The Lofoten are located in the north of Norway. My little sister had a work meeting Oslo, so it was the perfect opportunity for my mum and me to tag along and explore what we could afterwards. We were there in June which meant that the sun would never really set. It would go down and get close to the horizon but never disappear behind it. This also meant that there would be really long, stretched out sunsets/sunrises making the golden hour more like golden hours. Great for photographers.
