"For det er kun lykken der er sund for kroppen;men det er sorgen der udvikler åndens kræfter.Selv om sorgen ikke hver gang havde givet én indsigti en ny lov, ville den i øvrigt ikke være mindre uundværligmed hensyn til at konfrontere én med sandhedenog tvinge én til at tage tingene alvorligt ved hver gangat rykke vanens, skepticismens, letfærdighedensog ligegyldighedens ukrudt op."– På sporet af den tabte tid; Den genfundne tid, bind 13, s. 64.Når det, der ikke må ske, alligevel sker – når sorgen rammer med fuld kraft og livet for altid forandres – hvad gør vi så? I denne podcast møder du Neal Ashley Condrad, forfatter, litterat og far, der en tidlig morgen får den ubærlige besked: Hans datter er død på et fjeld i Lofoten. Samtalen tager udgangspunkt i det øjeblik, hvor alt vælter, og undersøger, hvordan man overhovedet kan leve videre, når det utænkelige bliver virkelighed.Podcasten kredser om, hvordan sorgen ikke blot er en byrde, men også kan blive en drivkraft for udvikling af åndens kræfter. Gennem kunsten – litteratur, billeder, ord og kreativitet – finder Neal en vej til at forstå, rumme og transformere smerten. Samtalen undersøger, hvordan kunsten kan give sprog til det usigelige og åbne for nye indsigter, netop når livet føles meningsløst.Med afsæt i personlige erfaringer, filosofiske refleksioner og stærke litterære citater, diskuterer podcasten:Hvad sker der med os, når vi mister det dyrebareste?Hvordan kan kunsten hjælpe os med at bære og bearbejde sorgen?Hvordan former sorgen og kunsten vores åndelige styrke og menneskelige dybde?

Kanskje vi finner noe spesielt."En: "There's a path. Maybe we'll find something special."No: Leif nølte.En: Leif hesitated.No: "Det er ikke på ruten vår. Vi vet ikke hvor det fører."En: "It's not on our route. We don't know where it leads."No: "Ja, men det er jo det som er spennende!" svarte Sigrid med et smil, så lys som den gryende våren rundt dem.En: "Yes, but that's what's exciting!" replied Sigrid with a smile as bright as the budding spring around them.No: Til slutt ga Leif etter.En: Finally, Leif relented.No: Han svingte bilen inn på den smale, umerkede veien.En: He turned the car onto the narrow, unmarked road.No: Begge var stille en stund, og kun lyden av grus under dekkene kunne høres.En: Both were quiet for a while, and only the sound of gravel under the tires could be heard.No: Veien krøllet seg inn i skogen, vekk fra de travle veiene.En: The road curled into the forest, away from the busy roads.No: Da de nærmet seg slutten av stien, åpenbarte en bortgjemt perle seg foran dem.En: As they approached the end of the path, a hidden gem revealed itself before them.No: En avsidesliggende strand strakte seg ut, omfavnet av høye klipper på den ene siden og det uendelige, blå havet på den andre.En: A secluded beach stretched out, embraced by high cliffs on one side and the endless, blue sea on the other.No: Solen var i ferd med å gå ned, sendte et kaleidoskop av rødoransje og lilla nyanser over himmelen og refleksene danset på vannet.En: The sun was setting, casting a kaleidoscope of red-orange and purple hues across the sky, and reflections danced on the water.No: "Fantastisk," hvisket Leif, tapt i øyeblikket.En: "Amazing," whispered Leif, lost in the moment.No: Sigrids kamera fanget scenen, men ingen av de to kunne slutte å beundre synet foran dem.En: Sigrid's camera captured the scene, but neither of them could stop admiring the sight in front of them.No: De satte seg sammen på stranden, hørte bølgene som rolig kom og gikk.En: They sat together on the beach, listening to the waves calmly coming and going.No: "Jeg skjønner nå," sa Leif til slutt.En: "I understand now," Leif said finally.No: "Det er noe spesielt med å ikke vite hva som kommer.En: "There's something special about not knowing what's coming.No: Jeg liker det."En: I like it."No: Sigrid smilte.En: Sigrid smiled.No: "Noen ganger må man bare følge hjertet, ikke kartet."En: "Sometimes you just have to follow your heart, not the map."No: De satt der til mørket begynte å senke seg, stille og full av undring.En: They sat there until darkness began to fall, silent and full of wonder.No: Det var ikke lenger noen hast med å returnere til de kjente veiene.En: There was no longer any rush to return to the familiar roads.No: Leif hadde oppdaget gleden ved å omfavne det ukjente, ved å la eventyret lede dem.En: Leif had discovered the joy of embracing the unknown, of letting adventure lead them.No: Reisen var ikke lenger bare en plan; den var blitt en reise fylt med nye oppdagelser og åpenbaringer, og for begge betydde det en ny begynnelse.En: The journey was no longer just a plan; it had become a voyage filled with new discoveries and revelations, and for both, it meant a new beginning.

