That first picture is from Norway. A place called "Prekestolen", meaning "the pulpit". Great place. I've been there several times when I was in my 20s. Once I spent the night there, we pitched a tent just to the right of the picture. Sat drinking a beer with our feet dangling over the edge. 604 meters straight down. I would never dare it today.

I've never been to Lofoten myself, but my wife has been there several times. She wants us to rent a cabin up there. Would be a great trip. The midnight sun, great scenery and great fishing.

I was there a couple of summers ago, based in Tromsö but sailed around the islands. It's certainly not far from the top of my list of the most stunning places on Earth.

My father-in-law rows around in Lofoten every summer in a traditional open boat. He's with three other friends for one week every summer. They started several years ago, and originally set out from Bergen. They rowed north along the coast for one week, and then found somewhere to store the boat for a year. It is impressive how many nice people that have found who could store the boat for them. In return, they give concerts (they are all good singers) for the people they meet. A couple of years ago, they reached Lofoten. One year, by pure chance, they ended up at the house of a guy my father-in-law did his army service with in 1968! They hadn't seen each other since 1969, and none of them had any idea of where the other one lived.

They originally wanted to reach the North Cape, but decided to stop in Lofoten, after they found a museum that wanted to have their boat on display for the 51 weeks of the year it was not in use. The museum takes care of it, and my father-in-law and his buddies get to use it whenever they want to. All four of them love the area, so they are quite happy to stay in Lofoten.

Love boats and the sea in general...

My dream is to one day move to Scotland, from whence our family came in 1743...then so many of these fabulous detonations won't be quite so far away....
