Friday Photo #210 – Nesland Sun

Photo: Return of the sun! Nesland, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. January 12, 2017. 12:07 I was sitting down writing this text for another photo thursday morning, the sky grey and misty looking north towards Volandstind from my office window.

Friday Photo #209 – Winter Tourism

Photo: Sakrisøy and Olstind in winter, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 22, 2015. 17:39 I couldn’t really decide for a photo for today’s post.

Friday Photo #208 – Kvalvika Beach Winter

Photo: Winter view over Kvalvika beach from Ryten, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 28, 2016. 16:22 I attempted a night camping on Ryten last year (2015), however conditions deteriorated and it was so windy that standing was difficult, much less setting up my tripod! This February I had a little more luck. Heading up Ryten […]

New Image Gallery – Summer 2016

Photo: July sunset over Bunes beach, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. With only a couple days left in the year, I have finally gotten around to uploading a gallery from this summer.

New Lofoten Hiking Guide – Volandstind

After a long pause in adding new content, mainly because I’ve been busy writing my next ebook for Lofoten – a hiking/mountain photography guide to Moskenesøy and Flakstadøy, I have added a new mountain hike to the site: VOLANDSTIND Volandstind is located just down the road from my house, and sort of my backyards mountain. […]

Photo: Skjelfjord polar night, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. December 11, 2012. 12:23 Last weeks photo showed the normal weather Lofoten’s has been having for most of December so far.

Photo: Nesland coast, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. December 9, 2016. 12:01 This week was the begging of the winter mørketid, literally dark time, but otherwise known as the polar night.

Friday Photo #204 – Reine Sunrise

Photo: Autumn sunrise over Reine, near Vindstad, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. October 23, 2016. 08:51 The original plan for the previous night had been to camp on the summit of Storskiva. But it was far too windy to stay up high on the mountain, so we descended the peak and found a more sheltered location […]
