Some summer holiday shots captured between Bodø and Moskenes in Lofoten from a ferry.

Bodø is a city and municipality in the county of Nordland, Norway.
The city of Bodø was established as a municipality January 1, 1838. Bodø, located just north of the Arctic Circle, is the largest city in Nordland, and the second largest in North Norway.
The city lies just north of the Arctic Circle where the midnight sun is visible from June 2 to July 10. Due to atmospheric refraction, there is no true polar night in Bodø, but because of the mountains south of Bodø, the sun is not visible from the city from early December to early January. Average number of sunhours in Bodø is highest in June with 221 hours; May averages 218 and August 167, while March gets 114, October 54 and December only 0.4 (source: met.no, 1961-90).
As the northern terminus of Nordlandsbanen, Bodø is the northern end of the railroad network of Norway. However, travellers going further north will often switch to a corresponding bus in Fauske bound for Narvik. There is also a railway from Narvik to Kiruna in Sweden, and further into the Swedish rail network. The railway station opened in 1961. Bodø Airport lies two km outside the city centre and was opened in 1952. The airport served 1 308 000 passengers in 2004. Ferries run between Bodø and the Lofoten Islands.

Moskenes is a municipality in the county of Nordland, Norway. Moskenes is a part of Lofoten.

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old farm Moskenes ("Muskenes" 1567), since the first church was built there. The meaning of the first element is unknown, the last element is nes n 'headland'.

Moskenes is among the most scenic municipalities in all Norway, and the picturesque fishing villages of Hamnøy, Reine, Sørvågen, Moskenes, Å and Tind have a dramatic backdrop of jagged peaks rising above the Vestfjord.
Between Lofotodden, the southwestern tip of the Lofoten chain, and the offshore island of Mosken, there is the tidal current of Moskstraumen. This is better known internationally as the Maelstrom, feared by all sailors. On the isolated north western coast of the island, there are also interesting stone age cave paintings. The highest mountain is Hermannsdalstinden 1,029 m (3300 ft).
