Very Impressive series, Bjørn. All brilliant but for some reason I prefer the first one.

You are fortunate to live so close to such a nice subject Bjørn. I see from your photos that you visit frequently. I'm a believer that one should revisit a favored location as many times as possible. I enjoy the changes in seasons and light and particularly enjoy the third image. A very nice photograph indeed.

Superb serie !

I love last one as is my dream to catch  Auroras borealis on my camera sensor... :)

it seems the house isn't accessible all the time according to the see level.

Beware the global warming ! :-[

Lofoten is one of the best places, but also often cloudy in the winter. Often the chances of clear skies are better the further away from the coast you get, but then the landscape is much more boring, giving less dramatic photos.

Really nice pictures, Bjørn!

Deep and powerful colours with nice variation of compositions.

Thank you for sharing.

Well done!

Before I tell you how wonderful these images are with all their glorious details ... I am wondering what the structure is use for? I am wondering if it gets flooded when the water level rises? I am wondering about the missing pieces of walkway/ramp in #2? I am wondering if the building is occupied when the ramp in underwater? I am wondering if the building is occupied in winter? I am wondering about what the temperature was when you took the winter photos?   

Now that I have gotten some of my questions out of my system ... I'll tell you that these are all wonderful. #3 is my fav.

Thank you to all for the comments.
All those questions - that will be a challenge for my English :)

Elsa, this building is around 50 meters from a road with streetlights, with some trees between. When using long exposures the shadows from the trees can be seen on the red wall.
Gary, it is an old large boathouse, the person who built it was a fisherman, this is where he kept all the stuff needed for his work. The current owners use it primarly as an exhibition house for old and antique things, and they sometimes arrange parties for friends inside there. In 2011 there was an extremely high tide in this area, that's why it was flooded. Such a high water level has never been seen here before. In #2 it looks like part of the walkway is missing because the starting point of the walkway is flooded.
The temperature in the winter here is usually somewhere between minus 3 and 12 C, coldest when the sky is clear. I think the coldest we have had here is around minus 20 degrees Celsius.
