Winter in TrænaThree rare Træna features in one picture - no wind, lots of snow and the Sun. Due to the open sea from all sides, it’s usually quite windy if not stormy. Due to the Gulf stream the temperatures rarely drop below freezing and snow doesn’t last more than a few days. And number of cloudy days outweigh the sunny ones. But when all chances align, it’s pure bliss.
Winter in Træna
The lightThe light (when there is some) on and above the Arctic Circle is just special. The island of Lovund in the distance as seen from the airspace of Træna archipelago, Northern Norway.
Sauna on the edge of the North AtlanticAn Artist in Residence project in Træna, Norway, 33 nautical miles off the mainland, that resulted in a sauna, at the edge of the North Atlatic. It’s not the easiest place on earth to get to, but you won’t regret taking the trip there when sitting by the stove, pouring heated water over you and looking out at the Atlantic ocean.
CalmscapeThere are landscapes, starscapes, cityscapes, all kinds of scapes. This is a calmscape - a view one can stare into for an extended amount of time and become calm in the process. A sunny windless winter day with air so clear one can easily see Norway’s mountains 60km in distance from Træna islands works perfectly for this.

Nordic danceNorthern lights over the iconic island of Sanna, Træna archipelago, 60km off Norwegian coast with a salmon farm in foreground. I was a cold and windy night as it is in these parts of Norway during winter.

TrænstavenThe magical Trænstaven mountain in Norwegian Træna archipelago on the Arctic Circle raising 337m above sea and reaching towards the northern sky.
Helgeland, NorwayIs it Hawaii? Or Maldives? Maybe French Polynesia? No - it’s Norway’s Helgeland at it’s best! Would love to snorkel in those turquoise waters in the summer. The shot was taken flying the drone quite far out in the sea which is alway nerve-racking due to various birds and wind gusts that are common here. Also had to play catch-up with the fog since it was a very short moment between rainy and clear weather. It lasted 20 minutes at most.

HelgelandThere are thousands of islands on the Helgeland coast (Norway) and navigating through them takes a special skill.