Für Naturliebhaber sind sie eines der Traumziele in Norwegen: die Lofoten. Die kleine Inselgruppe, rund 200 Kilometer nördlich vom Polarkreis, vereint gewaltige Bergformationen, malerische Fischerdörfer und fast schon karibische Strände. Doch Norwegens Inseljuwel bietet auf rund 80 Inseln noch mehr als eine beeindruckende Landschaft und Tierwelt. NDR-Reporter Johannes Koch hat die Inselgruppe besucht und ganz unterschiedliche Orte und Menschen erlebt. Anker Franzen zum Beispiel – der 23-jährige Lofotinger gehört zu den besten Surfern Norwegens. Seinen Eltern gehört das nördlichste Surfcamp der Welt. Außerdem begleiten wir den Fischer Geir Halvard Nilssen. Geir fährt jeden Tag raus in die Fjorde und lehrt seine Netze. Schon als kleiner Junge lernte er das Fischen und er merkt: Seit immer mehr Touristen auf die Lofoten kommen, verändert sich seine Heimat und seine Lebensgrundlage. Doch die Lofoten sind nicht nur ein Paradies für Sportler und Naturliebhaber. In dieser Folge „Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti“ besuchen wir auch eine alte Lebertran-Fabrik, die inzwischen zu einem kulturellen Treffpunkt umgebaut wurde. Junge Menschen aus der ganzen Region treffen sich dort für Konzerte, Workshops und zum Feiern. Inzwischen kommen auch Kulturschaffende aus aller Welt.

Det er februar og det fyrer på Jæren, men hvordan står det egentlig til med våre stakkars venner i nord på Unstad i Lofoten? Har de egentlig noe å vise til om dagen? Innehaveren av verdens nordligste surfesjappe, Kristian Breivik aka onkel Frost, svarer - og det ser ikke bra ut. Musikk av Daniel Malo og Freddy French Fries.

I veckans avsnitt av ”Så in i Själen” har jag bjudit in Ebonita Baldeh. Ebonita är bl a konstnär och författare till boken SÅLD – Min väg tillbaka. Kanske såg ni henne i programmet Lerin på Lofoten. Där berättar Ebonita om att hon på sin sexårsdag såldes för sex, av en man som var vän till familjen, och det bara var starten på ett extremt utnyttjande av många män - och kvinnor - under många, långa år. Ebonita har konfronterat både sina föräldrar och sin förövare. Hon frågar bland annat sin förövare varför han valde just henne som sitt offer. Han svarar att han kunde se sprickan mellan henne och hennes föräldrar, vilket gjorde det enkelt för honom att ta sig in och vidga sprickan än mer. Ebonita har förlåtit dem alla tre, förlåtit för att kunna gå vidare. Som kvinna och mamma har jag svårt att ta in det Ebonita berättar. Men det är viktigt att inte blunda - för Ebonita är långt ifrån ensam. Det är också viktigt att prata om att, och hur, hon har kunnat resa sig stark i kärlek och förlåtelse.

“  I want the guests to feel that the hosting at this place is very personal. And as for the restaurant, that it's cozy, that it's a good atmosphere, that it's popular and unfussy. Of course, the food and the drinks should be good. I want guests to feel that they still are coming to a home and a house where it's good to just be.”  We're in great company with Monica Gjesdahl, the creative mind and general manager behind Vertshuset Konow, a stately, yet unassuming inn just outside of Bergen. Here, so many good experiences are gathered in one place - paired with good stories and good food, loved by locals and travelers alike.  What was once a family villa built in 1929 by the famous architect Frederik Konow Lund, is now known as Bergen's smallest yet ever so popular hotel - housing tastefully decorated suites, a cozy seasonal restaurant, and a calendar full of events and experiences.  In this episode, Monica shares so many bites worth savoring - from career words of wisdom, to travel tips and tricks around Norway, to dreams for Konow and its growing community.    Top Takeaways [2:00] How Monica's love of travel and passion for creating experiences finally pushed her to become a host herself, and all it took was a conversation over coffee.     [6:20] What was once a countryside villa built by a famous Norwegian Architect, Frederik Konow Lund back in 1929, housed many fond memories for the Rieber family - which they still reminisce about today as guests of Vertshuset Konow.  [11:20] Today, the architecture of Konow has been preserved and modernized with the highest quality interiors, making it “a stately yet unassuming inn,” with its luxury amenities and rich decorations - as no expense was spared, no detail left unturned.  [14:20] Just outside the window, guests can find a peaceful escape, where a short walk through the forest down to the boathouse opens up a world of opportunities - from swimming to kayaking to sauna-ing, and more.  [14:45] Expect to Dine In Good Company at Konow's unpretentious yet ever so popular restaurant, offering a weekend bakery and brunch, and a stellar wine and cider cellar - where good hospitality, good food and drink is a given.

