Sometimes the journey is just as good as arriving. Like yesterday when I went to the mountain city of Røros. I had to cross the mountains, the weather was excellent, cold and beautiful. I hardly had time to stop, but even driving through this landscape was an adventure. And I couldn’t help it, I had to stop a couple of times.
I had to hurry back after doing my work, and I was just in time for sunset in the mountains. That was even better, or, I like both, sunny daytime when everything sparkle, and sunset, when the colours gets magic on the mountains Sylan and Skardsfjella. There are more photos from this area in my web gallery.

Very nice. We just had 6″ of snow, so the surrounding areas look a lot like the above photos.
. . . but I stayed in.

I love pink snow. This is a very pristine region. Not a place I’d want to have car trouble, but that aside, could anything be more beautiful?

Stunning images, Bente.
I just love your images of the snow and trees. Such simplicity in composition and yet so pleasurable to view.
(I must have been a snow & mountain dweller in a ‘previous life’ as I can’t seem to get enough of both in my inner city current life).

Winter landscapes are great, but most sublime works of art by master Frost are trees covered by hoarfrost. Please give us some smaller details and close-ups of them!
