Pining for the fjords! Kayaker captures breathtaking Norwegian landscapes from the water... and gains 10,000 Instagram followers<br /> <br /> Would you believe that these breathtaking photos were seen through the lens of a kayaker's GoPro camera?  <br /> Intrepid Tomasz Furmanek spends his spare time away from the Institute of Marine Research gliding atop the waters in some Norway's most idyllic beauty spots.<br /> For 10 years, Tomasz, a software developer, has visited many of the fjords in western Norway, inland lakes and the areas around Lofoten Islands in the northern part of the country.<br /> <br /> But for Tomasz the main reason he has spent so much time kayaking is because he finds it relaxing.<br /> He said: 'I kayak mainly because it is an easy way to get mental balance.<br /> 'You get close to nature in a kayak and can experience things that is not possible while hiking.'<br /> <br /> For the past two years, Tomasz has been documenting his trips and uploading what he calls an 'adventure blog' to his 10,000 followers on Instagram.<br /> 'I do not upload private pictures,' said Tomasz.<br /> 'The Instagram feed is more an adventure blog than a personal profile.<br /> 'The people that follow my account are mainly interested in kayaking, although I have some followers that do not do kayaking.<br /> <br /> 'I had about ten thousand followers this summer before I went to Lofoten with Kristoffer Vandbakk who I met on Instagram.<br /> 'After three weeks of kayaking in Lofoten area, I gained about ten thousand new followers.'<br /> Tomasz mainly uses a helmet mounted GOPRO3+ camera for photos and videos and a Sony RX100mk2 in a waterproof box on the front deck of the kayak. <br /> ©Tomasz Furmanek/Exclusivepix Media
