Nick Kontostavlakis: Μy last trip to Norway during February, 2017. The Lofoten Archipelago is spread on the northwest side of Norway, very close to the borders of the Arctic Circle. It is a cluster of small fishing villages and is often called “the Foot of the lynx” because of its shape. The islands are full of legends, maybe because of their natural beauty and their mysterious landscapes, or maybe because there the Sun either never rises or never sets. The only thing you can hear is the thousand voices of birds, the wind and the sound of the sea. That combination of the landscape which comes into view every morning and the sounds of nature is a priceless experience that fills you with energy and inspiration for the whole day, no matter what you have to face.

Amazing beauty!!
What an otherworldly beauty! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Yes!
We’ve been there in the summer, a few years ago. A wonderful landscape, inhabited by so friendly and open minded people. They seem to celebrate every moment; summer is too short to spend it with anger. If you see this film, you see a complete different country, a different world. Watching this stunned me. Thanks for sharing, David.
Have a good time.
Yes, so agree with your Christine. Your comment reminds me of:
Sweat the small stuff.
Put energy into your loved ones,
into the values which matter to you.
Spend time in nature.
Drink in the seasons.
Enjoy the weather, every type of it.
Yes, live frugally.
Marry for love, not for money.
Do work that carries meaning.
Save for the future.
Realize one day you’ll be old.
