Once again, we got up early (no alarm clocks needed) and the first order of the day was to visit Dalsnibba, which is a viewpoint at 1500 MASL and advertises itself as giving the highest view over a fjord in the world. The fjord in question being Geiranger, and you can also see the serpentine…

The night wasn’t exactly warm, but I was quite cozy in my tent. It didn’t mean that I got a good night’s sleep though, I just couldn’t fall asleep at first and then I kept waking up during the early morning hours. Nevermind, this landscape is so awesome that it’s impossible to feel tired and…

The plan for today was to drive to Jotunheimen and camp at Juvashytta. We took the scenic route southwest of Rondane and at first we had the weather with us, with some sunshine and blue sky. We stopped at every potential spot for pictures but I guess the Norwegians have too much of the nice…

A friend is visiting, we have big plans for the week – a roadtrip in Norway and a hike to Helags. But with the weather forecast as it was, we had to give up one of them so we opted to do the roadtrip and leave Helags for another time. Which was just as well,…

Can’t say that I got a lot of rest at night, there are too many new things when sleeping in a tent that I couldn’t really sleep. Earplugs took away the sounds, but it was light and the mattress was uncomfortable and the sleeping bag felt weird and the pillow was too small… I gave…

This is finally it! I’m going to conquer Blåstöten and as a bonus, tick off the Storröstgraven ravine from my list. The day was beautiful and warm, but there was some dust in the air which made the sky a bit bland and also the distant mountains where just colourless shapes, nothing I wanted to…

Well what do you know. The flower clock theory is correct – the white waterlilies close up in the evening! Because now that I visited the spot at noon (worked at home, spent the lunch break with the lilies), they were all open and looked stunning, I felt like I melted when I saw them!…

Knutnäsudden is better as a morning location for photography, but it’s a nice place to be, at any time of the day, when the water level is low. And there’s normally always some pictures to be taken!

I thought the white waterlily buds by the jetty would be in bloom now, but I found them all closed. In fact, all around the lake, all white waterlilies were closed. Very strange. So I did some research and found that white waterlilies close themselves at 5pm, not sure about the accuracy but apparently Carl von…

I was good today – I cycled to work, and took a detour back home. I should do that more often… but my cycling tends to be very weather dependent. The morning was finally warm enough for me! On the way to work, there’s this spot where there used to be a small cabin – or…
