Photo of the day

Thanks! It was a great trip, short but sweet. No black flies to speak of when I was there. Very few mosquitoes.

Bent, I envy you and your trip. Spring and fall, my favorite tripping time. Me, I am currently on medical hold for a month so no spring trip this year.

First warm day of the year at 68* north. Good to be back on the water after a long winter.

Great looking picture with dramatic looking “ fish scale “ clouds.

Wow, the sky and water expanses in that first photo are stunning. Is that a lake, a river or an ocean fjord?

Hi Glenn.
These are both in the ocean. The one with the dramatic clouds is in a fjord (which always means it's in the ocean for those who didn't know) and the other one is on an island just outside where I live. You could argue that both are fjords but the Vestfjord in the second picture is more an ocean-area than an actual fjord because it's so open and big.
I just received a call from a fisherman that I know. He told me that there had been killer whales in the hundreds in the area I was. I didn't see any and I'm fine with that. They are not supposed to be dangerous, most of the time. But they are very curious about things so who knows.
