Jotunheimen
I left Lom on the 13th day and set course to Jotunheimen. The weather was gorgeous all day long, and I took several detours and did some hiking in the Jotunheimen area. Later at night I arrived at the top of route 55 and was overwhelmed by the amazing scenery while parking my car coincidentally next to one of my colleagues, who was also traveling in Norway at that time (:)).
Jotunheimen is one of those places that I will certainly go back when the weather is better. The amazing glaciers and bare landscapes are stunningly beautiful, and hadn't the weather not changed (in this picture you see the foreboding of that change coming rapidly) I would have spent the night on the top, because this shot is only a minor reflection of its beauty (later more). But in combination with my previous picture (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/30978449821) even dark pictures can make great images when there is some light popping up somewhere.
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...).
