Ospøytåna Fyr is a new sector light on the skerries and reefs near Ospa Island. The old lighthouse didn't comply with IALA standards and had to be replaced. www.kystverket.no/en/fairway/transition-to-iala-standard

Risøyrenna

Gudrun has posted:

Risøyrenna is a 4850m long, 50m wide and 6m deep channel leading to the harbour at Risøyhamn. When excavating was finished in 1922 larger boats could use the passage which considerably improved connections to the Vesterålen islands from the north.

Clouds, smoke and something green

The light coloured "cloud" in the foreground is smoke from the ship's chimney as a gust of wind pushed it in our direction. There was a bit of swearing from photographers...;-)

The only green in the sky we saw this year. A brief break in the clouds, but the next snowstorm is already coming in from the left. There's also quite a bit of light pollution from the harbour.

Sandvika

Gudrun has posted:

Sandvika is a beach popular with locals, especially surfers. It is situated in Alnes at the NW end of the island of Godøya which is the last in a chain of islands linked to Ålesund by underwater tunnels.
From Ålesund the island is unmistakable, it's the mountainous one on the horizon (just right of the middle in the clickable PiP)

Giske Church

Gudrun has posted:

Die aus Marmor (unter Verputz nicht zu sehen) erbaute Kirche stammt in dieser Form vermutlich aus dem 14. Jahrhundert.
Ursprünglich war hier die Privatkapelle der Adelsfamilie Giske, die Verbindungen zum norwegischen Königshaus hatte. Eine Tochter aus dem Hause Giske heiratete den norwegischen König Harald III. Hardråde, der 1066 bei Stamford Bridge fiel.
Später wurde die Kirche zur Pfarrkirche.

Originally the private chapel of the noble Giske family, the current church probably dates from the 14th century. The Giske family had ties to the Norwegian kings, one daughter married King Harald III. Hardråde who died in 1066 in the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
Later the marble church (the marble doesn't show under the whitewash) was used as a parish church.
