The pristine and snowy mountains in Norway. You can look at them for a long time and marvel at it. How they have arisen over time and what forces were required to do so. Nature is an unimaginably powerful and elusive thing.
In the photo you can see mountains that are located on the Geirangerfjord in the province of Møre og Romsdal. The valley in the photo that passes between these mountains runs from the Geirangerfjord to the Eidsdalfjord. A beautiful road (number 63) leads you through this valley in about 20 km. When you drive there, you feel small, with all those high mountains and the natural beauty around you. It is inconceivable that those mountains have been slowly eroded by glaciers over many, many years.
Route 63 is one of the most important national tourist routes in Norway. It covers a total of 106 km, so the valley between Geiranger and Eidsdal is only part of it. But it is a beautiful part.
I took the photo about 10 km in a beeline south, from the viewpoint at Dalsnibba, at 1500 meters altitude. There you have a wonderful view of the Geirangerfjord and the surrounding mountains. The mountain peaks in the photo are also at an altitude of 1500 meters. The photo was taken at the beginning of June, when there was still quite a bit of snow on the mountains.
I enjoy taking pictures of nature, from colorful flowers to the vast landscapes of Scotland and Norway. Photos of European cities can also be found in my shop. Whatever photos they are, I create them with the idea that they really add atmosphere to your home or workplace... Read more…
