Spreading your wings, ready to fly – which Path will you choose for the new year?
I am hoping mine will give me many inspiring photo moments. One of the highlights this year was a visit to bird watchers paradise Hornøya – located in arctic Norway.

Witches’ Memorial – a memorial for the witchcraft persecutions in Finnmark in the 17th century.
During the period 1600-1692, 91 people were convicted of witchcraft in Finnmark and burned to death at the stake, most of them here in Vardø where the memorial is located.
You can enter the 410-foot-long wooden structure. Inside it is dark, only lit up by small light bulbs hanging from the roof. Each light bulb commemorating a convicted person.
On the walls are short texts about the trial and execution for each of the persons convicted for magic, or witchcraft.
