Thursday’s Special: Traces of The Past Y4-07
Paula, at Lost in Translation, asks us again to find traces of the past. In Lofoten this summer, we experienced what is said to be the oldest and most authentic fishing village (fiskevær) there is – Nusfjord. Dating back to the 19th century… the village is still alive with rorbuer and everything. We spent some […]Read Post ›
CFFC: Teal, Aqua, Turquoise…
For Cee today – these colours lead me to the sea…but also to a Bhutanese farmer’s kitchen! Mountain lakes almost always have these hues of blue green. There are many minerals co-operating to make it work. A fascinating colour.
CFFC: Men and Instruments
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Week 5 Photo – Music, guitar, instrument, men, coffee, etc. All men… …and good at what they are doing! Irish in the header, in Madrid I admired the glass player sitting in a street market, and… …happy guys playing cards in the streets of Beijing. All candid shots.

I eagerly noticed all the patterns in people’s lives – in clothes, buildings, decorations, religious paintings and habits…as well as patterns in Nature herself. Like the […]Read Post ›

Just west of Svolvær is Vågar – mentioned in the book Heimskringla, and might have been established as early as the year 800 AD. We arrived rather […]Read Post ›
Thursday Thoughts – From Narvik to Svolvær

This time we also took the train to Riksgränsen and back again. We got an interesting view of the new bridge connecting islands […]Read Post ›
Wordless Wednesday
Leaving Abisko – for Norway and Lofoten
In the header is Lapporten (Swedish: ”The Lapponian Gate”) or Tjuonavagge (Northern Sami: Čuonjávággi, ”Goose Valley”). This is a U-shaped valley in Lapland in northern Sweden, and one of the most familiar and famous natural sights of the mountains there. Driving towards the Norwegian border, we left lake Torne Träsk behind us heading for the […]Read Post ›
