Description
Norway, Sognefjell
Now we are on the Sognefjell, our favorite fjell in this area and it started to be frosty and it was snowing also.
* * * The Sognefjellet is a mountain pass in central Norway, joining the Sognefjorden in the East with the Ottadalen in the West.
* * * At 1434 metres above sea level the Sognefjellet is the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe, and it is only accesable in the summer.
* * * British newspaper the Guardian named the Sognefjellet one of the top 10 cycle rides in the world.
* * * It has a length of 110 km (70 mi) and was inaugurated in 1938.
Thanks a lot for all welcome comments ;o))))

How beautiful this is. I remember many years back we stood with one leg in Sweeden and one leg in Norway :) Loved that place.

Very colorful & atmospheric landscape. I like the second shot of the memorials too - interesting rock structures...

What strikes me most in this photo is the intensity of Arctic light up north ! It is very powerful and may be treacherous for photographers ! You've done a fabulous capture here ! Thanks for sharing!

Stunning top shot reminds me of a caldera, interesting patchwork colors and textures in the bottom pic, and what photosynthesis said.

And I see there is a floating bridge across the Fjord where it is too deep to construct a more conventional bridge. We have them here in Washington State, near Seattle for the same reason. Fascinating post.
