Last Updated: 17/02/2023

On this edition of Friday Photo Roundup we've looked to you, dear reader and fellow Nordic enthusiast, for your fun and fascinating shots taken around the region and tagged #NordicVisitor on social media.

Not only are each of the pictures below wonderful in their own right, but Nordic Visitor travellers who have tagged their snaps #NordicVisitor are also now in the running to win our big Nordic Photo of the Month contest... a new winner will be announced in just over a week from now so get sharing and tagging!

Danielle and Daniel are currently travelling through Norway with Nordic Visitor and have been posting a flurry of inspiring shots on Instagram. The couple headed out on the Norway in a Nutshell & Pulpit Rock tour to mark Daniel's 30th birthday!

Danielle's Instagram posts of her and Daniel's ferry crossings in Norway's famed fjords make us wish we were there.

Says Danielle of their adventure so far: "Each city we have traveled through so far has something even more beautiful then the last. We are already planning our 2nd trip back and we have not even finished the first!"

Meanwhile in Iceland, Catharine, a member of Nordic Visitor's web and marketing team and the author of this very post, marked the Icelandic holiday Sumardagurinn Fyrsti (First Day of Summer) with a visit to the always beautiful Þingvellir National Park.

A scenic drive through Iceland's Þingvellir National Park was a great way to mark Sumardagurinn Fyrsti.

In Sweden, our own Cecilia snapped a real live deer just hanging out in sunny Stockholm, not far from Nordic Visitor's Södermalm offices!

Deer are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed ;)
