Images from February 3rd, the last day before snow arrived after a long, cold period in the middle of Norway. The pictures were taken on the Nidelva river, covered by 20 cm thick transparent ice.

In the last week of January we went to South-Norway to explore the fjord landscape. Passing by the Trollveggen mountains we felt like we arrived to another country. The rounded fjells of Trøndelag and Oppdal turned into a landscape of steep cliff walls and ragged peaks, where mountain sides were regularly intersected by avalanches – something that did not make them very attractive to climb… We did a lot of photography, but most importantly, we found great spots that will be worth visiting when conditions are perfect (this time weather was a little too nice and snow was a little too old for the best results…).
We also made a short visit to the outer coast, where I found a great spot to photograph one of my favourite topics – coastal rocks:-) These tidal pools were filled with red algaes, and some of them reflected the surrounded landscape lit up by the low winter Sun. Although this image does not reveal the dramatic fjords of South-Norway, it will fit very well to my slowly expanding collection of stone images:-)
