David Charlton – Lotofen Islands. Arctic Norway

David Charlton who comes over from Derby once again for our November talk will take us north to Norway, somewhere that has the attraction of cooler summers than we have been experiencing! Of this talk David writes; Lofoten Islands, Arctic Norway July 2023. A truly beautiful archipelago with 24 hour daylight in summer. The sun is always low so the quality of the light is golden. Wild flowers abound. Many familiar in the UK but growing everywhere. Surely one of the most beautiful places anywhere.s.
