Mefjord, Senja

Yesterday afternoon we went out for afternoon/sunset locations: stopped at a few places & finally ended up back at the beach with the wild waves again, Tungenset. I absolutely loved the waves at this place. It's dangerous of that there is no doubt, I would never have ventured there without a guide showing us the right spots to be.  Even then, a few times a massive wave arrived and had those closet to the sea dashing for cover. I was slightly further back and had my insulated wellies on, so I simply stayed where I was with no problem. In some circumstances, I think it can be more dangerous to run - the rocks are slippery and you risk falling.  I also had my micro spikes on (kind of mini crampon type things that fit over your boots to provide a solid grip in icy/slippery surfaces). 
I'm stuck in bed today, I thought my cold/flu thing was improving but it took a turn for the worse last night and it is just asking for trouble to be out in the cold for 5-6 hours.

This phone pic doesn't do the beach justice: the sand was golden, the waves turquoise, & it would not have looked out of place in the Mediterranean... except the temp was probably only around 1-2 degrees and there was snow above the high tide mark.
