Tromvik near Tromsø
Tromvik is a cute fishing village on Kvaløya Island just off Tromsø. There is not much there, just a few fisherman huts, reindeer and hjeller (fish racks built as high as a house for air drying cod). It’s a nice Sunday drive to have a peek at how Norwegian fishermen live.

21st January is soldagen (the sun day) when the sun officially returns to Tromsø.
In the winter we rest.
Norwegian dogs were born with a purpose. They were bred to be hunting dogs, herding dogs and farm dogs.
Table settings are very much a part of the tradition of serving cake.
The Bunad with molded wool, embroidered cuffs and silver stitching is still not complete without its silverwork.
Thank you for this glimpse into the lives of fishermen. I love the beauty of the land and I even love the isolation and quietness. I think I’ve been craving some of that lately as I live in the 5th largest city in the US.
Blessings to you L-Jay,
Debbie
