Why is the image taken this way, what where the circumstances and what else was done to make it the way it is now.
In the blog item 'September on Sicily' 'the question was 'How to show the heat in an image? '.
For this item the question might be 'How to show the cold in an image?'.
The image was taken on the Hadangervida plateau in Middle Noway. Hardangervida is the largest plateau in Europe and is almost completely above the tree-line.

The grape harvest was nearly done and in the small villages cart with remains of first pressing started softly fermenting. Finding a cappuccino at 11:00 was a problem, finding a wine tasting not at all.
