Photo: Fishing boat heading through Nappstraumen with Himmeltindan rising in the distance, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. April 5, 2026. 20:05 It is that time of year where Lofoten tries to decide if it is still winter or spring can finally begin. This year it seems spring is currently on the winning side as the storms […]
Photo: Northern Lights – Aurora Borealis rise into sky over Skagsanden beach, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 23, 2026. 21:26 The days of April are quickly growing longer as Lofoten enters the period of not-really-winter but not-quite-spring. How long this weather lasts is anyones guess and this year it seems to have already started at […]
Photo: Drying stockfish under a rainy March sky, Reine, Moskenesøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. March 19, 2026. 16:47 It had been an almost perfect winter, until it wasn’t.

Photo: Waves flow over rocks at Unstad beach, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. January 28, 2026. 11:25 After all these years, Unstad still remains one of my favourite beaches on Lofoten and is one of the few beaches that I’ll still go to on my own as well, not just with photo workshops.

Photo: Dawn light shines over Narvtinden mountain peak and reflection, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. January 26, 2026. 09:51 This view has long been a favourite of mine. It is often a relatively straightforward shot, so I don’t tend to stop there too often anymore, but on this January morning, it looked like the sky had […]
Continued from: Guiding in Norway Part 2 – Disfunction in the North 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, […]
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 […]
