Bjørsetstølen
This winter has been very British, rain, rain and more rain. So I have hardly taken a photo, and have to go back to the summer of 2018 to find something to post.
This is a set of photos from a walk that is called "Bjørsetfjellet rundt". We started at 262 meter above sea level, walked up a valley towards Årdal, follwing a ridge to the highest point at 1003 meters, then returning along a different ridge and on the way back down to the startpoint find a little treasure like this. Ut.no says it is a 15,3 km roundtrip.
This is Bjørsetstølen (støl meaning summer mountain pasture, where they brought the cows during mid summer to pastures and to milk them) looking across the Jølstravatn to Sanddalen.
I have a feud going with a good Flickr friend John, about trees or no trees. He think a managed forest, and more planted trees in Britain, are a good thing. (If I understand him correctly) Living in Norway where more and more of our hikes are ruined by wild brushes and trees, and where you have to go higher and higher to find views not spoiled by the pest, I have landed on the standpoint that "only a dead tree is a good tree!" Imagine this view blocked by trees and brushes. I rest my case!
There are more photos in the first comment.
