Hardangervidda - a photo on Flickriver

Hardangervidda

On the 25th day of my Norway trip I went from Eidjord to Dagali close to Geilo, and in between I crossed the Hardangervidda.

Amazing ancient landscape with an arctic climate. It was rather windy, and although I had hoped for clear skies to hike the area, most of the time there were a lot of clouds and darkness, but from time to time some sunny moments. This landscape is typically what you can find in Norway when you come above 1600-1800 meters (see also Rondane). It is bare but beautiful, and talking about textures, stones and lichens, this is the place to be. I made several panorama shots to find the best way to show all the stones lying around as if giants had been throwing around a few pebbles.

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...).
