While traveling around Kvaløya island, we came across this beautiful scenery.
Kvaløya, aka as "Whale Island", is an island in the Norwegian municipality of Tromsø.
Kvaløya is a mountainous island, with at least ten mountains higher than 2,300 ft and three reaching an elevation of more than 3,300.
There are also several small fjords, almost dividing the island in two or three parts: Kaldfjorden, Ersfjorden, and Kattfjorden.

The Sognefjord is Norway's longest and deepest fjord and one of its arms, the Nærøyfjord, is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
This is very iconic Norwegian. (But very far from my everyday life) These are the same kind of horses that the Norwegian vikings used.
Yesterday we had a Nor'easter, good thing only 6" of snow around us. In Boston, it got 2ft of snow, plus strong wind, etc. Of course, took an outing to the park near me. It's freezing tho.
Mosjøen is a town in Vefsn Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. Mosjøen is the oldest town in the Helgeland region, with only the town of Bodø being older within Nordland county.
Mosjøen is known for Sjøgata: Northern Norway's longest cluster of 19th-century wooden houses and piers.
We revisited our summer holiday space on the Lofoten from 3 years ago when we first visited the archipelago. Arriving there today with everything closed down and not a single soul in sight was such a special moment. The weather contributed with some fog and especially moody light and the result was a kind of zen landscape that touched our hearts and memories.
During the ice ages, deep valleys and narrow inlets filled with ocean water, creating the natural wonders that the modern world often refers to as fjords. Although there are many fjords across the globe, the ones that grace the Norwegian coastline reign as the most popular because of their astonishing beauty. Hundreds of cruise ships bring tourists to Norway every year to experience these marvelous inlets. However, the mountains and villages surrounding the Norwegian fjords also offer many incredible sights and adventures.
