Photo: Haukland beach, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 I’ve been busy the last week getting a few images processed.  I should have a gallery of the first 50 online and ready to go tomorrow. I made several journeys out to Haukland Beach during my time on the islands.  I was hoping for conditions similar to […]

Lofoten Islands Northern Lights

Photo: Northern lights fill sky over Reine, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 Out of 12 nights on the islands I only saw a minor display of the northern lights – aurora borealis on February 6th.  Most every other night of my trip the sky was cloudy and thus not very conductive to northern lights watching. […]

Eggum Nights

Photo: Moon over mountain, Eggum, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 2012 Eggum is one of those places that I’ve been to a fair amount of times, yet generally walk away without any photos.  I’m not sure if its because I don’t find Eggum as immediately scenic as say Utakleiv or Unstad, so I tend to shoot […]

Photo: Olstind rises above Reine in winter, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Feb 6, 2012 After picking up my backpack from the luggage carousel I left the airport and walked into the cool night air of Bodø.  The streets were rather snow free for Jan 31st but a crisp wind cut easily through my jackets as I […]

Back From Lofoten

Photo: Winter Ice, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Feb 2012 I was fading in and out of sleep as the car made it’s way through the winding roads of the Welsh Marches just before midnight last night (no, I wasn’t driving).  24+ hours of travel had taken the last energy I had.  This trip was exhausting, more […]

Lofoten Islands – Kjerkfjord Winter Panoramic

/4 Comments/in , , , , /by

Photo: Kjerkfjord panoramic, Reine, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Jan 2010 View across Kjerkfjord towards Vindstad.  If I get a good enough forecast hopefully I will take the ferry across and camp for a couple nights at Bunes beach.  Would probably be the perfect spot for one of those cliche photos of a tent at night with […]

Photo: Self portrait hiking on Stamsundsheia, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  March 2009 I should be somewhere on the Lofoten Islands about now.  Hopefully conditions are good and I can head up into the hills.  I’ve been paying close attention to the current weather conditions and forecast over the last weeks.  Other than a few cold spells […]

Journey to Lofoten Islands

Photo: Winter dawn at Haukland Beach, Vestvagoy, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  Jan 2010 Tuesday I’ll be heading 2,000 kilometres north to the Lofoten Islands.  While Wales is relatively close to Norway, it is always a fairly long journey to get to Lofoten.  I’ll leave Wales at 3:30am for the 3.5 hour drive to Gatwick airport.  I […]
