Here I write in loose sequence about our trip with an expedition ship from Hamburg to the arctic North Cape, along the old postal route of Norway. We left Hamburg on December 9 and we will be back in Hamburg again on December 23, 2022. We travel with the expedition ship "Otto Sverdrup" of Hurtigruten Expeditions. The arctic cold of Norway is a fascinating experience - even for a Swiss ;-)

On the lofoten islands there is no sunlight during several months in winter. During a few hours a day only, blue hours with pink colors illuminating the snow-white covered mountains - a paradise for photographers. Best time to capture the optimal light is in December around midday. From 2 o'clock in the afternoon it is dark again in Lofoten.
