Øyna – Sognefjord, Norway

An early morning bus ride with very sleepy eyes… and all of a sudden, flying islands outside! … but the reflections on the window pane add for some touch of reality ;)

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.

… more pictures to come ;)
