#Lødingen

[daily-coat-of-arms]

Lødingen, Ofoten, Nordland, Norway (May 11, 1984-Today)

The arms represent a wool knot that looks like a flower. The five petals represent it being the junction between the municipalitys: Lofoten, Ofoten, Salten, Vesterålen, and Southern Troms. It is also between five fjords: Vestfjorden, Ofotfjorden, Tysfjorden, Tjeldsundet, and Gullesfjorden. The symbol is also a symbol of good luck.

Samisk familie: Inga-familien ved lavvo i 1890-åra. / A Sami indigenous northern European family in Norway around 1900.

NO/ 

Inga-familien rundt 1896.

De som i dag driver med rein på Hinnøy-delen av Andøy har dype røtter i området. Dette bildet ble tatt, trolig i 1896, i Kanstadfjord-området. De to voksne til venstre er Ingrid, f. Sarri, og ektemannen Nils Andersen Inga. Disse to er opphav til reindriftsfamilien Inga i Kvalshaug i Sortland. Foran seg har de barna Berit, gift med Jon Andersen i Kvalshaug, og broren Ole Nilsen. Begge hadde sommertilhold gjennom mange år i Forfjorden i området ved Finnsæterholman. Den voksne damen til høyre er Ellen, søster av Ingrid Sarri.  Foran seg har hun barna Inger Anna og Tomas. Inger Anna ble gift Fjelldal, og er opphav til reindriftsfamilien Hansen fra Kanstad i Lødingen. En av sønnene derfra, Peder Hansen (Buljo), som er oldebarn av Inger Anna, har bosatt seg på Medby i Andøy.

Fotografiet er i seg selv unikt. Det ble gjenfunnet i arkivet til den amerikanske kongressen, og var tatt som fargefoto(!) (Klikk på bildet for forstørrelse).

Tour de Norway

Visit Norway’s CV-19 slogan has been; Dream now, visit later. 

To my international friends, when we can travel freely again, you're in for a treat. To my fellow Norwegians, why, oh why did I wait so long to travel in Norway? And if your´re visiting North of Norway this summer, please go to some of these places. 

Norway went on lockdown March 12th. I returned from the US March 14th. After three weeks of quarantine and several weeks thereafter of wfh, I needed some air under my traveling wings. I talked to my sister about it, and told her about my plans to travel to Stokmarknes in the county of Nordland during the summer, to visit our cousin. She said; If we go before the kids school year ends, I´ll go with you. I quickly decided I might as well move my work day to a rolling office, so on June 10th, we left Grimstad en route to the North. 

First stop was set for Trondheim in Trøndelag county, a 10h drive. We arrived right before dinner time, checked into our hotel (very standard Comfort chain hotel) and had dinner at the Sunny Side (Solsiden). It was a very warm evening and I pretended that my spritz and pizza was enjoyed at an Italian piazza (where I was supposed to spend my summer). We happened to run into a colleague of mine, so that extra glass of wine with him, made the next day 8h drive and rolling office a tad more tiring than was supposed to.

The next day, after a quick stroll around Trondheim to look at the cathedral and the old town, we set out for our next target: Korgfjellet. We had some moose cakes for dinner, very traditional style and went for a walk. As we are by this point getting closer to the land of the midnight sun, the views continued to be breathtaking throughout the whole evening. It turned out we were the only guests, and even the staff left at night, so we were completely alone. If it hadn't been for the fact that the sun is up all night, it would have been slightly creepy. The Blood Road traverse the mountain and is a tragic and horrible story I knew little about. If you are traveling in these parts on Norway, you can visit Nordlandsmuseet and learn more about the history. 

We were not aware of this museum when traveling, so the next day we continued our drive towards Stokmarknes. We drove across Saltfjellet and crossed the Polar Circle  with the sun shining all the way. We were in awe from the moment we left Korgfjellet until we arrived at our first ferry ride from Bognes to Lødingen. If we weren´t already in awe, the scenery opening up as we traversed the Ofotfjord left us speechless. The water was completely still and we were rewarded with our first glimpse of Lofoten. The drive towards Vesterålen kept the oohs and aahs rolling and I think this picture speaks for itself.

