19.9.2024: Nusfjord - Flakstad - Nusfjord/Mellomvatnet.
ANother rainy day, and stormy - at least in exposed areas, as is true on the opposite side of the island. We want to prove that and drive to the North-western coast, that is Flakstad.
The wooden church of Flakstad ...
... with the large carpark in front. The door is locked however.
Flakstad´s church.
The cemetary lying a bit apart.
Flakstad cemetary, with Flakstadtinden (484 m) in behind.
More rain showers today, with more little rainbows.
Stormy sea with heavy wind. Makes good peeling for the skin on the sand beach.
Waves ...
On the way back, the shallow Flakstadpollen.
The weather is a bit better now, and in the narrow valley there´s no wind, so we walk a bitinto the valley behind Nusfjord. This is the Nervatnet (at 14 m asl), ...
... partially silt up.

A bit more up the valley ...

Mellomvatnet
Small weir beneath the lake.
Mellomvatnet. I try the narrow path along the lake, but give up after some time, ´cause that turns to climbing over slippery rocks.

Once more Nervatnet
Nervatnet. A shower is drawing in. Time to draw back into the small house.
