Then we went south to the beautiful LofotenIslands and through Sweden back to Finland where we flew back home.
Everybody had warned us for the bad weather there, but we started with 28 degrees Celsius = 82.4 Faherenheit in Rovaniemi and had sunshine every day, no rain at all. I'll show you a few first impressions.
As I live in a flat country I am always thrilled to see mountains and we saw a lot of them.
An inhabitant of Lapland in orgininal Sami costume. The reindeer is an albino that's why he has a pink horn. The good looking man in the black jacket is our tourleader, not bad to look at, isn't it ladies?
The dried cod at the Norwegian LofotenIslands.
Everywhere you see red wooden houses and always mountains in the background.
I will show you more of the tour the next days.
Really beautiful, Bieb! I feel as if I can smell how pure the air is.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat are the reindeer for? The one you met seemed completely tame and calm. I'm astounded by how big his feet are.
I look forward to seeing the rest of your travel photos!
You have whetted my appetite for more views of this glorious land. The first shot looks like a National Geographic cover!

Kitty,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe reindeer are for meat and are not wild at all. They walk everywhere in the wild and sometimes on the roads. Once a year there is a big hunt to catch the ones for the slaughter.
Cool shots. Welcome back.
BeantwoordenVerwijderengood that you are back!
BeantwoordenVerwijderendid you also eat the reindeer?
i like the photos!
Your pictures are wonderful and I'm glad you had such a good trip! I'm looking forward to seeing more.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooie series Marian, je reis was zo te zien meer dan de moeite waard daar! De Stokvis zag ik eens drogen op het eilandje Runde aan de kust van Noorwegen vlakbij Alesund. En het licht is daar zo speciaal, ideaal voor fotografen. Mooi hoor, dank voor de beelden..
BeantwoordenVerwijderenfijne avond nog en mooie week,
hartelijke groet,
Henk.
CaT,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes I must admit I did eat reindeer and I liked it...
Henk,
Het licht is inderdaad prachtig daar, vooral als je steeds zon hebt.
