A day of relaxation on the Atlantic in Andenes ...
The morning shows itself from the sunny side - all dry and beautiful weather - apart from a few clouds ...
Vastness towards the eastIn the planning for tomorrow - Gryllefjord on the mainlandThe ferry when entering ...Fascinating world for landlubbersIn the fishing harbor ...... everything needs to be looked at up close ...... technically interesting ... but probably less so for the fish ...View from the harbor to AndenesA bright moment ...Higher than the lighthouseWhat makes motorcyclists part with their machines?Whale safari ....... and cast off!Jawbone of a whaleMighty big!SignpostCloud production on my local mountainLunch breakOne of the main axes of Andenes... occasionally important: Reflect...In the afternoon, a storm sets in from the north - always from the perspective of a non-Norwegian - the tents of the brave at the edge pay the price ...Dramatic scenes are being set up with liquid lead ...Funny coincidence! After my return from the city, acquaintances from earlier days are waiting at the edge - the powerful one stands protectively in front of my small tent ...Incredibly hospitable, I am invited to a wonderful salmon - enjoy the inside view in the storm ... and very much enjoy the entertaining time... I will always miss this light ...... the sky at 0130 at night...Extension of the stay in Andenes due to the storm ...... everything is nicely packed - the neighbors are still asleep - but I also want to reach the early ferry ...Getting in line before the ferry has become a proven principle ...... but today everything is different - a higher rank personally orientates that it is very likely that no ferry will operate today and the prospects are not optimistic for tomorrow either ... says my weather app too - then it must be true ...The abyss remains open, but all vehicles scatter during the morning ...I look for a place to stay for two days and observe the events ...... everything is in wild turmoil ...... and one can sense the energy that is in the agitated sea ...... and not only the wind is rough - but also the ton-heavy ballast structures that are dragged along the bottom of the sea ...... to collect everything with bottom nets that lies in the course of the ship ...... that's how it works ... and if you want, you can find more information under the keyword 'bycatch' in the Wiki... back on the streets of Andenes ... by now, the youth has gathered for the Sunday parade ...It remains as it is: Stormy and bitterly cold ... but even a modern smartphone is not (yet?) capable of conveying that in reality ...
