The painting Winter’s Night in Rondane by Harald Sohlberg has given the name to Sohlbergplassen. That is a piece of modern architecture from were you get a view to Rondane National Park. This is exactly were the famous (in Norway) painting was made. These blue mountains lie by the Rondane National Tourist Route, one of many roads in scenic nature adapted for travelers lately. Rondane was established 50 years ago as the first national park in Norway, as I wrote about in an earlier post.
When I and a fellow photographer arrived at Sohlbergplassen just before dark we met these nature photographers from Sweden. They are all veterans in nature photo and it was a nice meeting. Jan Grahn (to the left) is 82 and still going strong. He was one of the founders of the organization Naturfotograferna.
The road to Sohlbergplassen goes through this beautiful landscape, in autumn colours when we were there. There are more photos from Rondane in my photo gallery.
Awesome scenery, and so neat to see some seasoned veterans enjoying themselves!
Agree with you in both, Sally.
Beautifull landscapes.
Absolutely, Kristoffer.
Very beautiful images Bente. Always nice to meet fellow photographers too!

Beautiful landscapes.
One of the things I love about photography is that it doesn’t matter what age you are – you can take photos well in to old age.
I like the figure in the foreground of the 4th image – gives it a personal touch.
So do I (like the figure in the foreground of the 4th image) and for the same reason. ;}
Some landscapes full of beauty. Regards
One of my favourite paintings so great to see the place itself!
