Besseggen mountain ridge between Gjende Lake and Bessvatnet, Jotunheimen
Lake Gjende and Bessvatnet from Besseggen ridge, Jotunheimen National Park, Norway
One of the unique aspects of the view is that Gjende lies almost 400 metre lower than Bessvatnet, and while Bessvatnet has a dark blue color typical of other lakes, Gjende has a distinct emerald green color. The green color is the result from glacier runoff containing clay (rock flour).

A late afternoon view of the town of Lillehammer, looking across Lake Mjøsa. Lillehammer became known after the 1994 Winter Olympics. You can see the ski jumps above the town. Lake Mjøsa is the biggest in Norway (150 sq miles).
A great viewpoint along the E-16 in the Valdres area. I have posted a view of this before, but this Summer I decided to try a panorama shot. A horizontal stitch of 3 photos.

Lom Stave Church Fossbergom Oppland county, Norway
These medieval wooden churches dotted around Norway certainly stand as a testament to the brilliant workmanship of their builders back in the late 12th century. Although, certainly not as grand or imposing as most cathedrals and basilica found in other parts of Europe. I find myself personally drawn to the stave church unique architecture and detailed craftsmanship.
Having been driving in miserable rainy conditions most of the day, a clear patch of skies came into view as we approach Lom. Originally intended as an unscheduled toilet break, I happened to park in front of this lovely church. The sides of the wooden structure were illuminated by the late afternoon sun which caught my eye. Just as I was strolling around with my camera looking for an interesting composition, a giant rainbow appeared in the valley behind the church. It provided the added element that I was hoping for to compliment the beautiful scene. Perhaps it was an act of god or just plain luck, I am glad to be at the right place at the right time to capture this image!

View on amazing mountains of Jotunheimen.
A less visited waterfall in Jotunheimen
This is just the beginning of Hellerfossen waterfall, than it drops down 200m into the vallay. In the distance glow the ice-capped summits of Norways highest mountains of the Jotunheimen range.
In Winter Norway the blue hour comes very early. This was taken at 4 in the afternoon, from across the frozen lake. In the background the ski jumps of the 1994 Olympics can be seen.
A late afternoon driving over the mountains from Dokka to Lillehammer and the sky suddenly presented me with some beautiful Sunset colours. I would have preferred a fresh coating of snow on the trees ....well maybe next time.
A warm July sunset brought out all the different shades of green in the landscape.

Otta, Norway
The Stave Church in the Open air Museum, Maihaugen, in Lillehammer, is originally from Garmo. It is one of the 28 remaining original stave churches in the country. The name stave church has to do with the construction. The heavy corner pillars are called "staves" and together with connecting horizontal beams they form the strong basis of the church. From there on, walls can be added, the tower and the outer passageway. Stave churches were built in the early parts of the 2nd millenium, after christianity was introduced to Norway. Perhaps there were over a thousand, but during the middle ages many succumbed to fire, or were simply torn down to make place for bigger churches.
Looking Westward over Vangsmjøsa Lake
My work takes me to Norway, and on a sunny day like this, with such amazing reflections you just have to stop and shoot. Here I am looking westward over Lake Vågå.
