Dare to Dream
A runaway to a dream location, the islands and fjords of Lofoten. A chance to get away from normal life and lead a simpler version.
The villages hug the sides of the fjords, with cottages in traditional colours. White paint, the most expensive signified the most wealthy, with red the poorest, often found in the fishing communities.
Stormy skies are common, hugging the hillsides. The weather comes in quickly and can surprise you if you are not careful. It gives moody images.
Deep on the islands is a traditional glass-blower, who incorporates the icons of the islands and its fishing heritage. It is a privilege to watch him work.
