Scattered across the landscape of Jølster, the Frames of Nikolai Astrup are large wooden viewfinders positioned at locations that directly mirror the scenes painted by the celebrated Norwegian artist who spent his life here. Each frame acts as a ready-made composition, aligning the surrounding fjord, farmland, and rolling hills into the exact perspectives Astrup captured on canvas. Position yourself close to the frame and shoot through it to layer the wooden border against the landscape beyond, or step back to include a person standing within it for a sense of scale. Overcast days work beautifully here, as soft diffused light brings out the deep greens and blues that define Astrup's palette. Midday can wash out the colors, so aim for morning or late afternoon. A 24-35mm lens lets you capture both the frame and the full scene behind it. (Vassenden, Vestland, Norway)
