Quite rainy in Velledalen, Sykkylven, and wonderful reflections from of mountains in lake Fetvatnet.

Holetindane og Ystevasshornet er en del av samme fjellmassiv.
I bakgrunnen ser man elvene fra Drivdalen (nedenfor Råna) i midten og fra Regndalen til venstre.

Allmost all glaciers gone, look for the light areas on the mountains to see where the ice once were.

Thank you very much for the comments !
Very unusual to see the fjord so reflecting. Most of the time there will be winds here, due to heat difference between sea and land.
The waves are leftovers from waves coming from the Atlantic.
Sykkylven is south of Ålesund on the Norwegian west coast, and this is a small (although 10 km long) arm of the Storfjorden, which here is 3-5 km wide.
Storfjorden in a dominating feature in Sunnmøre, effectively dividing the district in two. It is more than 100 km long, going from west of Ålesund to Geiranger and Tafjord.
Approx 650 m.a.s.l., viewpoint at approx 700 m.
Velledalen valley, with the main road going to Sykkylven to the left, to Stranda up the valley and then turning to the right. The valley is close to sea level, the road to stranda passes at about 550 m.
The central mountain in the background is Ystevasshornet (or Nibbetindane), to the left of the middle is Myrdalsfjellet (Or Slubba) with Kleivdalsfjellet and Roaldshorn behind. To the far right (partly covered in clouds) is Sætretinden (Or Dalmannshornet).
Regndalen is behind the black mountain wall on the right hand side.
Because the mountains are between the two villages, many of them have two names, depending on who you talk to.
View from Ørskog on the other side of the Storfjorden fjord.
Half way between Ålesund and Geiranger, just after the first sharp turn in the fjord when you start going south towards Hellesylt.
Note the red balls marking the power lines crossing the fjord.

På den andre siden av vatnet er Sætretindane / Dalmannstinden
Begge disse fjellene har to navn, avhengig av om man er i Sykkylven eller Stranda. Selv om begge disse fjella ligger i Sykkylven, så har Stranda-navnet blitt mest brukt - særlig for Ystevasshornet. Årsaken er at toppene er letterst tilgjengelig fra Strandasida. Ystevasshornet er dessuten et viktig turmål for skigåere som starter ved skianlegget på Strandafjellet.
Man når Storevatnet fra en sti nær Brunstadsætra. På grunn av plasseringen er vannet islagt og området snødekt til langt ut på sommeren.
For info: This is not a crater lake, the valley has been shaped by a glacier. The mountains are of ordinary folded Scandinavian bedrock. You don't find a volcano here, there is no hint of volcanic activity for at least half a billion years.

Psa 121:1- 2 I look to the mountains; where will my help come from? My help will come from God, who made heaven and earth.
A small cloud entered the scene and suddenly everything looked different. I lasted for less than a minute, but enough for eg to climb a small hill and make a photo.
What a day in Sykkylven's longest and most beautiful mountain valley.
