Land of the midnight sun - a photo on Flickriver

Land of the midnight sun

            The sun does not set for weeks or months in high northern latitudes but there are days when the sun remains elusive. We set out for a night excursion to higher ground on Moskenesøya, an island at the southern end of the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway. It had been raining all day but an end to the rain was forecast. You have to grab these opportunities in the Lofoten Islands which jut out into the North Atlantic rising vertically from the sea. The views of the incredibly varied and rugged landscape improve with every meter you climb. The strange thing is that the islands are so well connected by bridges that you never have to get on a ferry travelling from the mainland or between the islands.  The Kåkern Bridge in the distance connects the island of Flakstadøya on the left with Moskenesøya on the right.
