Alta and surroundings

From Tromsø we reached Alta in a couple of days.

Heading north during the nigth. Sometimes with clear skies, sometimes in thick fog.

The days ar growing shorter again.

Curious fulmar...

...waiting for the waste of the freshly caugth fish...

... and figthing for the pieces.

Calm morning in the harbour of Alta.

View over the town of Alta (16'000 residents). Thanks to the many trees, you don't feel like you're in a big city.

Nordlyskatedralen - the facade consists of titanium plates.

Reindeers walking trough the town.

Meeting friends, who took us on an intresting tour around Alta in their car.

First stop; the very famous fishing river. The largest salmon caught weighed over 30 kg.

You can only move on the river using special boats.

Some of them, even have jet propulsion, because of the shallows.

There are very strict rules about when you can fish and when you can take the boats.

In the background you can see the mining areas where slate slabs are mined...

...which are shiped over the whole world.

Wooden-greenhouse :-)

Sled dogs, waiting for the winter.

Refilling special gas for the refrigerator.

Walk around Alta and...

...the the well known Alta Museum...

...where the well-known (2'000 - 6'500 year old) rock carvings can be admired.

Some of them are painted red, to bee seen better.

Hunting scenes are primarily depicted.

Norwegian zebra...

Tools made from antlers.

A boat, way to big came to the pontoon, and unfortunately mooved the anchor stones. We hope, it will be sent away soon, before there is more wind.

Heading out to the remote Seiland Nationalpark.

Calm day - time to recover from the long hike.

Feeling like arriving in paradies.

Only way to this nationalpark is by boat.

Whirlpool :-)

Incredibly green hills.

Walking along the river and lakes...

... and trying to catch some arctic char with the fly-fishing rod.

A lot of insects (unfortunately also moskitos).

Strong green colours.

And a lot of colorfoul mushrooms.

And a lot of blueberries to pick...

...and making...

... yummy jam :-)
