A glorious morning in Geiranger! - a photo on Flickriver

The 12th day the sun came out and I turned crazy. One whole day of great weather, and then Norway is at its best. In the morning I did a short hike towards this viewpoint close to Westerås Gard, drove back to the viewpoint in the distance on the right (the classic view), and then went towards Lom, stepping out my car all the time, doing short hikes, stunning beauty everywhere. Geiranger probably will be what Moraine lake was for my Canada vacation (many more to come) but also the trip to Lom was breathtaking (more to come later). Enjoy!

One of the aspects of Norwegian life I like are the scenic buildings, this little shed with a green roof fits nicely in the landscape. Another thing is that green roofs are very common in Norway, a thing we can learn something from here in the Netherlands.

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...).