“Because that's also something that's quite important is that you have time. You don't go to Nusfjord to stay one night. You need at least a couple of nights to actually understand where you are and get a feel of where you are. And I've been in quite a lot of different hotels which have a high level of luxury with marble and gold. But being here, actually just feeling the ambience and getting that serene, quiet feeling - that is luxury.” We're in great company with Renate Johansen and Fred Anton Ravenberg of Nusfjord Village & Resort, set in a traditional fishing village in the breathtaking Lofoten Islands of Norway, where dramatic seas meet towering mountains, where a spirit of exploration fills the air. Here at Nusfjord, Renate is the Guest Relations Manager and Fred is the General Manager, inviting travelers to uncover and enjoy extraordinary moments by bringing a taste of modern comfort to a place bursting with heritage and soul.   In this episode, as we settle into the conviviality of the holiday season, many of us may dream about a place such as Nusfjord, offering a refuge of warmth and hospitality amidst the wild landscapes of the Lofoten Islands.  Personally speaking, having just returned from this special place poised on the fringes of the world, I can say it is truly a destination to experience the power of nature and the perspective it gives you.  Top Takeaways [4:20] To understand the serene setting amidst this rugged landscape, we must go back in time to 425 BC when the earliest settlements in Nusfjord began - making this fishing village one of Norway's oldest and best preserved fishing villages. [11:05] There is adventure abound at Nusfjord “where the spirit of exploration fills the air in the wild landscapes of Lofoten, offering a refuge of warmth and hospitality.” From fishing expeditions by morning to hiking under the midnight sun, from taking in the winter views from the sauna windows to a polar night search of the skies for Northern Lights.  [12:30] Stay in the authentic rorbu cabins nestled in the village or around the peaceful harbor where modern comfort is in season year round. And for those looking for privacy, discover the seclusion of the Værier's original residence or the Isolated Fisherman's island cabin.  [17:45] The impact slow and sustainable travel can make on the preservation of a historical village such as Nusfjord and the livelihoods of the local community as employees and suppliers, and the importance of year round offerings to dilute seasonality.  [23:00] Dine across Nusfjord's café, tavern and restaurant where Arctic gastronomy is served at its finest, framed in majestic natural surroundings, and paired with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.  [25:30] The future of Nusfjord is bright with holiday lights, warm with candles, sweet with treats, and scents of Christmas trees abound as the village and travelers alike celebrate what the New Year will bring.  Notable Mentions Norwegian Christmas Culinary Traditions - “lutefisk” with potatoes, peas and bacon or crisp pork belly with sauerkraut and potatoes, both paired perfectly with “akvavit”  The history of Landandelen Visit For Yourself Nusfjord Website | @nusfjordvillageandresort Stay In Good Company Website

Corren tiempos duros para nuestros amigos valencianos así que desde el podcast de la Academia de Fotógrafos mandamos todo nuestro apoyo y solidaridad a todos los damnificados y, por supuesto, nuestro más sentido pésame a los familiares de las víctimas. Por otro lado, yo me encontraba en las islas Lofoten con un grupo de fotógrafos con los que he pasado una semana de lo más entretenida y quienes os van a contar en primera persona cómo es un viaje formativo a esta región de Noruega. Un abrazo, buenas fotos y… ¡dentro podcast!

Det er mange myter og fortellinger om Sverre Fehn og hans prosjekter. Men hvordan vet vi egentlig det vi vet om Norges mest kjente og inflytelsesrike arkitekt? Erik Langdalen og Mari Lending har skrevet boka Sverre Fehn, Nordic Pavilion, Venice, og i denne episoden snakker vi om Sverre Fehn og hvem han var, basert på de kildene som har dukket opp i prosessen med å skrive boka.  Sverre Fehn (1924–2009) var en av Norges mest innflytelsesrike arkitekter og en nøkkelperson i skandinavisk modernisme. Han er kjent for sitt arbeid som kombinerer modernistiske prinsipper med en dyp forståelse for landskap og historie. Fehn studerte ved Arkitektlinjen på Statens håndverks- og kunstindustriskole i Oslo og var en av de ledende figurene innen norsk arkitektur etter andre verdenskrig. Hans arbeid kjennetegnes av en subtil balanse mellom tradisjon og modernitet, og han brukte ofte naturlige materialer som tre og stein i sine bygg. Fehn vant Pritzker-prisen i 1997, som er en av de mest prestisjefylte utmerkelsene innen arkitektur. Han underviste også i mange år som professor ved Arkitekthøyskolen i Oslo. Gjennom sin karriere skapte Fehn en rekke ikoniske bygninger som fortsatt blir hyllet for sin tidløse kvalitet og innovative bruk av rom og lys. Mari Lending er professor i arkitekturteori- og historie, og blant grunnleggerne av OCCAS (Oslo Centre for Critical Architectural Studies). Hun var seniorforsker i Place and Displacement: Exhibiting Architecture og The Printed and the Built: Architecture and Public Debate in Modern Europe (begge NFR-finansiert). I det EU-finansierte HERA-prosjektet Printing the Past (PriArc) var hun ansvarlig for Images of Egypt, som resulterte i utstillingen ved samme navn på Historisk Museum, Oslo, høsten 2018 og boken Images of Egypt (Pax, 2018), med Tim Anstey og Eirik Bøhn. Hun er forfatter av monografien Plaster Monuments. Architecture and the Power of Reproduction (Princeton University Press, 2017), med Peter Zumthor, A Feeling of History (Zürich: Scheidegger & Spiess, 2018), og Sverre Fehn, Nordic Pavilion, Venice. Voices from the Archives, with Erik Langdalen (Lars Müller/Pax, 2021). Lending er magister i litteraturvitenskap med en avhandling om Marcel Proust (Universitetet i Oslo, 1997) og har sin doktorgrad fra AHO (2005). Fra 2005–09 arbeidet hun med postdokprosjektet Modernism on Display. Hun har vært gjesteforsker ved GSD, Harvard University, Columbia University og Yale School of Architecture. (Kilde: AHO.no). Erik Fenstad Langdalen er Professor og Instituttleder ved Institutt for form, teori og historie. Han er ansvarlig for skolens bygningsarv-program og underviser eksperimentelle masterkurs innen vern og gjenbruk med et fokus på «nyere fortid»: etterkrigsarkitektur, betongbyggeri og masseproduksjon mm. Hans arkitekturpraksis (www.eriklandalen.no) konsentrere seg om restaurering og gjenbruk av historiske trebygninger, og han er selv eier av en fredet gård på Dovre som drives som kultursenter (www.budsjord.no). Siden 1999 har han arbeidet med en rekke utstillinger, museer og boligprosjekter, og han vant nylig en konkurranse for Nasjonale turistveger i Lofoten. Erik Langdalen har sin diplom fra Arkitekthøgskolen i Oslo og en Master in Science in Advanced Architectural Design fra Columbia University GSAPP. (Kilde: AHO.no).

