... And with that I mean literally brighter days. As we are above the polar circle, we don't get to see the sun till late January. The dark doesn't bother me at all, and the snow and slippery roads I can also take. What bothers me the most at the moment is that the village we live in is full of meese/moose! I'm seriously afraid they will hit my car or hit me in person. But they are soon leaving for the woods again.
As I'm waiting for the sun and brighter days, I'm looking at pictures from our awesome vacation to Lofoten and Vesterålen (where I now live).
This is from last summer. Get here!
This is as light as it gets.
@svk and a pretty nice beach. Not beach weather, but still, a beach is a beach.
Have you ever been to Norway? I can really recommend this place if you're planning on it.
This beach, though!!
You don't know what you got till it's gone ... sun; I miss you and look forward to seeing you again!
... Don't get me wrong, I'm doing just fine. Just nice to have something to look forward to ;)
Thanks for reading!

Hi @kariofthenorth, very beautiful scenery and so Gorgeous pictures. I started following you and i upvoted your post, would be nice if you checked out my blog as well :-)
Thank you! Will do :)
Det er lys i horisonten, bokstavelig talt! Sitter her på vestlandet og har følt litt på mørket. Men nå er det faktisk begynt å bli bedre. Lyset er lenger på besøk enn bare for 2 uker siden, det går riktig vei, og vi har "bedre" tider i vente :)
Det er jo noe av det som er magisk ved å bo i Norge, at vi setter så stor pris på når vi går mot våre og sommer, at vi virkelig setter stor pris på lyset!
Det er helt sant, vi er flinke til å sette pris på solen og lyset :) Jeg gleder meg til å se dagene bli lysere nå fremover, og selvsagt blir det fantastisk å bo under midnattssolen i vår og sommer!
very beautiful ... very happy if i was your place ...
Agree, and I can highly recommend this place :)
Where is the location..
Lofoten and Vesterålen in Norway :)
is there winter now? my sister also often tell the place because she lives there ..
Yes, winter and snowing at the moment :)
is there any special preparation for people there in welcoming winter ??
Very beautiful scenery
Yes, agree :)
Looks like a great place to get away. Also, just from your photos it looks hard to get to.
It really is a great place to get away. Not too hard, but depends where in the world you're at? :)
As my husband and me had a Viking/Celtic wedding I really want to travel to Norway with him! It would be so perfect to discover the land where they lived, laughed and drank some Mead😄
The photos you posted look so enchanting! Thank you very much for your travel inspiration!
Best wishes dear @kariofthenorth :)
Did you?? That’s awesome! I definitely think you should visit Norway, it truly is a beautiful country, and of course there are plenty of places with traces of Vikings :) You’d love it! Where are you from? Thank you for leaving such a sweet comment! Best, Kari
Aaaaw thank you very much for your lovely answer :)
Yes we actually got married in Viking clothes and celebrated a Viking-/Celtic ritual and party in a castle on the top of a mountain :) It was AMAZING! Unfortunately a lot of pictures got lost but my family still has them! If I visit them, I'll take them with me and post about it :)
Now I really, really want to visit Norway even more than I even wanted to before :D
I am from Germany and live in Rostock (Northern Germany) since two years now :)
If you want to see my wedding dress, you can take a look at my intro post if you want to :)

Thanks a lot, I will do so! Sounds amazing!! :)
That's so amazing! You looked so nice on your wedding, and I'm happy that you had a great day. Hoping that you get to visit Norway in near future :) :) A lot of Germans coming here during the summer :) Oh, and that castle really is amazing too! Must have been a lot of planning before a wedding like that! Have a great weekend! Best, Karianne
Thank you so much :) :)
Me too! I need to travel to Norway this year! I always wanted to go there as this country must be so stunning and perfect for Viking fans! And I just LOVE the landscapes there! :)
Hahaha, yeah it was indeed a LOT of planning. But it was totally worth it! :)
Thanks a lot, I will do so and check the post out! Sounds amazing!! :)
Best wishes, Linda
Jeg var også på Ryten i fjor sommer, veldig fin tur opp dit og fantastisk utsikt! Satt faktisk på samme trehuske som deg haha :)
