I move around quite a bit, because I live in the countryside and there are some distance wherever I am going. I don’t mind this time of the year, since it is daylight allmost all the time, and there are different landscapes to look at. Here are some og the sights from last week.
Stugdal, Tydal. The mountains of Sylan.
Vududalen, Levanger.
Snåsa
Selbu
Selbustrand
Selbustrand – Mostadmarka

They are all beautiful images – so beautiful that they all but make me cry! The three cows in the late-afternoon sunlight look as if you taught them to pose that way! Thank you for sharing such lovely photos of your part of the world! Z

Beautiful photos. The countryside looks so lovely, fresh and clean. Like your photo compositions too – they have a really nice balance to them. Nice crop of flowers by the roadside..
I do so wish I have visited Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland back in the 1970s when I lived in London. Alas it was too expensive for me back then, and now, I don’t have the health or money to travel at all.
