Thanks so much for your wonderful photos!! I will never forget my terrific cruise up the W. coast of Norway on the freighter ship, which was one of the Hurtigruten line, they stop at all the towns along the way, delivering mail, people in cars, and various packages!

Great photos of the Northern Fjords. I've seen good photos here too (for anyone else who comes to this thread interested in the Northern Fjords).

Richard this is a great article on Norway and welcome to WisR . The mountains and fjords are very similar to what we have here in NZ. The wildflowers are stunning. Thank you .
