New references for my grandfather tattoo

I've been working on some of the material for my grandfather portrait, I want to incorporate some of the northern Norway feel to it.

Here are some of the pictures I want to use as refrences to feed the creative'o'meter on the artist.

Wolf-fish also known as Catfish is the fish I remember the most from my childhood and is one bad mother of a fish. The biting reflex still works after its dead, you do not want to put your finger in a mouth on a wolf-fish! Or anything else for that mather...



I also like the midnight sun, but im not sure how it fits with the rest of the theme.

This is a view from my familys cabin.

This is cloudberry, a delicous berry that only grows in the northern parts of the world.

This is yarn balls, they were used before plastic were invented by fishermen to find fishnets and stuff back in the days. My uncle got lots of these laying around in the boathouse.



The White-tailed Eagle also known as Sea Eagle is a pretty common sight when we are at the familiy cabin.
