One of the most popular hikes in all of Norway. To the left is lake Gjende. It is colored green by rivers from sorrounding glaciers. To the right is lake Bessvannet
Before starting on my Canada 2017 shots, a Norwegian shot that I still want to share. Taken one day after Jotunheimen, in fact it is in the Jotunheimen area, early in the morning. Weather predictions were very bad, but here it still was decent. but soon after this picture it was game over.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active
vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- Trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
