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.

Eagle

We did see a lot of eagles on Lofoten. And they are such a mighty sight!

This one here was just an exhibit. But I love how close I could get. 

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.

dramatic skys

One thing I love about northern countries is that the skies tend to be really dramatic. This image was taken in northern Lofoten, summer 2013.

Norwegian Church

A quaint church by the fjord, Norway, summer of 2013.

An uneven race

In the Oslo airport, kids were playing with the walking belts. I totally understand and would have almost joined the fun. 

Road in the Woods

Vesteralen, far North of the polar circle and beautifully lit by sun through the clouds.

Vesteralen Coast Line

We drove over parts of the Vesteralen and close to Ardenes we got the view of this dramatic coastline.

Light House

On the Vesteralen, north of Lofoten: The lighthouse in Andenes

Row Boat

Nautic scenes and water side finds... one after the other on Lofoten.

Storm on the road

Weather is a really thrilling thing to watch in the northern countries.

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.
