I liked how you could see the
difference here between the "clean" fields and the way they are
naturally.

Scenery |
Trying to capture the feeling of
height that these mountains give you, but it just doesn't come through in
pictures. |

A pretty little bird, I don't ever
see birds like this in the States. |
 |
| These boulders are HUGE. If
you look at the top of the hill on the right that tiny white spot is a
cow. That helps to give this picture some scale. |
This was a town called Dirdahl. If you got a souvenir
from me, it probably came from here. I found a wonderful
little antique shop and spent over an hour looking at
everything. Very nice place!

There was scenery like
this everywhere, after awhile you just get tired of taking pictures
because you never run out of these amazing views.

| I was trying to get this giant
waterfall but you mostly just see the cows! |
A close up of the same waterfall. |
I liked the rock line and the small
trees at the top of this ridge. |
 |
 |
|
These two shots are
looking first down, and then up a river from a little footbridge.
There was also a small waterfall near there but I didn't hike close enough
for a picture. This was pretty enough for me!

This is at a little
tourist shop in Byrkjedal, where I stopped to get lunch. If I had
come through sooner I could have visited the candle shop but it was
closed.

| Rockfall like this is called ur in
Norwegian. Small word for such a big rock fall. The actual name of
the area is Gloppedalsura. (So you see why I call it ur.) I was told
this is the largest rock fall area in Europe. I believe it, it was
really amazing. It went on much further but I couldn't get it all in
the shot. I wish a car would have come through into my picture so
you could see how giant these rocks were.
Unfortunately, it was somewhere in here where I realized I was almost
out of gas. Thank goodness they put those "dummy lights"
in cars these days! I was 20 miles from the nearest gas station,
wouldn't you know it. So, I didn't get to take as much time or as
many pictures as I wanted, I was too busy sweating, squeezing the steering
wheel, and praying that that
last gallon (sorry, liter) of gas would last a little longer!
