September 2016
This was our last month in Norway. From Tromsø we continued to drive north: via a quick detour through Finland, we came through Kautokeino, visited the northern end of Norway, and waved a “Hello” to Russia in Kirkenes before heading back south again.
The landscape was uniquely beautiful: mostly empty landscape with lots of bushes, lakes and hills. The autumn colours and the low sun made for a very picturesque and colourful scenery.
I’ll start of with a few leftover shots from Tromsø.

After a little search we found batteries that fit and were kind of ok for the job. At the double of German prices though.

Spent a few nights at this very spot in northern Finnland on our way towards Kautokeino (Norway).

It was time for some more thorough cleaning.

Further north. Middle of nowhere. Popular walking track to a canyon.

We hiked to the canyon too, of course.

Crossed a few streams. In colour…

…and black and white.

I was mainly fascinated by these tree formations.

I believe these were direction signs for snow mobiles in the snowy season

Or b&w? Anyhow, we had some great spots to wake up to!

That’s the lighthouse at Gamvik/Slettnes in the very north of Norway. Another nice place where we spent a couple of days.

We were glad we had this cover. Keeps the cockpit way warmer in the cold!

A dog I met (incl. its owner) right at the border to Russia.
![](/images/2016/09/960w/094.jpg)
He also had a Moose: dead, cut to pieces and wrapped in plastic.
