Popular places to visit

#beachtips If a wild camping paradise exists, it would be on Kvalvika Beach on the Lofoten Islands in Norway. This place can only be reached on foot, after doing a mountain hike, and is always packed with wild campers who come there to enoy the midnight sun. I shot this photo in July 2017, around midnight, when the sun was at its lowest point and shade was covering parts of the beach.

We abandoned our plans to explore the northwest side of the islands this day when the Arctic Sun rose and hovered just above the horizon for the next 2.5 hours. Instead we just drove the coast on a aimless adventure following the light. Lofoten is a magical place. #BVSquad #BVSBlue