Badgers, It's been a little while since our last conversation, but I've been a bit preoccupied. I think most of you will be aware that poor Producer Harriet has been persuaded to go on another adventure in our trusty campervan. This time, we've gone north. About as far north as you can go really. It took almost 2 weeks but we finally drove from our home in Hoylake to the Arctic Circle, and then on to the famous course of Lofoten Links. I've been doing daily vlogs on my YouTube Channel, so please subscribe here to catch up on the vlogs to date and to see the rest of the journey. We've still got a long way before we're back in Blighty! But while up there I was delighted when Jerry Mulvihill, the course manager of Lofoten, agreed to sit down and record an episode of the podcast. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation about one of golf's most extraordinary places. Jerry is such a terrific bloke, so passionate about the course and his beautiful corner of the world. I think his passion comes through so clearly and hopefully it'll inspire you to put Lofoten on your golfing bucket list. Thanks as ever for listening, sharing, subscribing to and supporting the podcast in every way you do. We've got some good episodes lined up for when I'm back off the adventures so keep tuned in. Speak soon! Sam

This week's episode welcomes back one of the show's oldest friends, artic photographer and northern lights expert Dave Williams. Dave permanently lives and works in the Lofoten Islands, 200 miles north of the arctic circle in northern Norway. His brand new venture ‘Lofoten Insights' offers unique photo opportunities throughout Lofoten, from northern lights to reindeers, breathtaking landscapes, kayaking and much more in one of the most beautiful places in the world.#landscapephotography #northernlights #lofoten******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights:  www.camerashakepodcast.com******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK'S LINKS:INTERESTED IN THE LOFOTEN VIKING PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP?https://www.idavewilliams.com/trainingDave Williams on the web:https://www.idavewilliams.com/Lofoten Insight on the web:https://www.lofoteninsight.comDave Williams on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/idavewilliams/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/idavewilliamsTwitter: https://twitter.com/idavewilliamsLofoten Insight on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lofoteninsight/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lofoteninsight  FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten's website:www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/

