Description

Traveling, I like to get off the beaten path and meander. I climbed on Sakrisoya Island in the Lofoten Islands behind the homes, Rorbu fishing cabins and cod fish drying racks, on the valley floor, to get up high over the fjords. You are looking toward Lilandstinden and Klolltinden further down than Hamnoy, off E10 and their snow covered mountains. The tiny village is on Kvalvika to the left. Taken at dusk in the early afternoon when sunset and sunrise appear within minutes of each other in January when daylight photography lasts a short time and sunsets are often hidden behind the clouds. The rest of the day is in darkness.

The rising and the setting of the sun often makes for stunning cloud structures. This day the glow seemed to dance from the mountain void toward the heavens. The beauty is magical and ethereal to me. This is one of my favorites from our eight days in the Loften Islands. It had to be taken as a panorama image to fully get the effect of this place.

The villages are old, hundreds of year's old. Some of the dwelling are occupied, some available for rental and renovated, but many are slowly crumbling, waiting for some kind soul to fix them up. Not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the dwellings are charming, rustic and many are painted the traditional white, the most expensive paint, ochre, the least expensive, red or blue, typical Scandinavian colors.
