Day 1

2015-02-17

Words written in the front. There are many places in the world that we walk alone. But it is the first time I feel lonely. After the end of the super perfect journey, there are more regrets. The top of Tromso overlooks the city at night. Looking up at the aurora in the Lofoten islands. It's snowing on the road in Nordkapp. Take a dog sled through the National Park in absiko. In the rock church, with music and afternoon sunshine. So many wonderful moments in the journey. I wish I could share it with you. Yeah. If only you were here.

Synopsis of the plot. The gloomy and bleak Stockholm in winter. Crazy Tromso. 1000 kilometers of deserted ice and snow road. When the polar bear comes knocking on the door. High energy aurora. The powerful abiscu dog sled 4.0tsi. Santa global headquarters Rovaniemi. Helsinki is Helsinki.

It's a journey that started with Stede. Syndrome and Nobel, named after the city, are the biggest titles. Every December, the Nobel Prize ceremony is held in the city hall. If you walk down the corridor and look at it (with your fingers), the photos will look great, guide said. Yeah. Full of positive energy. 'if you win the Nobel Prize, you'll get a lot of money, but you'll have little money left to get rid of this, this and this,' guide said. Yeah. Full of positive energy.

Step into the old city. It's very cold in winter. The sky is always gray. The city is very boring against such an atmosphere. There are not many visitors in the streets. Actually, I really like this feeling. Except it's really cold. And the sky without layers.

It's about the changing of guards in the palace. Compared with our great motherland, it is really just like this. Whether it's a sense of ceremony, the guard's appearance, props, it's a simple style. After all. Northern Europe.

Five stars recommend Swedish palaces and museums. There are many medals, ribbons, necklaces, and royal clothes of all ages on display in the museum. Fried chicken is exquisite. Good to cry. You and HM like you, which one is true. Laugh.

Go up to the first floor. Oh, my God. It's a shame. You're famous for simplicity. Where is it. I've seen Versailles and meiquan palace. It's amazing that there's no loss here. Sculpture mural tapestry chandelier porch furniture furnishings. once again. Oh, my God! Almost half drunk to see the palace.

After visiting the palace more than 3 o'clock, it was getting dark. Turn around and come to the Nobel museum near the palace. All previous Nobel Prize winners' materials are introduced and displayed here, and the large portraits of all the winners hover on their heads is slightly strange. I found all the few people I knew. Mo Yan stopped shooting. It's really not photogenic.

Day 2

2015-02-18

Walk into the old city again. It's still cloudy and cold.

The florist on the side of the road has opened, and the hostess is busy inside and outside.

Who doesn't love self portraits.

Happened to meet a passing palace soldier. The star eyes of a group of cute kids are stunned. Yeah. You should be like them when you grow up.

The envious eyes of the little cute kids

On the ferry to Skansen, I took a panoramic view of the old city. The sky without layers really makes the picture boring.

Old town

Skansen is very cold in winter. There are few people in the park, and most of the exhibitions are closed. The ice hasn't melted yet. The various stages used for summer performances are empty. Only some animals are eating the bark leisurely. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun came out. It was the biggest harvest in Skansen in just half an hour.

Vasa, which was forced by the king of Sweden to be changed into a double-layer fort, was sunk when it was launched. The wreckage recovered 300 years later is still beautiful. The 98% recovery rate is amazing. It's easy to get an egg if you take a big step, which is common all over the world. Wonderful Vasa Museum. The full frame of 17-40 can't capture the whole body posture of vasa. Little by little.

Beautiful stern

The section of vasa shows ballast stone, powder magazine, armed fort and control layer.

The subway station is also the pride of the city. With wonderful design and special lighting, all kinds of underground stations with cave style are especially worth seeing. While shooting, they chat with passers-by. In fact, they don't know the reason of these design styles. They just think it's good. During the shooting process, two police officers patrolling in the subway station came up and said that the use of a tripod for shooting requires a written certificate from the management department. After communication and checking my ID card, they finally very nice said that they could allow me to shoot, but not more than 10 minutes.

