Reine ... The Lofoten Islands
As I am following the chronology of the trip I should now be heading North again. However I could not resist posting another shot from the Lofoten Islands. This is the incredibly beautiful village of Reine a fishing village which is located on the island of Moskenesøya .It was a long drive from Svolvar to Reine but when I turned a bend in the road and saw the village my jaw just dropped. I have a lot of shots of the Lofotens so will be returning to them in the future but tomorrow we carry on North towards Tromso
A little bit of information on the Lofoten Islands from wiki
Lofoten is an archipelago 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. Lofoten is known for its distinctive scenery with mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.
Lofoten is located at the 68th and 69th parallels north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. Lofoten encompasses the several principal islands, running from north to south are: Hinnøya, Austvågøy, Gimsøy ,Vestvågøy, Flakstadøya and Moskenesøya. Winter temperatures in Lofoten are very mild considering its location north of the Arctic Circle .This is a result of the Gulf Stream and its extensions: the North Atlantic Current and the Norwegian Current. Røst and Værøy are the most northerly locations in the world where average temperatures are above freezing all year.
What Wiki forgot to say is that these Islands are astonishingly beautiful…if you have a few quid spare go and visit them
