... how pretty a West Norway scenery can be in early spring. Nothing spectacular in terms of photography, but this evokes memories much needed after the prolonged periods of isolation and self-quarantines.

This is uplifting and striking on a number of levels
- Colour contrasts plus lots of fine details in the tree branches
- Great saturated colours and quite deep blacks, then a muted backdrop
- A viewpoint and perspective that had me wondering what angle you were looking up/down at
Plus it's another plus point for landscapes taken with a lens other than a wideangle

I'm glad that I'm not the only one using ancient cameras... The results prove YOU ARE RIGHT!
Me too, another +1
Ciao from Massimo

Here is the relevant Google Map. So you all can go out and explore the views ...

I probably was shooting from near the river in the valley floor. My GPS data from that trip are not very exact.

Breathtaking, Birna!

Norway in sunshine 8) Magnificent

this is a wonderful picture

I know Norway is a pretty place anyway, but that's a very nice reminder.

Stunning!

Amazing shot. At first glance , it appears to be looking both down and up simultaneously!

Actually the lens is pointing slightly upwards.
There is a well-known vantage (and dare I say, touristic) point further up the mountain, but at an altitude of approx. 600 m.a.s.l. it's difficult to avoid getting the fjord into the frame. Thus I opted for shooting from a point nearer to sea level instead.

Thanks to Google Streetview, I found the *exact* location for my capture. You can easily see the two ridges sloping down almost 45 degrees, and the snow-capped mountain on the other side of the fjord that formed the background.

My capture would not carry any impact lest it was taken in the early hours of the day as the morning sun just barely grazed these slopes.

I first saw this shot perhaps 8 or 9 years ago and it convinced me that I didn’t have enough esthetic imagination to be a nature photographer.

Outstanding picture. One of not so many, in a year.
