Manteniéndote cerca, imperturbable ante un incendio, la presión en mi pecho cuando respiras en mi oído, ambos sabíamos que esto sucedería cuando aparecieras por primera vez. mi señora de la isla.

El marrón de tu cuerpo en el resplandor del fuego, excepto los lugares donde el sol se negó a ir. Nuestros cuerpos encajaban perfectamente en el resplandor que yacimos, mi señora de la isla

Dejándome vagar por dentro del mundo de tus ojos, sabes que me gustaría quedarme aquí hasta que cada lágrima se seque.

Envueltos, alrededor uno del otro, con el sol mirando a hurtadillas, rayos de sol iluminan el escenario, la luz roja está encendida. Nunca quiero terminar lo que acabo de comenzar contigo. mi señora de la isla

The Lofoten Museum is situated in an idyllic spot by the water’s edge, on the site of the medieval town of Vágar. The impressive manor house was completed in 1815, when Caspar Lorch was the owner of the fishing village. Here he traded and exported fish, as well as renting out cabins to the fishermen who came to join the winter season. Discover the contrast between life in the manor house and the authentic «rorbu»-cabins.

vagar pano in the Faroese Islands....what a beautiful place

From Lofoten, Norway.

"There is evidence of human settlement extending back at least 11,000 years in Lofoten, and the earliest archaeological sites ... are only about 5,500 years old, at the transition from the early to late Stone Age." Iron Age agriculture, livestock, and significant human habitation can be traced back to c. 250 BC.

The town of Vågan (Norse Vágar) is the first known town formation in northern Norway. It existed in the early Viking Age, maybe earlier, and was located on the southern coast on eastern Lofoten, near today's village Kabelvåg in Vågan municipality. The Lofotr Viking Museum with the reconstructed 83-metre-long longhouse (the largest known) is located near Borg on Vestvågøy, which has many archeological finds from the Iron Age and Viking Age.

The islands have for more than 1,000 years been the centre of great cod fisheries, especially in winter, when the cod migrate south from the Barents Sea and gather in Lofoten to spawn. Bergen in southwestern Norway was for a long time the hub for further export of cod south to different parts of Europe, particularly so when trade was controlled by the Hanseatic League. In the lowland areas, particularly Vestvågøy, agriculture plays a significant role, as it has done since the Bronze Age.

In March 1941 the islands were raided by British Commandos during Operation Claymore, and in a subsequent diversionary attack to support the Vaagso raid in December.

As of 2017, the islands attract one million tourists a year.

The Lofoten Museum is located in the former fishing village Storvågan by Kabelvåg in Lofoten. The museum was founded in 1976 and is part of Museum Nord and the Coastal Works Museum. The facility consists of a homestead with farmhouse from 1815, farm buildings, fisherman's cabins, boathouse with Nordland boats and garden with historic perennials.

The museum also has exhibitions about Lofoten fishing, harbors and lighthouses along the coast and about the medieval town of Vágar which was close to the museum area.

Thanks for your faves and comments!

Uma Após Uma as Ondas Apressadas

Uma Após Uma

Uma após uma as ondas apressadas

Enrolam o seu verde movimento

E chiam a alva 'spuma

No moreno das praias.

 

Uma após uma as nuvens vagarosas

Rasgam o seu redondo movimento

E o sol aquece o 'spaço

Do ar entre as nuvens 'scassas.

 

Indiferente a mim e eu a ela,

A natureza deste dia calmo

Furta pouco ao meu senso

De se esvair o tempo.

 

Só uma vaga pena inconsequente

Pára um momento à porta da minha alma

E após fitar-me um pouco

Passa, a sorrir de nada.

The coast line of Vagar Island in the Faroe islands. An easy hour or so walk takes you to this point with the frequently photographed lake above the sea. I wanted to show more of the surrounding coast line and hence this panoramic shot of 9 individual photographs. An incredible place to be.
