The journey home to Switzerland
Shovelling out the car at 6 am, a ferry into the sunrise and two calm flights later: our Nordic winter adventure ends with pizza in Basel.
Norway
No country has shaped our photography like Norway. Between the western fjords, the Atlantic Road and the Lofoten Islands in the north, there are enough scenes for a photographer’s lifetime, and we’ve only just started.
This page collects everything from Norway: our posts, photo spots with coordinates, and the routes that have proven themselves.
