Friday Photo #142 – Henningsvaer mountain view

Photo: View over Henningsvær from the summit of Festvågtind, Austvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 11, 2015. 18:53

This image is a result of the necessity for flexibility in your plans when traveling to Lofoten – winter or summer. My goal for the day had originally been for Matmora, but as had been the trend for most of my days on Lofoten thus far, the summit remained hidden in a layer of clouds. Luckily, Festvågtind (see hiking guide HERE), near Henningsvær was clouds free – or at least when I decided to start hiking.

I initially arrived at the summit at the same time as a passing snow storm. But unlike the higher surrounding mountains, the clouds would quickly pass revealing what looked like a fantastic summer day if you were to ignore the near freezing temperatures on the summit.
