Buløyfjellet & Flatafjellet (07.01.2018)

My first trip of the year! I had to get up early for this if I was going to catch the sun in the position I had intended.
My plan was to be on top of Buløyfjellet in time to watch & capture the sun via timelapse coming up behind or beside Bynuten.
I got up about 05:45, had some breakfast, packed and drove of to Myrlandsheia parkering. From here I started walking just after 07:00 and the temp was about -6°C.
The walk took longer than I had expected due to large parts of the track being completely iced over. Even though I was using my good headlamp I couldn't always see the ice in the dark and end up taking a few tumbles.
After about 1 hour and 15 minutes I was at the top, I got my warm clothes on, set up my camera and proceeded to make breakfast while I waited for the light show I was hoping for from the sun and little low lying clouds that were floating about.

Unfortunately the trip didn't end up being a huge success photographically speaking - clouds quickly rolled in and tried to shroud Bynuten from me, though having said that I did get one image that I am pleased with.
In all other aspects it was a great trip. I love being out in nature and open landscapes like this and I even ended up eating breakfast while a little snow falling on me.
