Lofoten and Västerålen
Norway
Lofoten are known for the mountains that go from the sea to the clouds... There is a lot of small lakes with around some red houses. Some of these houses have grass on the roof. Along the lofoten coast (Here, Moskenes islands), there is some bays with a small harbour in each bay (å, Tind, Sorvågen...). These villages are between the sea and the mountains. The rorbus are some fisher houses in the Lofoten islands. They were used only in winter time when the fishermen were coming from the south to fish. Bridges are one of the way to circulate between the islands in the Lofoten. Other possibilities are ferries and underwater tunnel.
Vesterålen are islands on the north eats of the Lofoten. Mountains start to be bigger and bigger and more "lofoten Like". There are also more and more red houses near the sea.

Photo of the week
The day before in Mora
The first sunday of March is nearly a national fest for swedish people. It closed the Vasaloppet week with the very famous Vasaloppet.
Vasaloppet is both a fest and a 90 km race between Sälen and Mora in Dalecarly.
About 16000 people participates to the races and there is about the same amount that are on the side of the track.
People starts to arrive at 6 in the morning to put their ski in the track of the start group they belong to. These groups are determined with help of previous results in ski races. The temperature is then about -20°C and everybody leaves the skis there and run near one of the fire to warm.
At 08, after a common warming-up, it starts quite slowly because there is a bottle neck just after the start.
There is food and drink available every 10-15 km and after 90 km, it is the goal: Mora, where everybody will say "Never, Never again". A resolution that will disapear a few days after when it will remain only the good side of this race.
