Photographer's Note

Stamsund

A day driving the south & east coast of Vestvĺgřy, the road goes never very high but we had to stop for this view... Unforgatable!

* Sorry the for the little spot in the sky again. It must have happened in Lapland and I didnt realize that before a few days later... :(

This charming fishing village is located on the south side of the island of Vestvĺgřy in the Lofoten archipelago, along the Vestfjord. With a population of 1,000, Stamsund is an important fishing port and the largest base for Lofoten trawl fishing. Gradually, more and more tourists discover Lofoten, with its marvelous scenery, enhanced by the midnight sun in the summer and the northern lights in the winter.

Bonjour Viviane,

Quel beau paysage de montagnes et de mer. Un beau point de vue surélevé qui nous fait paraître les maisons bien petites.Cela ne doit pas ętre drôle en hiver ŕ cet endroit.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Viviane,

Your note is true about the increasing popularity of Lofoten. I had never heard of it prior to joining this site and have found it occurring more and more frequently.
Well, why not when you see scenes like this!
We can see grassland, colourful dwellings, blue water and high, majestic mountains, all in the same frame!! There is an excellent sense of depth as we descend to houses and then on to the snow-covered peaks, all very nicely detailed.
There really are some beautifully wild areas to be enjoyed!! No wonder you stopped!

Lots of hugs,
Bev :-)

Goedemiddag Viviane,

U toont ons werkelijk een mooi en groot panorama beeld.
De enkele huizen in de voor grond leiden ons tot over het water naar het fantastisch berglandschap.
Zo helder en mooi van kleuren.
Echt een pracht beeld. bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Viviane,
Beautiful landscape from the beginning of summer and endless daylight. Fresh greens, blue sea and mountains with some snow look all so good.

Hi Viviane
I wish I could 'like' all your recent shots, i chose this one because its so different from the usual. its so fun for me to see these landscapes without snow and Ice. Interesting to see the rocks jetting out from the water, must be hard to boats to navigate here, I wonder how many have hit rocks. Such a rustic and harsh landscape, and of course the mountains in the bg cap it all off. Of course we have to see a little red home on the bottom left :) awesome
cheers
Craig
