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...).
This shot was taken on my first driving day on my way to Lillehammer. The first stretch I drove the E6, but after a while I decided to do the little village roads. It was a rewarding decision because the views are much nicer, and when the sun comes out ......
In Lillehammer I met Adelheid, and spent a pleasant evening with her. I hope you like my pictures Adelheid!

On the morning of the second day i woke up with stunning weather. The picture here was taken at the border of the Mjösa lake at the Lillehammer campsite where i was staying, and I was excited to start this day because I had planned to do the scenic Per Gynt road. Unfortunately the second part of the day the clouds came in, and I learned weather in Norway can change very fast.

In Bergen and Oslo I saw the paintings from JC Dahl, a Norwegian painter who lived in the heyday of European romanticism (which was a reaction to ratio and the "Enlightenment" of the fin de siecle of the 18thcentury. He is often described as "the father of Norwegian landscape painting, and his style with idyllic landscapes and warm light has until now influenced how Norway is being portrayed to attract tourists. So when I saw this picture when I got back home I realized I am a romanticist as well.
This picture was taken at the end of the third day, when I came back from Rondane NP, and again, suddenly when the sun popped out, I had to get out of my car to grab the moment.

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.

On my fifth day the weather predictions for coming days were awful and I decided to go into the direction of Roros (and later Trondheim), but first I drove along the E27 because it was said to be very scenic. I think that might be true, but with all the rain and darkness, I probably missed the most.
This amazingly beautiful viewpoint was spoiled (in a way), because with sun this is truly spectacular (www.nasjonaleturistveger.no/en/routes/rondane), and it crossed my mind many times I should go back if the weather in Norway turned better and I was around. Unfortunately it didn't so one good excuse to go back!
