Norway- North of the Arctic Circle

I wonder what the reindeer made of the fellow photographer;-)

Bentsjordtinden seen from the coast at Tisnes, Kvaløya. At 2.30 p.m. the sun is already disappearing behind the mountains.

Shipwreck on the shores of Balsfjorden, seen from Tisnes, Kvaløya.

Reindeer in Lyfjorddalen, Kvaløya. In this valley there usually is a herd even in winter. When this was taken there was so little snow that they had no problems grazing.

Autumn colours and fresh snow in Straumsfjorden, Ryøya on the left. The mountains in the background are on the far side of Balsfjorden.

Looking back into Gisund with the sun already rather low at 1 p.m. Official sunset time was 3 p.m. but the sun disappeared earlier because of the mountains.

Noontime sunshine over Gisund, north of Gibostad

...for his parents who arrived by kystens riksvei 1, as Hurtigruten are sometimes called. Especially in winter the ships are still very important for local passengers and freight.

HFF everybody!

A wintry fence to cool off a bit;-) hFF and have a good weekend, folks!
