have their merits.

I definitely prefer the colour version, Sinuhe it brings out much more from the scene - I find the monochrome version much too dark and 'flat' for my tastes. Maybe I'm just a dinosaur

I really like the color version- so much more detail and contrast evident. Nice shot of that special moment of light!
