Arrival of the Norwegian Air Ambulance

A man in his 60's had fallen and broken his thigh in the hard, icy ski tracks at the Norefjell mountain plateau this easter.

Being far from roads and in great pain he was treated by the Red Cross and then picked up by the Norwegian Air Ambulance which flew him to the nearest hospital some 100 km away.

    A proud Propagandalf watched the wife in action as rescuing/aiding doctor while waiting for the helicopter to arrive. Broken leg = wasted Easter - Ouch.

    The sky is so dramatic, along, of course, with the rest of the shot. Great catch!

    My only complaint is the contrast on the ground being considerably lower than the contrast in the clouds - it looks pasted. Overall great shot!
