Friday Photo #685 – Valley Light

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 […]

Friday Photo #684 – Pastel Dawn

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. Day after day of cold and still weather, barely a hint of wind, and nights of dancing northern lights over the snow […]

Friday Photo #683 – Windswept

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 […]

Friday Photo #682 – Colourful Aurora

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 […]

Friday Photo #681 – Red Aurora

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 […]

Friday Photo #680 – Frozen Reinefjord

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 […]

Friday Photo #679 – Pillows of Snow

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. There are a few […]

Friday Photo #678 – Vanishing Sun

Photo: Vanishing sun in snow storm on Reinefjord, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 13, 2025. 10:13 On this week’s cruise around Reinefjord I could see the large wall of cloud and snow approaching from the north even before the ferry boat left the jetty in Reine. I could see on the radar that it wasn’t […]

Friday Photo #677 – Kirkefjord Reflection

Photo: Mountain peaks rise over Kirkefjord on a calm winter morning, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 1, 2024. 09:51 The inner fjord arms of Reinefjord are some of my favourite areas in western Lofoten. Even if not putting on the backpack and heading out to Bunes or Horseid beaches, the boat journey across the fjord […]

Friday Photo #676 – Sea Eagle

Photo: White-Tail Sea Eagle picks up fish from fjord, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 5, 2025. 13:33 In some of my recent photo workshops we are beginning to introduce more activities than just landscape and northern lights photography. The sea eagle safaris out of Svolvær are one of those activities. And as I still consider myself […]
