'When I got above 300 metres, the sun was getting through the mist and I suddenly noticed a strange circle of light below me. 'It was amazing - my shadow was projected into the fog with some pretty trilling effects like the magnified size of the shadow.'

Svein, who works at a publishing company, used a Canon 5D Mark II camera with a 24-105mm lens to capture the stunning photographs.
