Tromsö - Norwegian blues

Driving around Tromsö, Håköya, Ersfjordbotn, Sommaröya, Hillesöya, Kvalöy, Lyngseidet and more.

  • Road warrior

    Driving across Håköya

  • The road to nothingness

    The single-lane bridge was not really made for meeting with another car.

    Bridge to Sommaröya

  • Coast guard

    This is just about as far west you can go without falling into the Atlantic ocean.

  • Absolute Norway

    Having a picnic at a fjord surrounded by mountains while listening to Bel Canto on phone speakers. It doesn't really get more Norway than that.

    Ersfjordbotn

  • Into the mist

    Lyngseidet

  • Blasts from the past

    The German battleship Tirpitz was finally sunk in November 1944 by Royal Air Force. Today small lakes have been formed from the large craters made by bombs that missed their targets.

  • Norwegian architecture

    Landslides are nasty business. This house was floating several hundred meters from its original location.

    Lyngseidet

  • Not the Opera house

    Arctic Cathedral in Tromsö

  • Domino dancing
