While visiting our daughter in Tromsø a couple of weeks ago we took a hike to a mountain called "Buren", on an island next to Tromsø called Kvaløya ("Whale island"). It was a foggy and rainy day, so my DSLR camera was in my backpack most of the trip. All pictures, except the first is taken with my smartphone. The hike is around 7 km with a beautiful view to the fjord and mountains almost the whole way up. On the way up we saw a big flock with grouse flying up in front of us, It must have been more than 50 of them. A nice experience to see so many birds with white wings against the orange and grey rocks, (and the camera in my backpack).

The starting point of the hike is by the fjord Ersfjorden.

The the low cloud cover and fog was stable around the top during the day and we did not reach the top on this hike.

Mange takk for vakre bilde frå Buren på Kvaløya @Harkar
Eg er kjent med vakkert landskap frå mine turar til Andøya om sommaren, så at det er vakkert landskap i nærleiken er ikkje nokon overrasking.
Haustfargane er fine Nord-Norge, og dei har du fått med på bileta.

Tusen takk for hyggelig kommentar. Det er første gang jeg har gått i fjellet rundt Tromsø og det ga mersmak.👍🏻
