People who have been following the blog for a while will know that I liked northern Norway a lot. In fact, I even want to say that the Lofoten Islands are one of the most beautiful places, if not the most beautiful place, that I have ever had the chance to visit.
In this post I said that I still had something to say about that breathtaking corner in the North, but because pictures say so much more than words, I’m going to let them do the talking!

These are gorgeous photos. We didn’t get that far north this past summer when we were in Norway…oh well. Maybe next time!
That’s a pity! If I’m back in Norway, I will definitely go back to the Lofoten. It kind of stole my heart. So beautiful!
Norway is just so spectacularly gorgeous! I haven’t been to the Lofoten Islands, but would love to go.
The most beautiful country in the world? I don’t think many countries can compete with Norway when it comes to scenery and landscapes. Gorgeous indeed!
You’re such a great photographer, the photos really do speak for themselves! When I visited Norway, I only had one day in the capitol and it was an extremely gray and foggy day. Wish I could go back :[
Thanks a lot Aryn :-. I skipped Oslo when I was in Norway, too expensive for me at the time. But I’ll be back 😉
Great pics as always Bram. Looks so peaceful there.
Thanks Devlin! It certainly was peaceful when I was there; the weather was unbelievably good. I can’t imagine what it must be like in winter though, being a couple hundred kilometres north of the arctic circle.
Amazing photos! I’ve never been to Norway, but it’s should absolutely be on my bucket list.
Thanks so much, Shachar! Norway is my number one favorite country to visit, spectacular landscapes and gorgeous towns.
