Henningsvær’s football pitch is one of Lofoten’s most recognisable sights, set against a dramatic backdrop of mountains, fjords and scattered islands. Arriving early in the morning, I was able to capture the pitch surrounded by the quiet winter landscape before the day began.

The low Arctic light brought a soft warmth to the scene, contrasting with the snow-covered mountains and darker waters surrounding the islands. From this perspective, the scale of the landscape becomes clear, with the small football pitch sitting almost entirely surrounded by the rugged terrain of Lofoten.

It was one of the first scenes I photographed during my visit to the islands and a perfect introduction to the kind of landscapes that make Lofoten so distinctive. The combination of the familiar football pitch and the dramatic Arctic surroundings creates an image that captures both the character of Henningsvær and the scale of the landscape around it.
