On day six of my motorcycle tour around Southern Norway, I took the day off to do the famous Flåmsbana Railway. The weather was miserable, but that didn't ruin the experience. If anything, cloudy skies just make Norway feel all the more dramatic.

The Railway journey is a round trip, which brings you back to Flåm after about an hour, where you can catch a bus to nearby Gudvangen, another small port at the other end of Gudvangatunnelen - the collossal 11 mile road tunnel through the mountain that divides the two villages.

These photographs were taken with my Sony A7R IV and the Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM. Of course, shots like these need a circular polariser to really make them pop; I'm currently using 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.
