Utakleiv beach, Lofoten islands, Norway. I have never been to Utakleiv in sunny or calm weather. No matter if the there is not a single cloud to be seen over the whole of the islands, as soon as I go to Utakleiv some weather vortex brings in clouds.

Memurudalen (say that 10 times) is a scenic alpine valley that ends on the northern side of lake Gjende. The northern end of the valley rises into glaciers and mountains, from where the fast and cold Muru river flows.

From the end of July to the middle of August I was over in Norway. First two weeks were on the Lofoten Islands waiting out mostly bad weather for an elusive sun. The third week I was hiking among the mountains and lakes of Jotunheimen national park, where I was lucky and had lots of sun. All in all, it was a pretty productive trip.
That’s all for now (figured I needed to post something after 3 weeks of silence…). I’ll try and keep a more regular flow of images and words in the next weeks.
