I stumbled across this old wooden stave church in the village of Borgund, about 35 miles South of Årdalstangen. Although runic inscriptions date the building at 1150 AD, it was only retired from service in 1868. It's a sinister looking building, adorned with carved dragon heads at each level of its spire, made all the more foreboding by the doom clouds gathering above it. It was closed by the time I arrived, so I didn't get a chance to look inside.

Aerial shots were taken with the DJI Mini Pro 3 drone. The rest were taken with my Sony A7R IV, Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM, the gorgeous Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM and Kase Wolverine magnetic filters.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
