Norwegian weather

These two photos of Nusfjord in Lofoten were taken just fifteen minutes apart. So, if you come to Norway in May, you need to be ready for summer and winter at the same time!

The Norwegians have a saying, "Det er ingen dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær". Roughly translated this means, "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing".

Preikestolen #4

The photographer's assistant, although willing and able to climb sheer cliff faces with his bare hands whilst carrying expensive camera equipment, has yet to read the chapter on picture composition. Or was he just thinking outside the box?

N.B. in this shot you can see the crack running across Preikestolen. It is being carefully monitored by geologists who tell us that we are quite safe now, but that Preikestolen will break off and fall 600m into Lysefjord "soon". Of course, to a geologist that means sometime in the next million years or so.

Preikestolen #2

Preikestolen (or "Pulpit Rock") with the 40km long Lysefjord stretching away in the background. This famous Stavanger landmark was first posted on this blog on 25th February (http://gyurgyak.blogspot.com/2010/02/preikestolen.html). This time the shot has been taken from above, which required better conditions underfoot and a lot of personal effort!
