Something nice....

Tonight I thought I should just put together some nice pictures I have collected over the last years.


Once again a picture from my favorite place in the world. Horseid beach in Lofoten. This place is just more than beautiful. The only way to get there is by foot, horse or boat.


The cod I stole from the seal in Lofoten

This picture is of a really big cod I stole from a seal last year. The story is kind of weird and amazing. I was kayaking and a seal was playing with a big fish about a 100 meters ahead. When it saw me it forgot about the fish which was damaged and didn't manage to get back in the deep. 


Well.. I paddled very quick over to the fish and grabbed it before the seal understood what happened. It got kind of annoyed because it followed us for about 15 minutes and was making loud irritated noises... Wow.. once in a lifetime experience....

This is taken two years ago, after a near death experience. I was kayaking alone in the Norwegian sea, far above the Arctic circle and while being a little unconcentrated my kayak went around and the kayak type I used for this trip is not of the ones you can just turn around and get the water out off by yourself. About 20-25 minutes later I managed to get up at a beach and after a few minutes I fell asleep totally exhausted. The water temp was about 8 degrees Celsius and I had only a very thin wetsuit (yes it was stupid). Took this picture when I woke up, just happy to be alive actually :)

I took this picture some years ago, they are so cute and are called the parrots of the Arctic. Very small and just plain cute...

Activity leader course kayak


Then everything starts to get ready for next weeks big event. My participation in the activity leader course in kayak in Lofoten the following week. I really look forward to it, and for sure I will take a lot of pictuers. After the course I will become licensed to give courses to people in kayakhandling, and issue "the wetcard/Våtkort" witch give you the right to rent kayaks anywhere in Scandinavia. The card give proof that you have the basic knowledge to "not do something stupid and drown" when you are experiencing the nature by kayak :)