A Norway Trip Report...on today's Milenomics² Podcast 01:00 Scope: 2 weeks in Norway. Oslo, Tromso, Lofoten then back to Oslo for a few days. Wanted to get away from people. Love the coast, and Norway has a LOT of coastline Spent most of our time in the arctic Circle (but not considered the arctic) Map: 10:12 Outbound: Air France. LAX-CDG Plus a 4hr layover. Flight was smooth and the daytime departure was nice Got to experience the new LAX Air France lounge. Open 3 weeks ago. New is always better. 4hrs in CDG was perfect with kids. Got through immigration, train to the 2F terminal, settled into a lounge, everyone showered and then about 45 minutes later we were off to the gate Kids meal was pre-ordered and was great. CDG-OSL very basic, service by Amelia (by Air France) 20:10 Getting to Oslo from the airport Fly to vs Vy. Trains run every 10-20 minutes. Travel time is less than 30 minutes. Flytoget calls itself the 'fastest' airport train. This might be true, but only by a minute or two. Vy is a few minutes slower. Faster than driving even. Flytoget has Kids free vs VY so the prices start to converge when you take this into consideration approx $12 - 24 per person one way. Taxi was about $125. We had 4 of these one ways to do so we needed to get good at them. Vy app is not as good as the Ruter app for buying tickets with US credit cards. Stick to the Ruter app. Ruter and VY app cannot buy flytoget tickets, so Ruter + Flytoget app are the ideal combo. Tickets can also easily be bought at the ticket machines. 25:20 Clarion hotel the hub (a strawberry hotel) Location is great, just off Oslo central station 810(!) rooms. Norway's Largest hotel. Did not feel this big. Booked family size room for 16000 points With a Strata Premier this is 8000 TYP transferred to Choice. Included a pull out sofa which was already set up for us. Includes full buffet breakfast with omelette and crepe station. Nice, newish hotel. Certainly a great way to spend TYP and appreciate they book family rooms. Came back and worked to get connecting rooms. Seemed willing to even give some partial extra credit for the family room vs. 2 regular rooms. 30:58 Oslo: World city, really a great feel to the city, full of energy, parks and fantastic amounts of museums. 20+ Hours of daylight. People outdoors and a city that is alive. Paris and Prague feels. But English is a first or second language in most signs and interaction. Summer in Norway is Wildflower season. The landscaping in the cities is beautiful. Be Aware of your surroundings at night. There were some sketchy areas we stumbled into. Nothing too rough but still, be aware. Food was easy to find and diverse Interesting food halls: Oslo Street Food or Barcode Street Food Most world cuisine was easy to find and well done. Getting around is so easy. There are very few people driving cars. Taxis only really. Malls. So many malls. Beautiful they way they preserved the facade of the building and then you walk in and find a 3 story mall. NeoTokyo Store was stocked with Japanese toys/foods/snacks. Normal Store was a favorite of my two kids for candy/gum/interesting small dollar shopping for them. Gets rural quickly, leave city center and you're in the forest. Everything I saw ahead of visiting said to get out of Oslo -- I really, really enjoyed Oslo, and wish we spent more time there. SO much to explore. 35:24 Food in Norway Solid! Nothing like I was expecting Even in Tromso easy to find good options: Sushi, Thai, Fish & Chips, kid friendly food everywhere. Lofoten: had some meals out, touristy but to be expected. Our budget flex was that we had an airbnb in Tromso/Lofoten with a kitchen. Instead you could opt for prepared foods from the grocery. Reindeer: not bad. My 9 year old ordered it twice. Fruits and veggies are plentiful and easy to find in stores. Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry season. Fantastic berries that were easy to find. Had one meal that was Norwegian. It was 'ok.' Watermelon, passion fruit, grapes, nectarines, mangoes etc. 45:36 Travel to Tromso and Lofoten 1 quick 2hr flight on Norwegian Fine. Much better than southwest. Included 4 checked bags and overhead access. Incoming plane had everyone deplane and then boarded us and took off all in less than 35 minutes Pretty views from the plane on the right side as we approached Tromso. Tromso rental car: Hertz Months out cars were expensive. One way rentals to Lofoten were nearly $2000. Originally booked an Alamo rate about $700 for a week. Anything less than 7 days was over $1200. Was told this would be an automated kiosk. That's likely old info. All rental companies at the airport had full manned areas. Rented a VW ID.4 ev. Got a VW ID.4 $524 for a week. Tolls, ferries and parking meant a $300 pre-authorization. Ended up using about $80 in tolls with 1000 miles driven. Tolls are once per hour, regardless of how many you go through. Most tolls were under $2. Returned it late and nearly empty. I didn't want to bother charging it. Was quoted about $25 plus the cost of electricity if I returned it under “around 70%”. I decided to leave it as empty as possible and skip a charging stop on the return since I'm paying for the convenience. Tours: get your guide+ capital one shopping Commodity tours are a great use of capital one. Click through and don't buy, a few days later a good offer comes to email. Clicked through a common tour operator and didn't end up paying for the tour. Used some chase UR Received a 38.5% cash back offer from Capital One shopping Which….just worked! Took two tours down from 100 or so per person to 63 or so per person 51:29 Tromso: where to stay? The city is….well, a city. Has a few strawberry hotels and a Radisson Blu Parking is about $4/hr in the main tourists area. I don't know if any hotel has parking. You could certainly get around on public transit (hard with kids) even to far flung parts of the area. But being away from the city is quick and easy. 15 minutes puts you in an incredibly rural beautiful environment. If I had it to do over I'd stay on the island of Kvaløya near Esterboten or Sommory. You're close to Tromso but with incredible views: The best grocery store seemed to be the Eurospar on E862 No other store matched it for fresh fruits and veggies. Grocery prices are reasonable, stores are stocked with plenty of great fresh options and even some ethnic staples. Beer and Wine are expensive and wine is only sold at Vinmonopolat stores. 56:52 Low-ish season in Tromso / Lofoten Busy time is apparently northern lights and early spring for winter sports I thought summer in Tromso was fantastic Negatives, whale season is not summer. Did see some porpoise. Tours were 10-25% full. Small enough that you got to know the group. Slow pace in Northern Norway. Very Slow. 9-10 max 1:00:11 Tromso to Lofoten islands. This was the ultimate “what's the best way to get there” test Flying might have worked. Except cars were extremely pricey at Svolvaer, and the closet airport had a tiny runway. There are no direct flights from Tromso to Svolvaer. At some level it meant a full day of travel either by car or air. So we road tripped it. There are high speed Ferries that don't take cars, and drop you in Harstad (still not where we wanted to be). There are options that involve busses. But again with mobility issues (little kids) I wanted a car. Option 1: over land. 6hrs or so. About 500km. no views, and locals say not worth doing. Option 2: two ferries plus about 300km of driving. 8hrs. Option 3: Hurtigruten. Maybe 14 hrs but nearly direct. Not every day. Must prebook. Weird hours. If you're going to book this book it on the Norwegian language site (and maybe with a VPN) for the lowest pricing. Needed to decide which to do, booked nothing ahead of time. Originally decided on the south, direct drive. Was swayed by locals to take the ferries. Big mistake. Senja was a really beautiful place. Pivoted and made it work, thanks to my wife's quick Google searching and reassuring calming down. Just drive straight. Roads are easy and we did the return in just about 6hrs with a short break in the middle. I think a more standard trip is flying to Lofoten from either Oslo, Bergen or Bodo. Adding in Lofoten pushed the complexity up. I'm very glad we went to Lofoten I loved it, impossible to describe. My Final Route looked like this: 1:18:34 Ferries. Interesting for People, Terrible for Cars Cars line up early, fit very few cars. Tour Busses get to cut the line. Arrived about 50 minutes early and was #12 in line. For the second ferry in Gryllfjord I was an hour+ early and #65-70 in line (!) Scan license place and auto charge. People without a car are free EV pays half price Seems like a service to connect islands with last mile service, not as a method of reliable car transport Not worth doing. Long waits, no way to pre-book and no guarantee you can get on these ferries. 1:20:44 Lofoten: Need to get beyond Svolvaer for the best of the islands. Svolvaer is any other fishing village. Past Svolvaer is unlike anywhere I've ever been. Islands as far as the eye can see, some of the best driving I've ever done Harrowing roads in some places where you need to pass a bus or truck and there isn't enough room Peace and quiet. Weather was unusually warm. Anyone can take a good picture in Lofoten. Surprising numbers of beaches and swimmable areas. Tours: Oslo: brunch on the fjord, nice but nothing overly impressive about the brunch. Fram Museum (Fantastic, captivated my two kids for 90+ minutes) Tromso: fjord boat tour, arctic fishing. Incredible with the weather we had. Husky cafe tour and training Floating sauna and swim Lofoten: silent trollfjord tour, beaches Henningsvær, Lofoten: Extremely touristy. 1:33:20 Return to Oslo and Return home. By now we're pros getting to/from Oslo Airport Back to the hotel for connecting rooms....that were not ready for us Let it go a day, fixed it the next day. 3 days in Olso: Shopping, city exploration, parks and playgrounds for the kids. Could have spent more time and seen even more museums. Return home on Air France, overnight in Paris. It all just worked. 1:45:15 Overall impressions Such a laid back country. Almost too laid back (ferry story). Food was not an issue at all. A huge misconception is that the food here is not accessible. Cigarette smoking is everywhere unfortunately. Alcohol laws are not in line with the rest of Europe and can be pricey. Sunday is a big deal. Almost all stores close. Joker groceries are open Sunday. Tourist towns like Tromso are….touristy but people also live there. Fun to visit the malls and see their daily lives. Talking to people led us to some of the best surprises of the trip. Nice to be in a country where we could communicate easily. Midnight sun was more of a feature than a bug. We packed our days often going 8am to 10pm Driving 1000+miles was a mix of very easy and white knuckling. Speed limits make no sense. Lots of Amalfi style 1.5 lane roads in Senja and the Lofoten Islands.

