We were attending a wedding in Rondane some weeks ago. On the last day before we went back to Trondheim, we spent some hours walking towards Rondvassbu in Rondane. Here are some photos from that short trip.

Sylan

I and a friend of mine spent a weekend skiing from Storlien in Sweden to Tydalen in Norway. This weekend it was so cold (around -30 deg Celsius in the night) that the shutter in my camera was not working properly. Therefore, the only usable photos taken from that trip are presented below. The lights that we experienced Saturday evening were magnificent!

Some years ago, I and two friends had a road trip up to Finnmark. On the way up we spent some days in Lofoten, an extra ordinary place in Norway. These photos were taken a rainy day at Mulstøa.
