The next trip would be towards Alta, where I needed to take a ferry and the Lyngen Alps also look great from across the water.

Some of my highlights in Alta would be the Northern Lights Cathedral and the “World Heritage Rock Art Centre | Alta Museum”. Unfortunately was the cathedral closed, so I couldn’t see the inside, but the building itself is definitely good looking!

For the “World Heritage Rock Art Centre | Alta Museum”, there was some awesome plants and the rock art was great to see. The drawings here were between 1000 and 7000 years old. Most of the ‘older’ drawings had red coloring, but the younger drawings were all cleaned to preserve the original drawings. This meant that they were a lot harder to see, especially on a photo, so I only added the ‘colored’ drawings in here.

On my trip to the North Cape, a straight road instead of following the cliffs, which was a nice change on this trip. The view also help while driving though 😄.

On my trip to the North Cape a long and definitely not windy road with beautiful weather!
Should stack rocks, but when they are already there, it’s a nice time to make a pictures (at the side of the “Goahtermuorjohka” river)

While I was visiting the North Cape, I had the worst weather of my trip. This means that my pictures there were not the usual ones with a great view as a backdrop, but the white of the fog. Beforehand I saw a lot of pictures of the ‘globe’, but I liked the sculptures of the “Children of the World” sculputres a lot better!

Children of the world sculpture at the North Cape (the weather of yesterday is definitely not to be found today). In my opinion better than the globe, which the North Cape is known for…
The all famous globe on the North Cape (without the famous view, due to storm, rain and fog)🤣🤣

That was it for part 3, continue to part 4.

Cheers,
Paul