Play repeat exposure.

Day 3

2015-02-19

From Stede to Tromso. SAS 736, orange CFM56 engine. The 20-year-old plane is still as clean as new. The crew didn't shut down. It's a big difference in the world.

It was snowing heavily when Tromso landed. Picked up the car at hertz. As the arrival flight number was filled in at the time of reservation, there was a short message to inform the parking lot location and license plate number immediately after landing. The car had been started in advance by the staff, and the license plate covered with snow would be fine. That's right. Scratch the license plate covered with snow.

that... It's really good...

The largest city in the Arctic circle. It's a crazy city. In half a year, there's only day, and in the other half, there's only night. Their year is like our day. Such a view is not readily available. A pair of Italian boys who went up the mountain with me said that this was the fifth day in a row that they came here at this time, and today is the best one. Should we be satisfied or regret. I really don't know. My head is completely blank. Really?

It's dark at three o'clock. I went back to the hotel to eat and take a nap. Drive to the aurora at 7:00. The activity level of that night was level 2, which was not high, but the cloud layer was not thick. Google in advance   There are several locations on the map. The first site was a fjord, but it was dark all around. There was nothing for a few kilometers. I gave up because I was worried about safety. The last place to choose is in an open roadside, the composition is quite convenient, but the pollution of street lights is very big. After waiting for about half an hour, a faint green came. HI。 My name is s. Please take care of me for the first time.

Day 4

2015-02-20

A night without a dream. Took advantage of the short day to walk around the whole island. Also very lucky to see the sun. While observing this interesting city, we set foot for the night. Around the island about 30 kilometers, stop everywhere is the beauty. Around to the other bank, I took a picture called "the colorful houses on the snow covered hillside by the blue sea", which stitched out a long piece, just developed, and spread from the head of my bed to the end of my bed.

The Arctic cathedral at the foot of the mountain is the northernmost Church in the world. When driving by from a distance, it happened that the clouds at the top of the church blocked the sun, so I stopped to take this amazing picture.

Go in and have a look. The daylighting of the eaves gap on the top of the church forms a warm and cold color with the interior lighting. I like it very much. Find a corner to sit down, music flowing, only a few tourists also seem to be their own frame, even breathing sound slightly heavy. Some   people   wait    a   lifetime。 A   moment   like   this。 I don't know why I think of this.

The Arctic Museum in the dock warehouse is interesting. The history of opening up the Arctic and the display of Sami people's fishing and hunting are very exquisite, but the part of hunting seals is a little worried. The tool display of completely peeling off a seal's skin is also a dog.

Back to the hotel, I had nothing to do. I opened the social app and posted a piece of Aurora last night, which was instantly full of praise. Casually reply, the main idea is OK, in fact, did not spend much effort to casually see it. It's also a good feeling to see the full blue pool flying 9000 kilometers and instantly project it in front of them.

I also happened to see a little friend flying to Tromso that day, and reported the aurora group that night. I contacted him and said, "let's go with your Aurora Group's car." so they started at 7:30, and I drove behind them. Once out of the city, their mini   Bus began to fly on the ice and snow road, with an average speed of no less than 90. I'm not easy to follow. I almost slide out of several corners. The price of a 5-hour tour is about 900 kroner. Minibus runs for 2 hours, at least 180 kilometers, which is too hard. I'm about to drive out of Google   When the map was offline, it finally stopped at an observation point. After getting out of the car, the little friend almost rushed to say that you were still there, thinking that you had lost it long ago. Another look, it's still manual.

The weather and Aurora activity that night were not ideal. There is no Aurora at this observation point. About 15 minutes later, mini   Bus continued to search, and I chose to turn around and go back to the hotel. The next day, I asked about the follow-up, and said that at the next observation station, I only saw a little bit, which was not beautiful at all. I'm glad I didn't talk to you. It turns out that the weather and activity are the king, and the Aurora Group is just icing on the cake.