“And many want to go hiking, go surfing, go diving, go snowshoeing, go skiing. But they really want to be active. It's really about hitting the nerve of the guest. And there are so many different aspects of how they want to explore. We are more or less tailormade adventures for each and every guest coming in.” We're in great company with Kristian Bøe and Guri Jentoft, the husband and wife duo behind Hattvika Lodge, where they are bringing a new sense of adventure to their fisherman's village of Ballstad in the Lofoten islands of Norway, with the restoration and revitalization of ‘Rorbu' cottages that have been in their family for 6 generations. With no prior hospitality background, only pure passion for their archipelago, Kristian and Guri now proudly host seaside accommodations where guests can feel the pulse of Lofoten's charm and tradition while enjoying modern design and comfort. Pair that with Fangst, their fresh modern bistro and fine dining restaurant for guests to savor the arctic taste and authentic feel of Lofoten's history presented on the plate.  In this episode, Kristian and Guri share with our listeners, all about the beauty of Lofoten - with its spectacular nature and constantly changing weather - while ensuring guests it is the people of Hattvika Lodge who will make the experience truly exceptional. Top Takeaways [1:50] After traveling the world in their earlier careers, Kristian and Guri decided to return home to the Lofoten Islands. Now they travel theoretically through the conversations and connections made with their global guests who they welcome in their home away from home. [9:10] Without any hospitality experience, Kristian and Guri turned to what they know of Ballstad - the rich history, the changing seasons, the sense of adventure whether hiking or skiing, fishing or boating - to show guests their fisherman's village. [12:30] Hear how Kristian and Guri share the stories of their iconic “rorbu” fisherman cottages dating back to the 1870's as if the walls could talk.  [17:50] The views of the harbor change with the seasons, with nothing but darkness and Northern Lights during the winter yet endless sunshine throughout the midsummer.  [20:20] Just as guests can choose their own adventure, so too their accommodations from authentic seaside cabins and suites to minimalist and modern hillside standalone hotel rooms. [23:20] From scientific reports to stories of plastics found from the fishermen themselves, Hattvika Lodge has a heightened focus on and awareness of their waste management, given the ocean at their doorstep.  [26:40] Dine In Good Company at Fangst, a fine dining restaurant which translates to ‘catch' where they collaborate with local suppliers to curate a menu based solely on local ingredients and not air miles, ‘from sea to table.'

- Ved å leve seg inn i hverandres fortelling og kjenne at vi er mer like enn vi er forskjellige, kommer vi mennesker nærmere hverandre, sier filmskaper Ole Giæver (46).Han har laget en rekke kritikerroste filmer, som “Mot naturen”, “Fra balkongen” og sist “Ellos eatnu – La elva leve” som kom i 2023. “La elva leve” er basert på virkelige hendelser fra den samiske rettighetskampen som blir omtalt som Altasaken. I filmen får vi følge den samiske hovedkarakteren Ester som spilles av musiker Ella Marie Hætta Isaken. For denne filmen vant han Amandaprisen for beste regi, og beste norske kinofilm. Hanna snakker med Ole om samfunnsengasjement, om å finne tilbake til sine samiske røtter og om påvirkningskraft. Hun snakker også med Ole om hva det kostet ham personlig å ha ansvar for en storfilm med et budsjett på 40 millioner, om hvordan det var da kroppens batterier tok slutt etterpå og om at han har valgt å ikke ha sosiale medier, som han beskriver som en “befrielse og berikelse”. Ole Giæver er utdannet ved Nordland kunst- og filmfagskole i Lofoten og Konstfack i Stockholm. I fjor debuterte han som forfatter da han gav han ut sin roman “Mot Å” på forlaget Oktober. Intervjuet av Hanna von Bergen

Régi visszatérő kérés, hogy Viki meséljen a Lofoten-szigeteki életéről, pontosabban arról, hogy milyen az élet olyan északon. Ebben az epizódban eljött az ideje, hogy kivesézzük a fehér éjszakák, a sötét tél, az északi fény és a fjordok földjét.

