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.
Thank you for your comments,

This is very iconic Norwegian. (But very far from my everyday life) These are the same kind of horses that the Norwegian vikings used.
Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages.
At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.
In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created
