The Lofoten Islands

Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude. [Wikipedia]

Note: I've been saying these were in Finland, but after looking at a map, realized they had to be in Norway, so I looked them up. Enjoy the incredible photos from "Steinliland" - in most cases I left his titles and notes as he published them and only rarely changed his spelling, as it may be korrect in his land..

My homeland, where my heart belongs


This photo was shot in early June from a mountain in Vestvågøy, called Handbergstinden. It shows the inland of the Island where I was born, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands
