Lofoten, autumn

Autumn can start in the second half of August on Lofoten, although it can still feel like summer. Fields and mountainsides are full of berries, including blueberries and cloudberries, a plump orange berry. In mid-August the nights are dark enough for the first time, for a short time, to see the northern lights. The landscape slowly changes color and in September the birches turn yellow and the peat areas turn a cognac color.
