Some more from the Lofoten

Shot with the Pentax 6x7, slide (I guess Fuji Provia, because it's my fave) and converted to B&W

Another super pair Rense. The high contrast suits them I'll even forgive the hair in the second!

Sh*t! Sorry. Forget to check it, thanks! Thank you double...

I really like that second shot, hair or no hair.

Well that's Lofoten for you and very well done Rense. No wonder I steadily return to the area.

Thank you John and Ivar. It's a beautiful landscape indeed. For us it is the other half of Europe though... It's a long way!

Not to me, only 2 days drive if I go straight, but I never do!

I did it in 2012 from home:

1 day to friends in Lund
1 day to Oslo to pick up my parents from the airport
1 day to friends in Trondheim (via the Peer Gyntvegen)
1 day to Mo i Rana
1 day to my sister who lived that time in Engawagen near Bodø
1 day to Lofoten, but not after a longer stay at my sisters....

Great route btw, but longish....

Well as long as you enjoyed it Rense. We usually go through Telemark county over to the west side and drive the coastal road all the way. But we have our home on 4 wheels, so we can stop anywhere and we do. Might see you one day then, up there

We did enjoy it, Norway is probably the most beautiful country in Europe. We cycled the Nord-Sea route in Norway and Denmark several years ago, and the coastline is spectacular.

And probably you did see me already, but didn't recognise me....