Arving in Stokmarknes we quickly showered and dressed an went to my cousin and her friends house to celebrate her 28th birthday. It was extremely hot, and not really what we had expected on our first trip to the North. The next day, we went hiking to Husbykollen, where you get 360 degrees of views of the entire Vesterålen. Coming down, the only sensible thing to do was to go for a swim. I cannot stress enough how lucky we were with the weather. Even though I'm a all year ocean swimmer, I had not expected to be able to swim and sunbathe on the wonderful beaches. At times we were not sure if we were on a secluded beach in Thailand....

In the evening, we visited the wonderful Kvitnes Gård, that you can read about here.  Sunday, Lofoten was our next stop. We left early afternoon and had a stopover in Svolvær to enjoy some excellent mussels at Bacalao. 

Oh, I forgot to mention that before we left Stokmarkes we went for a morning walk and the clear waters was so tempting that we just had to have a little dip in the ocean. The poor sheep grassing around the area was in for a treat, and I think a painter would have captured the moment in “The three Nudes”.

Sunday evening, we arrived at Sakrisøy Rorbuer, and again had the crazy experience of being all alone. It is with mixed feelings we got to experience this part of Norway with no other tourists. It was mid-June, and it should've been almost impossible to get reservations and a spot on the ferries etc., but we also enjoyed the experience. We had a quiet evening alone, went for a walk among the dry fish and I had to have a dip in the ocean again. Just a few steps outside the door to our cabin. 

The next morning, we left very early with the ferry from Moskenes to Bodø. In Bodø, we only made a quick stop at Berbusmel bakery to stock up on bread and other baked goods, and then we had timed our drive down Helgeland so not to miss any ferries. We spent one night at Havblikk and enjoyed a late dinner of fantastic local halibut. Unfortunately, our drive down the coast was very foggy, so to our surprise, the next day the fog had lifted so our drive towards Vega was yet another breathtaking experience. We even managed to have a quick stop to eat breakfast infront of the The Seven Sisters before we had to make it to the one and only ferry leaving for Vega that day. Again, we had a completely calm journey across the sea, and when we arrived at Vega, we were not disappointed. If we had known in advance that we should've booked two nights, we would have done so. So that is my recommendation. Stay at least two nights.

We had booked one night at Vega Havhotell, where a five course dinner by owner Aga was waiting for us in the evening. But first, we had to see a bit more of Vega, and drove to Vega World Heritage site to rent bikes. After an amazing fish soup (with freshly caught sea trout!!!!!) at the restaurant, we biked 20km to Eidem beach and had a swim in the ocean unlike any we have ever experienced. You should just go and see for yourselves. The 20km bike ride back left us sore and tired, but we managed to shower and change and sit down promptly for the nights five course dinner of locally sourced deliciousness. Halibut, more fresh sea trout, lamb and strawberries was on the menu. Content and happy we went to bed that night watching the midnight sun as it dipped gently into the ocean and played with the surface of the water. 

Again, you would want to stay one extra night at least at Vega, but we had to start our drive back down towards the South. Røros was to be our one overnight stop on the way. My sister had visited Røros when she was a little girl, this was my first time. We had booked a room at Vertshuset Røros, an utterly charming place! This was also the best breakfast of the trip, AND the best bed of the trip. The next day, and almost 3500km later, we were back to where we started in Grimstad.

It was truly an amazing trip even though I think my sister was a bit tired of my rolling office and endless calls. But in the end the only thing we remember was the food, the scenery, the refreshing dips in the ocean, the friendship and the endless midnight sun. 

If you dream of traveling Norway, I highly recommend it. We also had a quick stop in Mosjøen of 10 minutes that was really pretty, and a few other stop along the way we didn't have time to explore - so we will be back for more.

Kabelvag, Market Square, Cubus, 2001

The design of the central square by the harbor as a market square was inspired from traditional Norwegian motives. The pavement was built with site-specific materials, granite from Lødingen Koppensteiner and pebbles coming from Lofoten beaches. For the lighting of the spaces were specially chosen QL lights for the main lamps, fiber optic for traffic barriers and gaps between pavement surfaces. Cubus published in summer 2001 a book about the project: "Braking the Waves", that eventually among the main things to promote Kabelvag as a place.

A look out over Nordbotn.

“Botn” is the Norwegian word for the geological feature called a cirque. It’s also a common place name suffix in the country.
