Skifjorden
Sometimes taking a wrong turn pays off. I was helping my family with directions to Henningsvaer when, for a moment, I forgot to look at the map. We had to turn the car around. That’s when I saw Skifjorden. Its incredible colours, winding water and perfectly placed rocks made it into a summer oasis where birds came to drink and the Austvågøya peaks loomed in the distance.

Part of my Lofoten: Arctic Flyway exhibition through which I am donating 25% of the proceeds to BirdLife Norway, a wildlife organisation dedicated to the conservation of birds in the archipelago. Lofoten is particularly important as a nesting ground because it facilitates easy access to food and very few natural predators, which makes the islands ideal to raise chicks. BirdLife works with different seabirds and migratory species that are affected by tourism, farming and climate change in order to preserve their numbers. They educate locals and visitors on best practices, wildlife behaviour and on finding solutions as a community.
