Hiking in Norwegian mountains

in #nature7 years ago

I went hiking in the mountains yesterday. Its been raining non stop for almost two weeks, so when the sun suddenly showed up I just had to go for a hike. I also brought my camera with me.

My goal was to get to the top before the sun went behind the other mountains, but I got so caught up in this river, so I just decided to stay there. It was a really great photography location.

When walking up this mountain you actually walk up stairs. They were built by Sherpa people form Peru last year I believe.

Having Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension makes this kind of workout very hard for me, but very good for my health. I hate it while I'm doing it, but love it when I stop. This view is all worth it!

When I was driving home I got stopped by a couple of sheep. This little guy (or girl) stood right in front of my car, so I got out and had a quick photo shoot with him (or her).

Later last night, my boyfriend and I were driving over a bridge and saw this really pretty sunset. So we stopped the car and ran to the water to get a few good shots.

Oh my goodness it is so beautiful there, @kristinbr! Thanks for sharing. Love the little sheep, too.

Thank you so much! Yes, it really is beautiful :)

Great shots and story. Spent some time in Norway, would like to know where this is? Following. PS - just noticed your selection for Top Photo, congratulations.

Thank you! This is Stord, one of many islands in the west coast of Norway.

Thanks for info - I was further north, Harstad and Tromso mostly.

That's really cool.
I've never been there myself, but I've heard its beautiful :)

You should go, also you should continue your writing and photography, very nice work!

Oh, wow! Thank you so much! :)

Beautiful photos. This is so similar to the landscape in Iceland. The sheep are different though ;)

Thank you! Oh, I would love to visit Iceland some day :)
