Western Norway - tourist spots
Today — 20 May — I drove one of Norway’s most visited tourist routes, from Åndalsnes to Trollstigen and on to Geiranger. Valldal was the highlight for me. There are so many stunning views in Norway, and I passed a lot of them today, but the light were not in my favour. I struggled to capture good photographs, so the results are just a few images and some tourist snapshots on my phone — and they will stay there. Valldal may deserve a longer visit in the future, preferably in May when there are fewer tourists. Even though I am a tourist myself, I don’t enjoy places when they are crowded.
The workshop with Terje Skåre in Oppstryn begins tomorrow (or so I imagined at the time), and I’m looking forward to learning and improving my landscape photography over the five days. On the way to Hjelle I made a short stop in Åndalsnes to photograph Romsdalshornet and Trollveggen. The mountains and surrounding scenery are spectacular — the visit has prompted me to plan a longer return.
