The kitchen window,,,is the first place i look when i start each day. I look out to remind myself, that yes this is really my life, an not a fairytale. The view is simply amazing! I have to remind myself over and over that what i see is really what is infront of me. So I will start this blog with the mountain that sits across the fjørd an is part of my front yard. 
This is my view from my kitchen window. Amazing isn't it. That mountain is the 4th largest in the Lofotens. I have hiked only a quarter of the way up it, my husband an many of the guests that stay here has made it to the top. I can tell the weather by that mountain. When the fog comes rolling in from the sea, an its thick an heavy, we are goin to have rain. When its thin fog, we have high humidity, but it will be chilly at night, even when its the summer an the midnight sun is goin strong. In winter the Aurora Borealis comes over that mountain when the time is dark 24 hours a day,, an before. When the fog comes in dark an gray, it will snow, alot. If its a thinner gray, then we have just a little snow. I have tried to capture pictures of the northern lights when they dance across the mountain an out to the far reaches of the sky, but my camera just isn't strong enough. On that mountain when the grass is green an the days a very long, we look over at it, an you can see stone faces carved from millions of yrs of artistic sculpuring. The kids an adults that come to stay here on the farm are amazed when we show them the images in the stone. One is a big ol' troll, with big thick eyebrows, slashed eyes, an a huge nose that covers his face an a straight mouth. The others are smaller trolls, with just as eager faces to be seen as the larger is. I have found the profile of an indian face just at the edge of the top slope. In all there is over 13 faces that have come to light and enchanted almost all who find them. The eagles love that mountain i think more than i do. Theres homes are scattered at the top, an when they come down to fish its also another amazing site to see. So I think i probably do live in a fairytale setting, an its something i will never take for granted, as long as I have my kitchen window to remind me of what to expect outside.

Gosh, I can't imagine what I'm looking at! I would think you feel very protected next to it. Would love to see you bring more photos!
Oh Biita, what a spectacular view you have!
Wow what a great view. Do they always keep snow on them or not? As I have only seen mountains with snow on them in books.
Oh My, what a view you have. I would have to check it several times a day to make sure it is real too.
Absolutely fabulous - how I'd love to wake up and see views like that every day!!!
Isn't it nice to have a friendly mountain to greet you every morning?
Yes!! i get greeted every morning, always differnt when i look out. the view is always changing. i live in a valley, there is another mountain out my other kitchen window, not as big but just as majestic as that one. i took that pic about 2 weeks ago, altho i tried not to get the barn in it, but well it is part of the view too. I'll try to find a summer pic of that same scene, its is totally awesome with all the wild flowers an greenery. thank you for the comments an i'm glad you liked the pics as much as i love to look at the mountain itself
I forgot,,theres snow on the mountain for 7 out of 12 months of the yr..during summer its gone but returns by the middle of sept. altho there are mountains here on the island where the snow never melts.
An asolute fairytale setting. Biita you are so lucky - I would also pinch myself every morning just to make sure if it is real were I in you shoes.
Totally spectacular...some thing to dream about.
