Baked or fried?       This stream rushes down from the lake that serves the town with H20.       A view of our friend's 'country cottage'. It is twenty minutes from his city house.

Elin rests by this alpine lake. It is a fair climb back down.       Another view of the lakeside getaway. This lake is drinkable.       A salmon-colored band of cloud fires up the sky near midnight.

Elin smiles as we approach a settlement reachable only by water.       Sunlight sneaks through the arctic fog in Reine.       A codboat docked in the Reine Fjord.

A small settlement accessable only by boat.       Headland of the Reine Fjord.       Nesland. The end of the road.

Nesland... "The Miami of the Lofotens."       Whoa.       Whale Beef For Sale. Get it while it lasts.

Lots of fun to catch these feisty fellows on light gear.       Hooked something big. Oops... I think it is planet earth.       Elin takes a brief turn with the pole, but prefers to read.

A Nordland boat under full sail in the harbor at A.       Tourists enjoy a sail on a Nordland boat. Used for fishing in this region until the middle of the last century.       Our compound: The A-Hamna Rorbuer

Nabbed this handsome torsk on our last outing.       The torsk made an excellent last meal.       Feeding frenzy. Seagulls gorge on fish offal I generouslay provided.

Arctic fog creeps over the peaks behind the town on this our last glorious day in the boat.