Marina Botta, Davide Adamo"Voci dal paesaggio del Nord"Nell'arte di Britta Marakatt-Labba e Lars LerinPinacoteca Civica, ComoFino al 13 ottobre 2024Al centro della ricerca dei due artisti contemporanei - tra i più rinomati nell'arte scandinava - c'è l'osservazione e la rappresentazione di una regione del Nord Europa, ancora in gran parte allo stato naturale, l'attenzione per il valore e la fragilità del paesaggio, il clima e l'identità dei luoghi, con la loro storia, cultura, mitologia e tradizioni. La loro visione artistica è un racconto che non si limita ad una contemplazione estetica, ma coinvolge in un'esperienza più profonda, cognitiva e sensoriale. Le loro opere raccontano l'anima dei luoghi e diventano scene di vita e di azioni dell'agire umano: le case e il lavoro dei pescatori nei piccoli porti delle isole Lofoten, i boschi di betulle della regione del Värmland, la vita nomadica dei Sami/lapponi e le loro proteste per difendere le loro terre e i pascoli delle renne, insidiati sia dallo sfruttamento delle risorse naturali che dai cambiamenti climatici. Obiettivo della mostra è quello di stimolare un dibattito sul valore e la fragilità del paesaggio, e incentivare la consapevolezza che il valore e la bellezza del paesaggio dipendono da come lo usiamo e come lo viviamo: anche i “luoghi” hanno una propria identità e una propria “voce” che dobbiamo imparare ad ascoltare.Il percorso espositivo propone al visitatore un'immersione sensoriale nel paesaggio nordico tra forme, colori, profumi e materiali richiamati da betulle, pini, muschi, licheni, legni, sassi e conchiglie, pelli di renna e i colori del cielo d'inverno e del mare ghiacciato. Il dialogo tra arte e natura nordica viene sviluppato da Britta Marakatt–Labba e Lars Lerin con diverse tecniche: la prima con i ricami e il secondo con l'acquerello. I due artisti ci trasmettono le loro percezioni e i loro legami a paesaggi di campi innevati, di boschi e di mare, facendoci percepire il freddo, il silenzio e l'immensità degli spazi, includendo oltre ai valori ambientali, culturali e sociali, i significati simbolici ereditati dalla loro mitologia e dalla loro storia In mostra a Como vengono presentati i ricami di Britta Marakatt–Labba, artista tessile e pittorica strettamente legata alla narrativa Sami, una cultura che attraversa il Nord di Norvegia, Svezia, Finlandia e Russia. Figlia di allevatori di renne e cresciuta in un territorio dal clima rigido, i suoi ricami narrativi eseguiti con sottili fili di lana, seta e lino su tessuto bianco, disegnano la storia di un popolo poco conosciuto e ancora in cerca di legittimazione, nonostante le sue antichissime origini. Il suo mezzo d'espressione, l'ago e il filo, evidenziano l'estetica della lentezza e portano a riflessioni sulla saggezza silenziosa degli animali, su tutto ciò che vive, sottolineata dalla presenza di renne, corvi, figure mitologiche Sami. Le sue storie e racconti del popolo Sami sono stati esposti in tutto il mondo, in particolare a Documenta (Kassel, Germania) nel 2017 e alla Biennale di Venezia nel 2022.  Gli acquarelli di Lars Lerin, pittore e scrittore, raccontano percezioni e legami a paesaggi di boschi e di mare, facendoci capire il freddo, il silenzio e l'immensità degli spazi: le case e il lavoro dei pescatori nei piccoli porti delle isole Lofoten, i boschi di betulle della regione del Värmland raccontano “l'anima” dei luoghi e diventano quindi “scene” di vita e di azioni dell'agire umano.  Considerato uno dei principali artisti scandinavi nella tecnica dell'acquerello, Lerin ha tenuto mostre personali e collettive in musei e gallerie d'arte in Svezia, Danimarca, Finlandia, Francia, Isole Faroe, Islanda, Germania, Norvegia e Stati Uniti. Le sue opere sono esposte in Svezia e Norvegia. Scrittore, ha pubblicato più di cinquanta libri, e il testo di saggistica “Naturlära – Imparando dalla Natura” è stato premiato con l'August Prize 2014.  Britta Marakatt-Labba (1951) proviene da una famiglia di allevatori di renne che vive in Sápmi, uno dei territori più settentrionali del pianeta, patria delle comunità indigene dei Sami. Per più di quarant'anni, la sua pratica artistica ha legato inscindibilmente i metodi di narrazione visiva alla cultura di queste popolazioni e al paesaggio nordico, unendo antiche usanze, pratiche culturali, tradizioni orali, miti e ricordi personali. Ferma sostenitrice dell'autodeterminazione e della decolonizzazione di questa terra, alla fine degli anni Settanta entra a far parte del gruppo di artiste e artisti Sami impegnati nell'affermazione della propria autonomia artistica e attivi nelle proteste contro l'espansione dell'industria estrattiva e delle centrali idroelettriche nella regione. Marakatt-Labba è conosciuta per i suoi poetici ricami eseguiti con sottili fili di lana, seta e lino su tessuto bianco. Tra le sue mostre internazionali recenti: Documenta 14 a Kassel, Aten (2017), Biennale di Venezia (2022), a Birmingham (2022) e Lethbridge, Kanada (2021/22). È ora in corso una sua importante personale al National Museum di Oslo.  https://www.swedishlapland.com/stories/britta-marakatt-labba/ Lars Lerin è nato nel 1954 e cresciuto a Munkfors, nella regione del Värmland. Ha studiato alla scuola di Gerlesborg 1974-75 e al Dipartimento di Belle Arti, Valand 1980-84. Negli anni '90 ha vissuto per quasi un decennio sulle isole Lofoten.