"Her hatred glittered irresistibly. I could see it, the jewel, it was sapphire, it was the cold lakes of Norway."

Often a walk in Norway ends with discovering great places you obviously would have missed... 💙

This image depicts a serene coastal landscape. There is a wide body of water under a partial cloudy sky, with a stretch of rocks in the foreground covered with yellowish seaweed. The background includes lush, tree-covered landmasses extending into the distance, suggesting the location is either a lake with islands or a sheltered sea inlet. The lighting and clouds indicate it may be either early morning or late afternoon, contributing to the tranquil and slightly overcast atmosphere of the scene.

On a very autumn-influenced day here in Norway, I stumbled upon this scenery of a classical, red-painted barn in front of the nearby mountains that were already covered by snow, showing that... winter is coming!

This image presents a scenic rural landscape featuring a large red barn on the right side with a weathered facade. A lush green field stretches out in front of the barn, bounded by a simple fence on the left and a dirt path, suggesting a farm setting. On the left side, the image captures some tall grass and a wooden fence curving down the path. Behind the barn, mountain peaks covered partially by clouds and fog contribute to a dramatic background. Tall trees are also visible next to the barn, leading toward a cloudy sky, completing the pastoral scene.

(John Milton)

A place where you definitely see any visitor coming to your house!

This image features a rural landscape dominated by lush greenery and a rugged mountain background. A gravel road curves through the scene, leading past a small, traditional red wooden shed on the left and onward to a cluster of houses. There's a two-story yellow house visible in the distance that adds a quaint, residential feel to the otherwise natural setting. The overall vibe is serene and picturesque, typical of Scandinavian countryside environments.

May you already have a Varde ("pathfinder") in reach when you search for orientation or the proper direction to steer your fate to. This one I have re-assembled is also a remembrance for someone who left this world more than two years ago... 😔 !

The image shows a stack of six rocks arranged in a balanced pile, an example of a cairn, which is often used as a trail marker or a land art piece. The background features wild natural scenery with a tree and hints of a water body, likely a lake, under an overcast sky. The environment suggests a somewhat rugged, natural setting typical of forested outdoor areas. The rocks are of various sizes and shapes, placed with larger stones at the base to support smaller ones on top, demonstrating a careful balance.

While I hate the ugly semi-winter here in Germany I'd exchange everything for a more cold and bitter one in a Scandinavian environment. Seeing how fast the mountains got covered by snow last October was a great experience and although the Winter in the North isn't easy, I'd welcome this challenge with open arms!

The image shows a dramatic landscape with a rugged mountain range covered partially in snow in the background. There's a large body of water in the foreground, possibly a lake or a fjord, bordered by a landmass with dense greenery and scattered trees. A small island or peninsula is prominently shown in the foreground featuring grass and trees. The sky is overcast with heavy clouds, suggesting a moody or chilly atmosphere. The overall setting appears to be in a cold, northern climate, possibly in Scandinavia or a similar region.

After passing Lillehammer (remember the Winter Games 1994?) we encountered this site near Fåvang scaffolded in fog in the early morning. Still not knowing what "Rom" (city of Rome?) has to do with this, we didn't think further about the potential meaning of the painted letters. Great scenery anyway!

Later we discovered that it meant "Room" or "Room for rent" - but in this morning, it was somehow some kind of riddle...

The image shows a picturesque rural landscape during what appears to be early morning, as indicated by the soft light and mist. There's a field in the foreground with visible traces from agricultural activity. The field leads up to a building that looks like a farm or house, with the letters "ROM" visible on its side. Beyond the building, a layer of mist partially obscures a dense forest covering rolling hills. Above, the sky is filled with puffy clouds tinged pink and orange by the sunrise, suggesting a peaceful and serene start to the day.

After searching shelter from a nearing thunderstorm we either discovered the end of the rainbow for the first time or the rainbow bridge to Valhalla guarded by Heimdall himself. Whatsoever, a second rainbow appeared as well, doubling the rare impression of what a thunderstorm can create within seconds!

This image captures a beautiful natural landscape featuring a double rainbow arcing through a cloudy sky. The foreground includes a grassy field with scattered trees and shrubs, while the middle ground reveals a body of water partially enclosed by land. Beyond the water, there are prominent rocky hills or low mountains, which contribute to the scenic beauty of the area. The rainbows appear to touch down on the far side of the water, adding a striking splash of color to the scene. Overall, the composition conveys a serene and picturesque setting, likely after a rain shower given the presence of rainbows and wet surfaces.

There are many famous spots in Trondheim, this one wasn't on my list when I walked on top of the hill, looking down the street towards the centre of the town. Unplanned but welcomed anyway!

This image shows a street view that features a quiet, tree-lined road with traditional houses on either side. The architecture suggests a North European setting, possibly in Scandinavia, and it appears to be an overcast day. The leaves scattered on the roadway indicate it could be in the autumn season. The buildings are multi-story, reflecting typical residential structures seen in many historic towns in this region. The absence of significant traffic and people in this view conveys a peaceful and residential neighborhood atmosphere. There is also a sense of depth with the street leading towards a more urbanized area in the distance, under a slightly grey sky.

At the end of October 2023, we drove 164 kilometers to Trondheim and needed nearly 2:30 hours to reach the city. While we ventured through the area we saw different things but one of the most iconic sceneries I knew from Trondheim was finally photographed today.

Winding its way along the Nidarosdomen park and picturesque areas, with the historic, wooden wharf houses lining its sides towards the mouth at the Trondheimsfjord, and the beautiful, wooden bridge “Gamle Bybro” crossing it, the scenic Nidelva river is a wonderful template for many famous pictures of this scenery you may have stumbled upon!

Having seen this, one part of my traveling bucket list was finished today! ✅

This image shows a row of colorful wooden buildings directly along the edge of a river. These buildings are known as 'stilt houses,' standing on pilings over the water. The architectural style and the arrangement suggest they are likely located in a Northern European country, possibly Norway. The overcast sky and the calm water create a tranquil and slightly moody atmosphere. The buildings are painted in various shades, including red, yellow, and green, which are typical for historical buildings in some Scandinavian waterfronts. This scene might be found in a city like Trondheim, where such waterfront architecture is iconic.

"Do you remember?
How we watched the moon
Counted all the shimmering stars
Inhaled the night

Do you still remember?
Do you even care?
Words spoken in the darkness
And the promise made.

Do you remember at all?
How we two made the winds rise
We would walk in each other's dreams
Run the woods in wolf's skin.

But I remember
Still I remember
You made the vows to return to me
On this shore by the silent sea.

How we lost it all?
Below the argent moon..."

(Insomnium, "The Conjurer")

This image portrays a rugged mountain landscape under a clear sky with the moon visible in the background. The mountains have steep and rocky slopes with a variety of earthy tones from dark browns to golden hues, likely highlighted by the low angle of sunlight. The visible geological features and erosion patterns suggest a harsh and possibly arid environment. The presence of the moon adds a serene, almost otherworldly quality to the scene.

I regret we hadn't more time to really visit Oslo but while driving through the city to spend some spare time due to a postponed ferry, I was (at least) able to make this nightshot before our driver continued his haste.

From what I have seen, Oslo is definitive a city worth visiting again by night (and day!) to spend some exclusive days there. Hopefully, this time will come in the future!

Norway is definitely one of my places to be - this view reminding on mythical English Avalon is located in Rennesøy which now belongs to the Stavanger-municipality.

"There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it."
