On the fourth day i hiked in Rondane NP. I was told the day before that the view here was the best view someone ever had seen and that made me curious. although I think I have seen more spectacular vistas in my life it was a nice 15 km walk, with very changeable weather. The bare landscape at higher altitudes (>1600m) is one of Norway's attractions.

  

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...).

I took this three years ago on my first attempt to find Wallace`s Hut

I skied 20 klms and hiked about the same distance in soft snow

The mistake happened at Langford Gap when I got on the Aqueduct they didn`t tell me I had to take the west and not the east

I returned to the scene to find it well sign posted on my recent roadtrip

During winter the Bogong High Plains Road is closed at Falls Creek Ski Resort and somewhere down the Omeo end and it used as a cross country ski area

This is one of the ponds on the aqueduct

This is a five shot stitch

and here was the view from the previous overlook pic

CL has been at the top of my NP bucket list for a long time

this kinda shows why :)

Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the US, thus that amazing blue!!

A common sight on my last trip to Addo Elephant NP, South Africa

Stenciled for company ice service.

 

Usually saw these traveling with steel and tie gang work trains. At the time they more than likely were the newest piece of equipment in the train.

Northern Pacific's unique piece of equipment that hauled a lot of pork on the hoof to slaughter in the Seattle area.

 

Armour had a sizeable buying station just west of Mandan, ND where farmers could sell their animals and these cars were used for the trip west.

We were supposed to be on our big trip to CA & OR right now. Obviously, all that changed with the pandemic and now all the riots. We would have been in Yosemite NP on Sunday evening, today and tomorrow. So these pictues from a YNP calendar will have to do for now.

Two more views of this beautiful park in Northern California. Unfortunately, it has been ravaged by the Dixie fire since shortly after we were there. The area around Summit Lake (below) is still closed to visitors but other areas are now open.

HFF!

A wonderful November afternoon with a view of rising fog layers in the NP, National Park Kellerwald, very close to Lake Edersee.

 

Thanks for watching and happy Saturday.

 

Back in September 2009, our family went on a 3-week vacation across the western US, trying to visit as many national parks as possible. Being homeschooled allowed us to go when most kids were back in school, so the parks were not as crowded.

It was windy. This photographer was doing his best to get above the blowing sand. Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley NP, CA

The Northern Pacific Railway built this brick and sandstone depot for passengers, freight, and mail in the town of Ellensburg, Washington.

 

Completed in 1910, the structure served as a primary point of entry into the Kittitas Valley area until 1981, when Amtrak's North Coast Hiawatha departed for the last time.

Yellowstone Canyon

This smaller geyser sprung up when we waiting for Old Faithful. There are several other geysers other than Old Faithful here. I believe this one is called Beehive Geyser because of it's shape.

BNSF 8893 takes L-MON2021 under the former Northern Pacific cantilever at east end Big Timber, with a short train for Bozeman.
