Lofoten Dreams

It is 3 years ago that we traveled the Lofoten, northern Norway.

We came home with way too many memories and images to quickly get an overview what we wanted to share and when and where.

I want to bring you some summer fjord time to last you over to your own vacation.

Merry Christmas

I am wishing everybody a merry christmas.

I think, light breaking out from the clouds is a great image to share for today.

This image was taken in northern Lofoten, summer of 2013.

Fotografering

A law from 1914 forbidding me to photograph? Well, I get it. Fine. But I can take an image of the sign, can't I?

Shore

Same beach. More surf.

Northern Beaches

Lofoten Beach in the rain.

As dawn arrived

Found on Lofoten. One of the many street art items that we saw. This kind of street art is really nice and interesting.

Do they want to tell me something?

There must be reindeer here, right?

Braving the Storm

We don't even know how we made it out there in the blasting storm. But when we got to Nyksund, the waves were crashing just behind those houses you see in the image. Their back is exposed to the open ocean.

We were seeking cover from the annoying rain, found shelter in a restaurant and enjoyed good coffee and some quiet time.

Directions to the south

These sign posts have been set up in a lot of places, these days. This one here is extremely close to the arctic circle. May I inform you that it is pointing south?

Brought to you from Lofoten, Norway.

Wide View

We went for a mountain hike on the Lofoten and were constantly sighting eagles. It is pretty exciting to look for them, everywhere.

This images does not (of my knowledge) contain any eagles but their habitat.

Cormorants

A group of cormorants gathered on this pier, southern Lofoten.

Rocks and Waves

Another rocky shore on the Lofoten.

Northern Living

A house in the far fjords of the Lofoten, Northern Norway. You might think the tree is a little too close to that house, right?

Endless Road

This endless road is waving up and down in the foot hills of the mountains on the Lofoten. You should always keep your eyes open what is behind the next corner, the next wave, the next mountain.

Tjaldsundbru

This bridge leads from the mainland attachment of the Lofoten and Vesteralen Islands and the further extensions of the Lofoten.

Wide Fjords

Lofoten and Vesteralen landscape just as you see it everywhere.

Wreck

This boat wreck that we came by twice on the Lofoten. I really liked the decay and I checked it out in detail.

Reindeer-Walk

The reindeer family takes a walk through the fields.

Merry Christmas

Santa sent the reindeers out into the field. Christmas is over.

Sunny patches

Here is a beautiful view out the window of our campground hut in Norway.
