Sky Watch Friday - Norwegian Skies

AUSTRIAN SPIES UNDER NORWEGIAN SKIES!
(all pictures may be viewed larger)


Four young Austrians, among them our son Felix, just returned from a two weeks' hiking tour through Norway.
Oslo, Bergen, Jotunheimen and Rondane National Parks, and then Trondheim.




Enough time to watch the Norwegian skies!


Felix the Austrian spy :D



Finally they reached TRONDHEIM, where they were allowed to put up their tent in the garden of this house.
And they were told the story of its owner:



The owner's daugther would leave for Oslo to study. So he was afraid of living a lonely life in his beautiful house at the sea on the outskirts of TRONDHEIM - without her.

This is the perfect blog - Photos saved us a bit of cold days, but now, when the warm-freshening are right - I want to you all the best!

Oh my! Those pictures take my breath away and take me back to some wonderful hiking days in the Canadian Rockies! The silhouette picture is downright spectacular!

Wo-wow-wow! Love these photos (as the good norwegian I am). I've been to Gjendesheim and I live in Trondheim, so this was really fun watching! Did your son love it here? Have a nice weekend, maria! Hugs from me**

Excellent!! What a trip your son (the spy) had. Gorgeous photos.
I am back home after tromping around hot and dusty Eastern Washington. MB

If they walked all the way between all the cities mentioned - they must be bit tired by now. On the other hand - they have seen (and taken pictures) of some of the best in our country.

Thank you.

Hallo Maria,
sensationelle Norwegenbilder für SWF. Ich habe es nur zwei mal in die berge in Norwegen geschafft, einfach himmlisch.