È considerato uno dei principali artisti scandinavi nella tecnica dell'acquerello; ha tenuto mostre personali e collettive in musei e gallerie d'arte in Svezia, Danimarca, Finlandia, Francia, Isole Faroe, Islanda, Germania, Norvegia e Stati Uniti. Lerin è anche un prolifico autore e dal suo debutto Utpost (1983), ha scritto e pubblicato più di cinquanta libri. Il suo libro Naturlära è stato premiato con l'August Prize 2014; nel 2016 è stato insignito della medaglia reale “Litteris et Artibus” per i suoi grandi successi come artista e autore.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Fluent Fiction - Norwegian: The Journey of a Word: Ole's Pursuit of Pronunciation Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/the-journey-of-a-word-oles-pursuit-of-pronunciation Story Transcript:Nb: På landet i nord, blant fjell og fjord, bodde en gutt ved navn Ole.En: In the countryside of the north, among mountains and fjords, there lived a boy named Ole.Nb: Han var en drømmer, alltid med nesen i en bok.En: He was a dreamer, always with his nose in a book.Nb: Dette skjedde i det vakre landskapet av Lofoten, en øygruppe kjent for sin majestetiske skjønnhet og rike kultur.En: This happened in the beautiful landscape of Lofoten, an archipelago known for its majestic beauty and rich culture.Nb: En dag var Ole dypt fortapt i en bok på norsk.En: One day, Ole was deeply engrossed in a Norwegian book.Nb: Det var et stort, tykt leksikon, fylt med kompliserte ord og uttrykk.En: It was a large, thick encyclopedia filled with complicated words and expressions.Nb: Med et stort smil på leppene, hoppet han fra ord til ord, fra setning til setning, og sugde inn nye lærdommer som en svamp.En: With a big smile on his lips, he jumped from word to word, from sentence to sentence, and absorbed new knowledge like a sponge.Nb: Plutselig stoppet han opp, lamslått av det han så.En: Suddenly, he stopped, stunned by what he saw.Nb: Det var et ord så langt og komplisert at det nesten fylte en hel linje på siden.En: It was a word so long and complicated that it almost filled an entire line on the page.Nb: Han prøvde å uttale ordet, men det var som om tungen hans hadde blitt surret inn i en knute.En: He tried to pronounce the word, but it was as if his tongue had become tangled.Nb: Han prøvde igjen og igjen, men hver gang endte han opp med å lage en merkelig lyd.En: He tried again and again, but each time he ended up making a strange sound.Nb: "Kanskje jeg trenger hjelp," tenkte Ole, og bestemte seg for å finne noen som kunne hjelpe ham.En: "Maybe I need help," thought Ole, and decided to find someone who could assist him.Nb: Hans første stopp var Hans, den lokale fiskeren.En: His first stop was Hans, the local fisherman.Nb: Hans var klok og elsket å fortelle historier til Ole.En: Hans was wise and loved telling stories to Ole.Nb: Men da Hans hørte det lange ordet, klødde han seg i hodet.En: But when Hans heard the long word, he scratched his head.Nb: "Jeg er lei for det, Ole," sa han.En: "I'm sorry, Ole," he said.Nb: "Jeg kan fange de største fiskene her i Lofoten, men jeg kan ikke uttale det ordet.En: "I can catch the biggest fish here in Lofoten, but I can't pronounce that word."Nb: "Skuffet, men ikke motløs, gikk Ole til Nanna, innehaver av byens kafé.En: Disappointed, but not discouraged, Ole went to Nanna, the owner of the town's café.Nb: Nanna var alltid vennlig og hjelpsom, med et hjerte like varmt som de kaffekoppene hun serverte.En: Nanna was always friendly and helpful, with a heart as warm as the coffee cups she served.Nb: Men selv hun kunne ikke uttale det lange ordet, og tilbød Ole en kopp varm kakao som trøst.En: But even she couldn't pronounce the long word and offered Ole a cup of hot cocoa as consolation.Nb: Ole ble mer motløs, men han ga ikke opp.En: Ole felt more discouraged, but he didn't give up.Nb: Han bestemte seg for å prøve en siste gang.En: He decided to try one last time.Nb: Han dro til biblioteket og viste det lange ordet til bibliotekaren Frøken Sigrun.En: He went to the library and showed the long word to the librarian, Miss Sigrun.Nb: Hun så på det lange ordet, gjorde en pause, og så prøvde hun å uttale det.En: She looked at the long word, paused, and then tried to pronounce it.Nb: Og til Oles forbauselse, klarte hun det!En: And to Ole's amazement, she succeeded!Nb: "Hemoglobinometertangenskoordinasjonen," uttalte hun tydelig og rolig.En: "Hemoglobinometertangenskoordinasjonen," she pronounced clearly and calmly.Nb: Ole prøvde å kopiere henne, og til slutt, etter mange forsøk, klarte han det.En: Ole tried to imitate her, and finally, after many attempts, he succeeded.Nb: En følelse av triumf strømmet gjennom ham.En: A feeling of triumph surged through him.Nb: Han takket Frøken Sigrun og sprang hjem, lykkelig og lettet.En: He thanked Miss Sigrun and ran home, happy and relieved.Nb: Historien ender på en positiv note, og minner oss om at selv når noe ser umulig ut, gir vi ikke opp.En: The story ends on a positive note, reminding us that even when something seems impossible, we do not give up.Nb: Vi fortsetter å prøve, og til slutt, vil vi lykkes.En: We continue to try, and eventually, we will succeed.Nb: Og det er nettopp det Ole lærte den dagen i Lofoten, idet han mestret uttalelsen av det lange, kompliserte ordet.En: And that's exactly what Ole learned that day in Lofoten, as he mastered the pronunciation of the long, complicated word.
