Located on a small peninsula in Norway’s Lofoten Islands' Nusfjord lies an old cod liver oil factory ('trandamperiet'). The distinctive yellow paint gains its colour from the mix of ochre and cod liver oil. The colour yellow was often used to denote commercial premises.
Nusfjord was a relatively easy day trip from our an initial Lofoten Islands base at Ballstad, down an stunningly picturesque…
