Photo: Tourist fishing boat sits alone in the empty sea, Nappstraumen, Lofoten Islands, Norway. July 10, 2026. 13:52 As Lofoten approaches its last week of the midnight sun season, the sun, unfortunately, still remains an elusive guest in this grey and cool summer Lofoten is having. Tomorrow should be nice and sunny, before clouds then […]

Friday Photo #704 – After Midnight

Photo: Midnight sun over sea, Lofoten Islands, Norway. July 11. 2025. 00:35 The Midnight Sun season is well underway here in Lofoten and the farmers are already out cutting the fields – which is a few weeks earlier than last year. Though for some reason, it feels like summer itself is off to a slow […]

Friday Photo #703 – Across Værøy

Photo: View across the mountains of Værøy from Nordlandsnupen, August 18, 2023. 19:14 Despite being only 2 hours from my front door (1 hour driving, 1 hour ferry), Værøy feels like another world, far from Lofoten. It also feels like a mini-Lofoten, with all the drama and views packed into one small island. From Nordlandsnupen, […]

Friday Photo #701 – Misty Dawn

Photo: Misty clouds swirl over the landscape after a night of summer rain, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. June 7, 2021. 06:53 This was one of those weather forecasts where it could be very good, or it could just be ‘ehh.’ It ended up more on the ‘ehh’ side of things. I had been hoping for […]

Friday Photo #700 – Lofoten Nightlife

Photo: Willow Ptarmigan – Rype in Norwegian – enjoying the evening summer sun, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. May 18, 2026. 23:05 With Lofoten’s roads filling up with motorhomes and the mountains with hikers it is good to remember that most of Lofoten’s breeding birds are ground nesting. And in the case of the common gulls […]

Friday Photo #699 – Midnight Sun

Photo: Midnight sun under Fredvang bridge, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. May 29, 2021. 00:43 The midnight sun season has officially begun on Lofoten! The sun will be in the sky 24 hours a day from now until mid July, when it finally sinks below the northern horizon again. As I like to repeat, the term […]

Kungsleden Trail Ebook Update

Kungsleden Trail 2026 edition I’ve just published a complete updated for my Kungsleden trail ebook for 2026. The biggest change is that I’ve combined the previous two versions: Kungsleden North and Kungsleden South into one single eBook. The good news is if you wanted both guides, it is now a little cheaper. That bad news […]

Friday Photo #698 – Spring Flowers

Photo: Spring buttercup flowers in evening sunlight, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. May 19, 2026. 22:59 I think it’s now safe to say that spring has arrived on Lofoten – possibly summer even with some of the temperatures during the last week; though rain returns tonight and throughout the weekend. Not good timing for my first […]

June 18, 2022. 00:22 This week’s photo is one from the archives as I’m fully concentrated in ebook editing mode to get my hiking guides updated for the upcoming summer season. West Lofoten Hikes has already been updated, and the Kungsldeden guides are up […]