Day 5

2015-02-21

Driving to Lofoten and Nordkapp, the road is covered with thick ice and snow. If you don't pay attention, it will slip. Winter is not a good season. When you turn to highway 10 leading to Lofoten archipelago, there is no car for tens of kilometers. The sky is bright and dark. The deep blue sea of Norway and the desolate snow mountain cycle the whole way. No Signal. There is no radio station. There is no music. There is no audio input other than the occasional high-speed sound of the engine when the car skids. On the second half of the way, Blizzard followed. Huge snowflakes hit the windshield like a 4D movie. It's like a road to despair.

Still... It's not very cold...

The cabin is like a reward for reaching the end. At the foot of the mountain, by the ice lake. Small kitchen, wooden dining table, sauna room, along the narrow stairs up, there is a careless will hit the roof of the bedroom. There are only three small wooden houses. The old man of the shop owner said that there might be only you and me in a 10 kilometer radius. What are you doing here this season.

Well. It's a long story. I'll tell you all about it later.

When the polar bear comes knocking on the door

I fell asleep after reading the meeting book. I woke up at 11:30. Looking out of the window, the Blizzard is over. Google   The map shows the surrounding terrain. Throw the equipment in the car and set off. I'm very satisfied with the location. Rocks, trees, sea, lights in the distance. At about 12 o'clock, the street lights suddenly went out. It was probably the beginning of the movie. You see (fingers. It's all over the sky.

Day 6

2015-02-22

It snowed again in the morning. I made coffee and breakfast. While watching last night's movie. I accidentally deleted some wrong photos. The dates are a bit out of order, too. Some of the photos were taken on the way to Nordkapp. I especially like the sunny snow mountain and the dock. The weather is still changeable. The road is still desolate.

A ship sailing alone

Occasionally meet the blue ice lake

Two days later, I returned the car in Narvik. Drop the key in the drop   In the box. I went to absiko by bus. The second half is public transport. All kinds of airplanes, trains, buses, boats, taxis.

Guess who I am?

Day 7

2015-02-23

There's a story when it comes to dogs pulling sleds. This is the only sled activity in the polar circle that can be operated and driven by itself. There are only 12 seats available every day, so popular that it needs to be reserved two or three months in advance. I didn't get it, of course. I want to take some interesting pictures with my camera in the morning. An elderly aunt did not know where to book the activity, only to find that she might not be able to control it, so she decided to quit temporarily. It's a huge bargain. Take off the thick coat, there is only a t inside, put on the cold suit provided by the activity on the spot, and set out with a pair of 38 size shoes.

I told you to let go

Two hours of activity can't be better. Four Wangs took one of my sledges through absiko National Park. It's a pity that I didn't bring my mobile phone. It's regarded as lifetime   Experience.

Absiko is actually a very small town. It's only five minutes from the beginning to the end. Walking to the lake to see the aurora is the best and probably the only choice. I met Lofoten's little friend. We walked for a long time without finding the lake. In fact, it's only winter when the lake is frozen and covered with snow. We walk on the lake all the time.

be vigilant! Aurora high energy ahead!

Finger lights are finally in use

After 2 hours of shooting, I was ready to withdraw. It's just a few minutes out. I look up by accident. be dumbfounded. I can't think of how to describe it. You should have tried pouring cream into McDonald's coffee. That's how it dyed the whole sky. It's colorful. volatile. It's like walking across the night sky.

It's too late to be in a hurry. The prospect of chaos has been ignored. Just give up shooting and just enjoy it. Five minutes or so. sigh. I found a better place. He took out the wine board and cigarettes in his arms and kept them for an hour. I went back to my room with satisfaction.

Day 8

2015-02-24

Absiko the next morning

I went to the dog sled to get some pictures. I'm so excited that I can't start. I'm all in one.

My grandfather tied the rope to them one by one

It's very sharp

What are you looking at

Let's go!

Nima is not going yet!

The old man didn't seem to come back last night. Well, I noticed that, too.

Woof!

Let's go. I'll be back in two hours. What are you doing.

Er... I think it's crazy to be red...

Ah! Come back!

