The book fixed 86 spots at the moment it went to print. The app never had to. Since the idea behind it was always that access details could keep changing after printing, the same logic works the other way too: spots don’t have to fit inside 364 pages anymore. I’ve started adding what I’m calling Lofoten bonus photo spots — places that didn’t make it into the book at all.
Six so far. More Lofoten bonus photo spots will follow — no fixed schedule, a spot goes in when it earns its place — and when I feel like sharing it — not on a release calendar.
What these bonus photo spots look like
I won’t name them, but here’s a sense of what to expect. A solitary hut facing open water, the kind of place that works because of what’s not in the frame. A waterfall working its way down a wide slab of rock rather than dropping in one line. A rock plateau reached on foot along the shore, well away from anywhere else people stand. A shallow cave-like overhang that frames a fjord if you get close enough and go wide. A bay looked down on from an old coast road, mountains lined up along the horizon on the far side. And a stretch of road where the view opens up slowly, mile by mile, until the peaks start reflecting in the water. Each comes with the same field notes as every other spot in the app — where to park, what to watch for, when the light works.
How do you get access to the bonus spots?
There’s nothing new to install, no second QR code, and nothing extra to buy. Any of the 86 codes in the book still opens to that spot’s page, and from there the full list and map are one tap away.
That list now carries a bonus-spot filter — if you’ve already got the book, jump straight to it and you’ll see exactly what’s new, without having to dig through the other 86 spots from the book.
If you don’t have the book yet: you’ll find every option on the book page — within Germany, I’d recommend ordering directly from me for better print quality — or go straight to the eBook on Payhip.
New spots are only part of it. Most of what happens between updates goes into the app itself — better data, small fixes, features that make it more useful in the field, the way the last update did.
What I’m not telling you
I’m not naming these six, and I won’t say exactly where they are. Some places stay quiet precisely because they’re hard to find — that’s part of what makes them worth visiting, and printing the name here would undo it in a way the book itself doesn’t. What I can do is show you a glimpse. And if you know the islands well and look closely, you might guess where some of these were taken.
