Gaularfjell, Viksdalen – Sogn og Fjordane, Norway
We went on an one hour bus trip from Balestrand in the morning and witnessed another wonderful and breathtaking landscape. This picture was taken while hiking next to Likholefossen, one of 14 waterfalls along a trail called Fossestien, the Waterfall Path.
The woods, the lakes, the flowers, the rocks and boulders and this power of running water together with an old bus driver pulling over on the way back to teach us about the nature of norwegian landscape sum up to a very memorable day. Großartig! 
Nigardsbreen, Jostedalen – Sogn og Fjordane, Norway
We spent 3 gorgeous weeks in beautifully scenic Norway. When it comes to the photos we took, it’s very hard to decide which one to start with for the blog… but the glaciers and their impact on the landscape definitely blew me away
May I introduce to you: this is Nigardsbreen, on of the arms of Jostedalsbreen, which is the largest glacier of mainland Europe. The fellow on this picture has grown from snow that fell during the last 1000 years and now moves downhill at a speed of 1 meter a day at some of its parts… wohoo! We went on a guided walk onto this glacier arm which was worth every minute – not least because of the beautiful weather on that day.

Most people I met there said, the volcanic landscape depresses them. I think this heavy load of nature’s power is just beautiful.

El Pico del Teide – Tenerife
While it’s raining outside, I thought I’d pop in with some good weather shot from Tenerife. This is the peak of the volcano Teide, surrounded by its cooled down lava. Colors vary from light brown to dard red and black – and green, since some plants manage to survive even in this very dry area. I was completely overwhelmed when I saw all this nature’s beauty. Stunning and gorgeous, wherever you look
~
I will make rivers flow on barren heights,
and springs within the valleys.
I will turn the desert into pools of water,
and the parched ground into springs.
I will put in the desert
the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers in the wasteland,
the fir and the cypress together.
[ The Bible, Isaiah 41, 18-19 ]