I left in the afternoon. A little railway station. It's only two hours to Kiruna. Everything is on time here. The red locomotive is very interesting.

I missed the bus to the ice hotel at Kiruna. A little regret. The church is not that beautiful. After checking the traffic to Rovaniemi the next day, I went to bed early.

Day 9

2015-02-25

Set out early in the morning. Meet the beautiful morning glow. I took three turns and passed the day in a muddle. Sitting in the first row overlooking the driver. Try to find out the secret that even buses are on time to the minute. There's nothing to gain.

Day 10

2015-02-26

There is a crystal tunnel here. The museum is still very interesting. There is no crystal tunnel.

Ask for praise

This is a big black terrier. It's better to protect the Arctic environment. The three teams are from the United States and Canada, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The force required to pull the rope represents the team's efforts to protect the Arctic environment. Norway and Sweden can't even pull me. Finland and Denmark are more relaxed. The United States and Canada, gently pull the whole rope will roll out. Beautiful black!!!

Fake. I'm afraid of you?

It's a commercial scenic spot with very careful management. It is said that there are 150W letters to Santa every year, and Santa and his elves will reply more than half of them. It's a paradise for children. I sent you and myself postcards here, hoping to arrive safely.

By the way, snow here   Mobile played with this product. The threshold for not recognizing the driver's license in mainland China has blocked many Chinese people. Yeah. There's no pressure on me with more driving licenses than credit cards. The goods don't work very well. Drive the rear track and turn to the front pair. The hand vibration is very, very big. It's strange to turn. My coach and I set out one after another. I asked how fast we could run, and the answer was that it was up to you. I followed closely in the whole process, failed to overtake several times, and was praised when I came back.

Another boring northernmost place in the world. Nothing special. Shooting with the rain on camera is like Kidd. The effect is not as good as his (of course. Maybe a little water in the camera (of course.

Heart haggard set to the night train to Helsinki. Booking two weeks in advance is 30 euro more expensive than booking two hours in advance. The owl printed on the car body is stupid. Woo

One night's train, boredom is inevitable. Like Kidd, he played with the light in the car. Still can't get the effect of others (of course. The Finnish boy in the same box watched for almost an hour. Finally, I saw the photos. For   facebook?Blocked.For   instagram?Also   According to relevant laws, regulations and policies, some chat contents are not displayed#

Day 11

2015-02-27

I like the city at first sight

My favorite church. Excellent lighting and special structure. For a long time. During the period, I was annoyed by all kinds of footsteps, laughter, shutter sound, baby crying, down jacket friction sound. In the afternoon, the tourists scattered in groups for some reason. All that remained in the church was me, the classical piano and the sudden sunshine. I spent the most unforgettable 15 minutes of the whole trip.

A normal Museum. The exhibitions on various religions are wide but not deep. The exhibition of modern Finnish history is just "MMM" instead of "wow". A few paintings are not bad. I found something strange.

。。。

It's bv

Ask seriously. what is it?

well!

I'm very glad to be entertained in the evening. Reindeer meat is expensive but not greasy.

The castle hotel is also worth mentioning. The special appearance and torch at the door are the biggest selling points. But the feeling of being surrounded by all kinds of modern buildings is a little helpless. The lobby continues the style of castle architecture, and the rooms are modern and classical. The modern room I live in is small and exquisite. It's said that the old castle room is so gloomy that I'm afraid and curious.

I shot some night scenes aimlessly, which can be regarded as an account of the capital.

Let's stop here this time. The next journey was to Estonia, Latvian and Lithuanian, and across the Baltic Sea to Denmark. The preview of the next episode is as follows. Riga, more gentlemanly than Tallinn. Follow in the footsteps of fish balls@ I thought there was only basketball in Lithuania. A cruise ship full of drunkards. Underwear Party at the Youth Travel Club in Copenhagen. Whoa. It's finally finished.

last. Thank you for your patience. Thanks for cicada's travel notes. Thank you for helping me all the way. Thank you for your time. Bow. AND。 If you see it, too. I'll be happy.
