The Lofoten Islands
Moments from Lofoten, NorwayThe Islands of the Lofoten, 170 kilometers above the arctic circle, known for a distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, tiny picturesque fishing villages, sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.
Winter in the Lofoten Islands
I think I found Santa's village!
One of the rare sunset moments I had in Reine where it wasn't snowing heavily or foggy.
The iconic Olstinden mountain peak
This was one of the most beautiful Northern lights show I've seen! It was mesmerizing! Didn't even check the time-lapse I was taking at the time, not even once, I just stood there looking at it dancing. At one point it goes so crazy and bright, it lit up the whole ground! It was amazing
Fish Anyone?! :) Stockfish drying in a traditional method on racks in the Lofoten Islands. Once dried, the arctic cod fillets are then exported to the world!
I had crazy sunset on my last night in Lofoten! The whole sky was lit on fire, it was amazing!
This is one of my favorite shots from Lofoten. Hamnøy is truly a beautiful place! Had a bit of luck that night it didn't rain much nor snowed. I've stayed there for hours, you can never get enough of the view! Sadly I was staying in Reine so I had to walk back there at some point, but I really enjoyed that night and I hope I was able to capture the beauty of this tiny village for you the way I saw it through my lens.

Winter is coming...
One of those rare calm nights I had in Lofoten

Winter day in Hamnøy
The weather in Lofoten changes often and very quickly, one minute it's sunny with blue sky the other minute you'll be in the middle of a snow storm! This is one of those moments, I took this shot on my way back from Hamnøy
Sakrisøy, a tiny island just outside the village of Reine
One of the things I loved in Lofoten is that you have no idea what might happen the next minute, the sun could be shining with blue sky! Or you might turn around and have this happening behind you! :)

A Beautiful Red Fishing Hut on Ramberg Beach
So I was at this restaurant eating and I look outside the window and I see this storm coming my way! I barely got few bites, payed the waiter and rushed outside with all my gear as fast as I can to find a place where I can shoot this! Glad I was able to capture it. I also made a time-lapse :)
In Just One night, it went from white scenery to this! It's amazing how quickly it changed!
The iconic Olstinden mountain peak
A beautiful blue hour in Ramberg, shame couldn't hike Moltinden mountain! I can only imagine that view from the top!

This is Hamnøy, the oldest fishing village in the Lofoten archipelago and it's unbelievably beautiful!
Beautiful morning in Reine. The administration center of the municipality of Moskenes in Lofoten.
Those traditional red huts (rorbuer) were once used to house the annual influx of fishermen, now have been converted into unique accommodations for travelers.
For 3 days in a row got up at 5:30, went outside and waited the sunrise in Reine but unfortunately it was foggy the whole time. The next morning, decided to stay in bed, I still took a quick peek outside the window though and of course that particular day the weather was amazing! Did not even wash my face, just grabbed my tripod, my cam and I ran to the location and captured this!
Fisherman returning home
This is Moltinden mountain, 700m above see level, sadly I couldn't hike up there to get some shots for you guys due to weather instability. Maybe another time :)
