Day coming to an end...

30 minutes after the blizzard!

After the blizzard.....

First pic taken in Sweden....

Farewell from Lofoten

Always think that everything is transient, then you will not be too happy in the
luck and not too sad in the grief.
(Sokrates)

a) Thinks are not always as bad as they seem
b) Thinks are not always as good as they seem
(Tought at tactical war college for situation analyzeses)

"Es gibt keine verzweifelten Situationen, es gibt nur verzweifelte Menschen.“ (Guderian)
"There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people. "
(Also thought there...excellent to recall at times school visits!)

By the way, thanks at this time to my photography teacher at High school, dont recall his name...

The worst way which one can choose, is not to choose at all.
(Friedrich II.)

Lofoten, small round trip, nice impressions

Complete new view.....

...of a Volleyball Beach court.

First serve....

....Sheep is in the net! Joke, hung it in there. No Joke, I ate Whale meat today! Was good! Noweigan say (bit zynical):"Intelligent People need intelligent food".

Way to Unstad, Lofoten....

...10 Km over icy roads, tunnels and ridges.

Arctic Surfers Paradise.....

...this place is called, Unstad the name, caught it on a very calm day

Next stop.....

...America! No wonder the Vikings discovered America (Vinland)...braveness, discipline, curiosity and travel urge this sky is calling for.

Nightfall, thanks to the friends far away and their patience!

...and apologizes for being a bit bothering....

...and awfully demanding at times!

Bodö Harbour

What I ask for, acceleration to meet the lowest point of a sinus curve in order to be on the rise again.....peu a peu rising, but fall backs due occur. Succesful day, managed to get out of bed.

From Trondheim to Bodö (2300 Km so far traveled)

The Polar Circle sky.

(Love consists in the fact not that one looks at each other, but that one sees in the same direction. A. de Saint Exupery )

Northward bound.....

....wish I was going home, home with my thoughts escaping, home where my.... lies waiting silently for me....

The Polar-Circle

Fools say that they learn by experience, I prefer to profit by others' experience. (Bismarck)

So, at the Polar-Circle.....

..there is no food but a bench and a tree? (who finds a tree there gets a great of Beer from me!)

Wildlife encounter....

One Kilometer before the Polar-Circle.....

.....wish I could have shared.

Unreal....

....but true.

Going North....

...the light is changeing.

From Stavanger to Trondheim

Auch ist das vielleicht nicht eigentlich Liebe, wenn ich sage, daß Du mir das Liebste bist; Liebe ist, daß Du mir das Messer bist, mit dem ich in mir wühle. (Kafka)
(Also it is maybe not actually love, if I say that you are the darling to me; love is that you are to me the knife, with which I dig in myself.)

Dichtung ist immer nur eine Expedition nach der Wahrheit. (Kafka)
(Poetry is always only an expedition after the truth.)

For someone...

Sadness.....

....is only a temporary state, mostly based on egoism

Nur der verdient sich Freiheit wie das Leben,...

......der täglich sie erobern muß. (Goethe)

First Snow (beside the Sheep), the clouds promise..

...more to come

Die beste Bildung findet ein gescheiter Mensch auf Reisen. (Goethe)

.....the rain is gone....

it's gonna be a clear sunshiney day....for a while at least.......,"Immer Sonnenschein ist Nimmer Sonnenschein"

Norweigan Art? Or recycling?

First Sunray on this trip.....

...reminds me of someone I know, " a mountain resting in it self"

The Blue Fjord

Stormy weather up ahead?

........sceptical sheep.......

Schöne Aussichten

End of the Ferry ride....

...new light...neuer Weg

Successful day, managed to get up!

Like Hitchkocks "Birds", but where is grace....

Centre of town, in dayligth this time....
