#lofoten — Public Fediverse posts

Cod is king in Lofoten. It's everywhere and not just hidden away on racks on a rock either. In the middle of towns the boats unload and fish is hung in the sub-zero air and the pristine winter landscape is imbued with the scent of oily cod.

There's something about it all that I really really love :)

When I first visited here over a decade ago this scene in Lofoten was empty. Nobody came in the winter, except for a few silly photographers like Bruce Percy, and then me.

With each year the doubled and doubled. By 2020 it was a traffic jam on the Hamnøy bridge, shoulder to shoulder tripods and elbows.

One of the great challenges with working in a moody duotone series is what happens when the sun comes out?

Because that's a very common thing in the Arctic winter, and a special thing. Standing knee deep in powder snow with the sun flooding into the fjord is just magic.
