This high lookout lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjords, overlooking the beautiful view of the Neroydalen valley (UNESCO world heritage landscape) and reachable via the highway E16.
Down I drove by the old winding road Stalheimskleiva, which has 13 hairpin bends with the maximum grade of 20 %. This route is the Northern Europe’s steepest road and included in the site "dangerousroads" - the world's most spectacular roads. It’s a one-way road going down and is open from May to September.

В сердце норвежских фьордов

Эта высотная смотровая площадка находится в самом сердце норвежских фьордов, открывает роскошный вид на долину Neroydalen (влючен в список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО) и достижима по пути вверх по трассе E16.
Вниз же я ехал по старой извилистой дороги Stalheimskleiva, которая имеет 13 крутых поворотов-шпилек с максимальным уклоном в 20%. Этот маршрут - самая крутая дорога Северной Европы, включенная в список "dangerousroads" - самых захватывающих и опасных дорог мира.
Дорога открыта с мая по сентябрь и только в одну сторону (вниз).

This evenings view in Hatchers Pass on the Little Susitna River. The cabins are remnants from a past lodge near this spot.

The Klondike Highway creeps around mountains along the shore of Tutshi Lake in British Columbia’s Stikine Region.
Weather clearing with stiff wind in the higher country. From the height of summer. Thanks for looking and may your day be good.
One year ago today at the "Prinzenkopf" tower between Bullay and Pünderich on the river Moselle.
The river here makes a long bend, coming from the right and left flows downriver.
Heute vor einem Jahr auf dem Prinzenkopfturm zwischen Bullay und Pünderich an der Mosel.
Der Fluß macht hier eine lange Kehre, kommt von rechts und fließt links moselabwärts.

Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres above the Lysefjorden. Atop the cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres.
The hike to Preikestolen from the closest car park is very steep and takes 2–3 hours. The path starts at an elevation of about 270 metres above sea level, and climbs to 604 metres. Though the vertical drop is only 334 metres, the total elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike is more than one might initially expect, as the path climbs and descends various ridges.
But the hard way is fully compensated by the breathtaking views ...
This picture is an attempt to find a non-trivial view of this one of the most famous places in Norway.
Usually it shows a plateau with people, someone on the edge of the cliff, or view separately. Here I tried to combine the mystique of rock and a view of the fjord ...

Прекестулен - крутая скала на высоте 604 м над Люсе-фьордом. На вершине скалы находится плоское плато размером примерно 25 на 25 м. Поход к вершине от автостоянки крутой и занимает 2-3 часа: начало пути лежит на высоте 270 м и завершается на высоте 604 м. Хотя перепад высот только 334 м, общий объем подъемов и спусков намного более ожидаемого поначалу, т.к. дорога петляет по гребням и утесам. Но сложность пути с лихвой компенсируется захватывающими видами ...
Этот снимок - попытка найти нетривиальный ракурс этого одного из самых известных мест в Норвегии. Обычно показывают плато с людьми, кого-то на краю обрыва или вид скалы отдельно. Здесь пытался совместить загадочность скалы и вид на фьорд ...

On Bringsty Common, near Bromyard in Herefordshire. The promise of a bright autumn morning. The view SE towards the west flanks of British Camp on the Malvern Hills ridge. Mist still lies in the hollows.
One of the Sawtooth's most spectacular peaks catching early morning light with mists rising from Stanley Lake. A fine way to start a day.

Enjoy a wonderful Autumn weekend!
A couple of the Wrangell Range peaks rising majestically above Willow Lake.
Mt Drum (12,010 ft; 3,660 m) and Mt. Sanford (16,237 ft; 4,949 m) are both volcanoes, fortunately slumbering at this time. First time I drove thru here I could barely see the lake, with the heavy rains. Didn't know what I was missing. Sure glad I had a chance to see them on my return.
Happy Friday!
