About the photo
We faced with a very moody, windy and rainy weather on Vesteralen Archipelago during our Scandinavian trip this summer. We have spent a couple of days on Andoya, where I was tring to capture the rugged beauty of these nothern islands.
About the place
(wikipedia)
Andøya is the northernmost island in the Vesterålen archipelago, situated about 300 kilometres (190 mi) inside the Arctic circle. Andøya is located in the municipality of Andøy in Nordland county, Norway. The island has an area of 489 square kilometres (189 sq mi), making it the tenth largest island in Norway. The island is connected to the neighboring island of Hinnøya using the Andøy Bridge. The Andfjorden lies to the east of the island, the Risøysundet strait lies to the south and east side of the island, and the Gavlfjorden lies to the southwest side. The Norwegian Sea lies to the west and north.
The numerous bog areas on Andøya are used for the extensive production of peat. Andøya is also well known for its cloudberries. Besides the flat and largely continuous bog areas, Andøya also consists of steep mountain ranges reaching up to 700 metres (2,300 ft) high. The sharp peak of Kvasstinden is the highest point on the island at 705 metres (2,313 ft).
I said I don't want to travel. But if you ask me to go to Norway, I won't hesitate even a minute.
Let's go to Norway! )))
