Description
Rorbu is a traditional type of seasonal house used by fishermen, normally located in a fishing village. The buildings are built on land, but with the one end on poles in the water, allowing easy access to vessels. The style and term is used along the coast of Western Norway and Northern Norway, and is most common on Lofoten and northwards to eastern Finnmark. The use of rorbu for fishing has diminished and the style of housing is now largely used to rent out to tourists.

A superb image, Heiko! At first I thought this was the Lofotens, which I visited years ago. You are a fine shooter and have brought back fine memories for me. V/F

Hi Steve, your first thought was right, Sakrisoy is one of the Lofoten Islands. My wife and I love to travel up in the far north of Norway. Thank you favoring and voting. Heiko
