Lofoten Day 7
Day 7 – after breakfast we had an hour of comparing photo-processing programs and workflow. The group was interested in comparing the possibilities because we had different programs so it was possible to do direct comparisons with the same picture. So we put some into checking things out. After lunch we started again towards south. The street sign you can see is really funny if you speak german. ‚Links‘ is german for ‚left‘. So if you see a sign something with ‚links/left‘ but it points to the right that is funny. 😉
We stopped at the red house again. We had been there the first day but someone had just put up a fence -probably to have his sheep feed there. The fence was in front of the house so it was would have disturbed our photos. Second try – and it worked. What is a bit strange is that a car parked next to our van and he came over and talked to me. I didn’t understand him well but from what I gather he wanted to know if we were from a paper – which we were not. He wished us a nice day and was friendly but I am not sure why he stayed until we left as well. Maybe he wanted to make sure that we stayed on the street to take our pics and not walk over the grass in front of the house which is used for feeding sheep and we could have damaged it. Weird…
Then we went to Haukland beach which is used by surfers because it sometimes has good waves for them. I knew that we were trying to take pics of how the water is flowing around the stones. Took me until we had left to realize only then that it would have been much more interesting to do that when behind the stones you see the mountains. 😉 But for that I would have had to go over the stones and that is something I am not yet able to do. On the last pics you see the rain coming in and when it started to rain we knew that it was time to quit for the day because it was not stopping for sunset.
