Two pictures shot this summer in northern Norway – almost at the same time. We had waited a long time for this view – Reine almost at the ”toe” of Lofoten. Felt I had to shoot it with both my cameras, just to be sure. The landscape is stunning and hard to do justice in…

#336 About a Picture
A picture from northern Norway earlier this summer. I used a Kodak Gold 200 in my M3.
#332 About a picture
The bridge ”Frydenlundsbrua” in Narvik. I can imagine that the decorations are med by a local elementary school. Below the bridge is the iron ore railway from Kiruna in Sweden – or as it is called in Norway ”Ofotbanen”.
#322 Lofoten fishing boats
There are some things I have a special weakness for – from a photography point of view. Fishing villages and boats are definatley part of those. Lofoten has an almost unlimited amount of both. I am not a fan of environments that are made for tourists – even if I must admit that I am…
#321 Lofoten villages
The small villages of Lofoten are often built around a small harbour – no surprise there. What strikes me is that they seem to be very alive. Fishing is still an income for people – of course combined with tourism. The villages we visited are still genuine and have a kind of ”ruffness”- even if…
#320 Lofoten hiking
When you come to Lofoten you have to go for a hike. There is nothing more beautiful – when the sun shines… We used the app ”All Trails” to find out an appropriate hike. It is a [very] good thing to get a map or download the maps on your phone. Check out the weather…
#319 Lofoten and the fish
Lofoten would be something very different without the fishing boats. One could argue that if it wasn’t for the large cod fish – the skrei – Lofoten may not be inhabited at all. At least not as it is now…. The fishing reaches it’s climax between january and april when the skrei comes back to…
#318 Reinebringen
It is hard to go to Reine and not ”climb” Reinebringen – the 448m high peak right next to the village. Climb may not be the right word – more like ”take the stairs up”. A team of Sherpas built a stone stairway almost all the way to the top. An unbelievable achivement. Going up…
#317 Arriving to Reine in Lofoten
When you drive towards Reine you drive on the small E10 road, that curves around mountains and sometimes through long tunnels. Then suddenly – after the 1,5 km long ”Hamnøytunneln” – you are suddenly there. At first you arrive to the small Island of Hamnøy – and this is where everyone stopps to take photos….
#316 The way to Lofoten
Our way to Lofoten started in Kiruna in the most northern part of Sweden. We rented a car and drove for about three hours to Narvik in Norway. The new bridge ”Hålogalandsbrua” greeted us as we closed up on Narvik. The last time I was in Narvik – about ten years ago – the bridge…
#298 Trondheim by night
I had to take a short last walk around Trondheim before I headed home again. It had become dark outside – but that makes the city totally different… I only had to go right outside my hotel to find these nice blocks. I think I read somewhere that this is the worlds most northern tram….
#297 Golden Trondheim
As the sun raised above the horizon I walked around Trondheim city once more. During my blue hour morning walk I found some spots that I wanted to go back to. Bakklandet was one of them. To get to Bakklandet I had to cross the river Nidälva again. I don’t think it was warm steam…
