This cute wooden row boat has become a feature of the landscape. It is always sitting in the same place. I know it gets used in the fjord but I have never seen it floating on the water, only sitting on the beach. Soon the ice will come and freeze itself onto the boat. It will still look cute but it will not be in use until next Summer.

However, the outside of Nidaros Cathedral is even more intriguing when you know the history.

I imagine us wondering round the island in circles with our cameras always just missing each other. One day we will probably bump into each other, this island isn’t that big
I simply love your photos L-Jay!!!
