Photo of the Month: A Norwegian Fisherman's Wife @ Barbara Redding
The midnight sun cast a warm glow on the Fisherkona sculpture as our cruise ship slipped out of the Svolvær harbor in Norway’s Lofoten Archipelago on a June night in 2025. Sculptor Per Ung’s statue of a woman scanning the horizon honors the wives and families who once waited anxiously for cod fishermen to return from the perilous North Sea. Viewing the sculpture from the Havilia Voyages ship brought home the sacrifices made by those who depended on the sea’s bounty.
