and they drop straight into the sea. Some of the peaks are so narrow you have to be careful and watch your footing carefully or you might slide down one side or the other. The fjord leads to Geiranger and we can see the big cruise ships pass by from our livingroom window. I'm not one of those people running up and down those tall peaks. I went for a hike today because we have frost and I felt like enjoying the nice weather. Here's what I could see from our local view point: This is eastwards: To the south: To the west: The town of Ålesund is a little to the right of center in the photo. It has some nice architecture but of course you can't see that. If you keep going west you'll end up on the Faroe Islands, Iceland, or Greenland, depending how well you navigate.
My word, what stunningly beautiful landscapes! In the east and south views, are those picnic tables I see? What a wonderful idea to take a lunch and a thermos, and sit and enjoy that scenery. Thank you for taking us all to Norway for a bit.
Thanks all! I can't take credit for them. You'll have to contact Slartibartfast for that. I'm just glad I live here. I've grown up with those mountains and don't really feel at home without seeing them and the sea. That depends on the time of day, or the day, or whatever happens to come in from the Atlantic or down from Siberia. We've had a bit of frost, a lot of rain, some hail, a bit of thunder, lots of wind, and temps between -1C and 12C in the last week. Today it's 6 deg C, pouring and we have gale force winds. Saturday we'll get frost and sunshine. We live here despite the weather, not because of, lol. Yes it is, and people do just that. It's nice on days without rain and/or wind. It's an hour's stroll on a pretty steep, rocky, marshy path up and it's worth it. Yes! This is why people in this part of Norway don't use bikes a lot you know.
