News of the enforcement of the commercial driving regulations in the Lofoten region has begun to spread in the background of the photo workshop community. Many of the more serious (international) guides have already been using legal and licensed transport in recent years, but I still see multiple workshops driving around in rental vans or […]
Continued from: Guiding in Norway Part 1 – Commercial Driving Regulation Enforcement Begins on Lofoten The following is going to be long, complicated and confusing. And if you think it’s bad just to read, imagine trying to operate a business under these conditions. Going back to late 2020, the new transportation regulations required all persons […]
Several years ago I wrote an introductory article about the commercial driving license regulations in Norway for small guiding operations like photography workshops. See Article – Commercial Driving Regulations for Photography Workshops in Norway As the rules currently stand, only Norwegian residents with a Kjoreseddel – taxi operators license – received from the Norwegian police, […]
Photo: Warm winter light shines through the steep valleys of distant Flakstadøy, Yttersand, Lofoten Islands, Norway. January 26, 2026. 11:36 Despite the quickly lengthening days, the late January sun does not rise far above the horizon, leaving much of the northern valleys of Lofoten hidden in shadow. Here, even approaching noon, the sun only shines […]
Photo: Misty clouds conceal Ristinden peak at dawn, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 5, 2026. 09:30 I will dare to say that the last month has been the best winter in recent memory.

Photo: Winter winds blow over Haukland beach, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 2, 2025. 11:48 But where are the mountains? Yes, there should be mountain in the background of this image, except at this moment in the middle of a passing snow shower, there aren’t. Or well, the mountains are there, you just can’t see […]
Photo: Colourful northern lights fill sky, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. January 20, 2026. 18:37 This is the following night from last week’s aurora image (Friday Photo #681) and actually a better display than the previous night. The image is looking south towards the colourful aurora filling the southwestern sky over Lofoten, though not long after […]
Photo: Red Northern lights fill the northern horizon over Lofoten, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. January 19, 2026. 23:23 On Monday night one of the biggest solar storms in the last 20 years hit the earth, bringing northern lights down to Italy and parts of the southern US. I’ll let the space nerds debate on how […]
Photo: Frozen snow covers the surface of Reinefjorden on a still winter day, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 7, 2024. 10:29 It is not often that the surface or Reinefjorden freezes during winter. While the temperatures are often cold enough to do so, it is often the near constant wind rarely allowing the fjord to […]
Photo: A young birch sapling in pillows of snow, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 14, 2025. 11:52 One thing I sometime miss about the Lofoten landscape is the ability to find a nice lonely tree in the middle of a field or a small isolated grove without too many other distractions.
