A Melancholy Day

Think about a place where you can connect with nature through silence, through beauty and introspection. Think about a place and time where the very end of Autumn meets  the very beginning of a long winter. Think of a time, tinted in black, white and gray, where there is just you and that companion feeling you tried to hide underneath your skin instead of indulging in it…

Einunndalen, Norway

I guess it’s about time that we make a post about our Header Image for our blog. Here are the photo itself along with more from the same area called Einunndalen in Norway. Probably not the most visited place by foreign tourist, but quite known by Norwegians who like mountainous landscape above the tree line. Now, you don’t have to be high above the sea level to be over the tree line in Norway though, just about 500 meters depending on the area and less in the north.

Briksdal glacier (Briksdalsbreen), Norway

Briksdalsbreen is maybe the best known arm of the bigger Jostedalsbreen in Norway, the biggest glacier on continental Europe. Its not only the glacier that are spectacular, the path from the parking presents us with some breathtaking impressions as well.
