ABOUT SUND<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Fishing heritage in buildings, boats and harbour details<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sund is a small fishing village on Flakstad\u00f8ya, surrounded by rugged mountains and the open sea. Its collection of traditional buildings, boats and harbour details gives it a strong sense of Lofoten's fishing heritage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The village is also home to one of Lofoten's oldest tourist attractions: the Sund Blacksmith and Museum, where the traditions of the local smithy have been preserved for generations.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t
WHY PHOTOGRAPHERS COME HERE<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Textures, reflections and layered harbour scenes, plus a working smithy full of detail shots when it is open.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Sund harbour<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A good starting point for photographing the traditional buildings, boats and surrounding mountains. Look for compositions along the waterfront where the boats, wooden structures and mountains create natural layers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tOpen in Google Maps \u2192\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

LIGHT & CONDITIONS<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Soft morning or evening light<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Soft morning or evening light works particularly well around the harbour, bringing out the textures of the old wooden buildings and boats. Cloudy days can also add atmosphere, especially when the mountains disappear into mist.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
