500px provided description: Whispers in the Wind Lofoten Islands Norway Photographed 2014

The seaside wooden huts of the Lofoten Islands are called Rorbuer. They have are steeped in tradition, once housing scores of hardened fishermen who made the winter pilgrimage to the world?s most fertile cod fishing grounds. Fish are still the basis of all human settlement on Lofoten, but beginning in the 1960?s a number of the huts have been converted into accommodation for travelers. Visiting the Lofoten Islands and staying in a rorbu makes an already extraordinary experience even more distinctive.
