Grey, brown, red, almost black. Some are smooth and rounded; others are rough and crossed by fine lines.<br \/>\nThey are part of an ancient glacial moraine, traces of a landscape shaped by ice.<\/p>\n<p>Standing there, knowing this changes the way I look. Suddenly I no longer see a collection of stones. I see time.<br \/>\nTime on a scale that is hard to comprehend.<\/p>\n<p>Photographically, a stony beach like this is challenging. Shapes, colours and textures are everywhere. The image can quickly become cluttered.<br \/>\nAnd that is precisely what draws me to it.<\/p>\n<p>I look for order within this natural chaos. For repetition, small interruptions and lines the eye can follow.<\/p>\n<p>In this photograph, the stones lead me slowly from the foreground towards the sea. Above them, a heavy sky lends the landscape a quiet, almost timeless quality.<br \/>\nPerhaps that is why this place fascinates me so much.<\/p>\n<p>The ice vanished long ago. The sea continues to work on the stones. Wind and water are still changing them, but so slowly that we barely notice.<br \/>\nFor me, landscape photography is also about seeing slowly. The longer I stay, the more a seemingly simple landscape begins to tell its story.<\/p>\n<p>You'll find more photographs and reflections on this place in my photography project \u201cAmong the Stones\u201d at <a href=\"https:\/\/picturesofnorway.com\/en\/projekte\/zwischen-den-steinen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this link<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchmal liegt eine ganze Eiszeit direkt vor unseren F\u00fc\u00dfen.
