The perfect U shaped valley

When I was in secondary school, geography lessons told me about V-shaped valleys, and U shaped valleys. I still remember the images in the book. A V-shaped valley is shaped by the eroding actions of a river, but a U shaped valley is formed because of the working of glaciers, and when I came upon this lookout I immediately remembered the schoolbook image, and I dare say I never saw a more perfect example of a U shape valley! A fantastic sight!

 

Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.

 

 

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...).
