is luring me uphill.
'This is as strange a sight
as you'll ever see -
'thousands of headless cod
hung up on poles. '
Do you speak English? Sorry?
No? English?
Polish. Poland.
You're Poland? And you? Poland.
Three Poland? Yes. 'It seems in Norway, like
in the UK, it's the Poles who do the work,
'but I've never seen Poles
on poles before. '
Um, how many fish?
I don't know. You don't know.
'Within a month, nearly five million
cod will be hung out to dry here.
'We know the Vikings invaded Britain with
Lofoten dried fish in their knapsacks.
'Back then drying was about the only
option for preserving protein.
'It's more of a surprise to me that this delicacy
remains one of Norway's most profitable exports. '
Smells of fish, but not a bad smell. Just a
pretty sort of all-pervasive aroma of fish.
Thank you. Spasibo.
What's that?! It might be
something terrible! Goodbye, guys.
'As I was pottering around, I bumped into a
man who turns out to be A's lord of the manor,
'Sigur Elingsen'
I am born here. Yeah?
So I'm the fifth generation and my grandson is
going to take over. He's working in the summer.
The seventh generation on this spot.
When you say working here,
you own this? Yes.
You own A? A and Tind!
And Tind! Yes.
And how many rorbu do you have here?
Because the fishing is good. Yeah.
We are the closest spot to the Gulf Stream
and that's where the best fishes are.
This has been going on for hundreds
of years. More than that. Really?
'Fish facts are fascinating, even for
a fake fur-wearing vegetarian like me
'who doesn't even feel comfortable with leather.
What about the catch I'm after, the Northern Lights?'
Will I see them, do you think, here?
Not now.
I think it's not cold enough.
And, eh...
No, it must be colder. Yeah. And
then it's flashing all over the sky.
It's absolutely marvellous. Is it?
The great thing about A seems to be,
probably because we're so far up,
the light comes in a different way.
So colours seem really... fresh washed.
Everything seems
so clean and sharp.
the conjunction of colours.
They have these dark red houses
with the most beautiful,
light, warm, sax-blue
window frames and corners.
And then white round the windows to bring in as much
light as possible. It's a fashion going out in England.
A lot of people have brown wood round the windows.
Don't do it! Paint your brown windows white.
You'll have a much happier life.
I'm going to do the boulders now.
I want the white to look white,
so I'll give it more energy.
This is a very cloudy, stormy sky
