Description

For four days we stayed in a small rorbu, or fishermen's cabin, sometimes known as rorbuer, built over the fjord and nearby Norwegian sea. This is the view we saw, the boat docks, empty in winter, with a stunning stormy sunset view out our windows. We were the only ones there. I easily could have spent another couple of weeks there. The docks were empty. It was the middle of January and off season for tourists, but not for photographers.

We could hear the waves splashing the rocks used as a footing for the cabin as we slept at night. The cabin we stayed in was immediately next to the scene you see here, a wonderful collection of old buildings now used as a fishing museum.

Å, is a village in Moskenes in Nordland county, Norway, near Sørvågen on the island of Moskenesøya, at the southern tip of the Lofoten islands, off route E10 highway or King Olav's Road. I call this town, the "End Of the Road" village. E10 ends here. This is as far south in the Lofotens as you can travel by car. Want to go further south, it will it will be by two legs or boat.

Until the 1990s, Å was mainly a small fishing village specializing in stockfish, but since then tourism has taken over as the main economic activity.

The village (originally a farm) is first mentioned in 1567. The name is from Old Norse á which means small river.
