Norway is a place of endless natural beauty. Incredible fjords, winding small roads, raw tunnels carved through the bedrock and so much more. These images are from summer road trips during 2024.
These images do not utilize AI and are original imagery with no items added or removed (such as errant leaves, pieces of trash, or power lines). What you see is as close to the moment as I experienced it.

The Swiss Alps, see from the top of Mount Pilatus, near Lucerne.
Mount Pilatus rises high over the shores of Lake Lucerne, only a short bus ride away from the centre of Lucerne itself.
The mountain rose to prominence in the 19th century, when Wagner – a famous resident of Lucerne – hailed its vistas and Queen Victoria visited its summit on horseback.
The peak rises 2,132m (7,000ft) high and popular legend has it that it was named after Pontius Pilate, whose corpse was thrown into a lake at its summit and whose ghost haunted the mountain ever since. However, it is more likely named for the Latin word ‘pileatus’, meaning cloud-covered, given the weather conditions which often surround it.
While Queen Victoria rode her horse to the summit, it is now possible to take either a cable car or a funicular train to reach the top – the latter is dependent on the season, as snow covers the tracks during winter.
At the summit, there is a visitor centre, hotels and restaurants, as well as various footpaths which lead you to viewpoints over Lake Lucerne on one side and the Swiss Alps in the distance on the other.

A vast alpine landscape unfolds beneath a clear blue sky in Valmasque Valley, Mercantour National Park. Jagged peaks dominate the horizon, while the foreground features a large flat rock resting among scattered stones and grassy patches. The contrast between the sharp mountain ridges and the smoother terrain below evokes both strength and serenity. This scene captures the raw essence of the French Alps—untamed, timeless, and quietly majestic.

The day after the Sugarcraft North exhibition, my lovely husband and I embarked on an epic drive across Western Europe to Vienna, which is where my sister lives.
We still had four of the prizewinning India cupcakes to eat so took them with us to snack on - this is just before we ate the final one, about half an hour away from Innsbruck in Austria. Stunning scenery - shame about the pylon!
It was a wonderful holiday, visiting all sorts of places on the way that we wouldn't necessarily have considered for a holiday destination but are definitely worth exploring. If anyone has a passing interest in the European roadtrip they can view a slideshow of some of my husband's brilliant photos here.
(I'd actually deferred the holiday until the day after Sugarcraft North so that I could enter the competitions, so glad that I did!).

A tourist brochure, in German and French, for the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon-Bahn including panoramic views as would be seen from the train during its passage through the Bernese Oberland and the Lötschberg. This private, electrified railway opened in 1913 and formed an important link on journeys between France and Italy via Bern and the Simplon routes. Not dates, but likley mid-century, the cover is by W. Mühlemann of Berne, the panoramic illustrations are by H. Thöni and the printing is by the well known Kümmerley & Frey.

The Cascade du Rouget roars with life, enveloped in a soft mist that dances in the golden light of the morning sun. The vibrant greenery surrounding the falls adds depth to the scene, while the lone figure on the hill offers a sense of scale and awe. This photograph captures the raw power of nature paired with its serene beauty, drawing the viewer into a tranquil yet exhilarating moment.
La Cascade du Rouget rugit de vie, enveloppée d’une brume légère qui danse sous la lumière dorée du soleil matinal. La verdure éclatante qui entoure la chute d’eau ajoute de la profondeur à la scène, tandis que la silhouette solitaire sur la colline offre une échelle et une impression de grandeur. Cette photo capture la puissance brute de la nature alliée à sa beauté sereine, plongeant le spectateur dans un moment à la fois apaisant et exaltant.
