Hello to all!
I'll show you some random landscape caught in Lofoten (Norway), at the end of march.
I have been impressed by silence. There was a different style of sound. No car, no people talking, only the thin sound of the ocean waves (there are many archipelagos where water is calm), some rare animals, and my feet in the snow.
Nothing else.
Light is stunning almost every hours of the day, also because of sun is low, and air is fresh and clean.
Here the nice house we have rented in Vestersand, in front of the atlantic ocean.
All made in wood, this has been our warm refuge for 8 days!
That was the view from the window during sunny (rare) days:
Here the entrance to the wild Trollfjord, a fjord in which you can understand well how Lofoten has been created by nature: glaciers have worked for thousands of year eroding the stone under them, so many walls are smooth, leaving above untouched the peaks that were above the glaciers. In this way Lofoten has great pointed summits, and large valleys, filled now by ocean water.
Gimsøya island, with its typical rocky peak:
Lofoten light at sunset:
Here in Vestvågøy island. You can find many lakes, or ponds, partially frozen in march:
Strong wind in last picture. They have built an amazing road, with some bridges and some long tunnel below water surface. This road, for many kilometers, passes away from town, so you are into the wild, with blue ocean and snowy mountains all the way long!
Here you can watch more, don't miss the new video 'Kingdom of silence'!
