Small fishing outpost - many are set up to allow tourists to rent out the old fishing shacks.
Dried cod. Many of the buildings in the Lofoten Islands are painted red. The red paint used to be made with fish blood and cod oil.
Drying racks for cod are everywhere in the Lofoten Islands. They catch the cod in February and dry them during the winter months. When dried, the cod can be used as a weapon!
Henningsvaer in the Lofoten Islands. We took a bus tour out the fishing village of Hennigsvaer, then rejoined our ship at Stamsund before the long passage east to Bodo and the mainland while we slept. Actually while we tried to sleep as the waves pounded the ship.
Fireweed is everywhere!
