Photo: Approaching snow flurry over Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 11, 2015. 20:01 This is the view from the summit of Festvågtind (hiking guide HERE)  on turbulent summer evening.

Friday Photo #140 – Summer Snow Flurry

Photo: Summer snow flurries on Festvågtind, Austvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 11, 2015. 18:27 In early summer it’s important to be prepared for sometimes winter-like conditions if heading out into the mountains. In the typical changeable nature of the weather on Lofoten, we had started the hike under a nice sunny blue sky. By the […]

Friday Photo #139 – Hamnoy Rorbuer

Photo: Hamnøy under cloudy summer sky, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 8, 2015. 19:54 Summer or Winter? Despite the calendar telling me it was June, the Islands were anything but summer like on this day. A west wind was bring an near endless series of misty showers and low clouds hanging over the mountain peaks. […]

Photo: Summer day over Haukland beach, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 3, 2015. 15:43 It’s always good to start a Lofoten trip with sunshine!

Friday Photo #136 – Stamsund

Photo: Summer in Stamsund, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  June 12, 2015. 11:00 I talk a lot about the hostel at Stamsund, which is pretty much the main reason I’ve returned to the Islands so many times over the years. But for some reason, I never really take many pictures of the hostel itself – probably […]

Friday Photo #135 – Unstad Panoramic

Photo: Summer light over Unstad, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 7, 2015. 21:03 Here is a panoramic view of last week’s image. While I really liked the details and shadows of the houses in the closeup, the overall scene was too good not to capture really wide. I wish I could have gotten to a […]

Lofoten Winter Video

Lofoten Winter – Video + Time Lapse Here’s a short film I just put together with footage and time lapse sequences from the last couple winters – mostly 2015, and a bit of 2014. Video was recorded on Nikon D800 and D810, while all time lapse sequences are from a Fuji XT-1. If you like […]

Photo: Summer light over Unstad, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 7, 2015. 21:27 Clouds and frequent rain showers had been passing the Islands all day. But finally by evening, the sky seemed to be clearing enough for me to venture out to the hills. My objective was a small mountain above Unstad, but not knowing […]
