High Summer and low tide in Alta. A sleepy Summer’s day. When the tide is out you can walk into the middle of the fjord or you can sunbath on the beach and watch other people do it.
Even though the males are called bulls and the females cows, the muskoxen are more closely related to sheep than cattle. Make no mistake, though – this is not your average cuddly ba-ba-blacksheep! A grown animal can be 2,5 m long and weigh up to 400 kgs, and their long curved horns mean business.

Beaut scenery. Love how the sky seems to stretch on forever.
Is that looking out into the fjord from Kronstad? I lived there in the wintertime so it’s a rather unfamiliar view but it looks like it’s up on the Hill, looking out over the flat so I think it would have to be Kronstad.
