Since my last post was from a grey, foggy day on my trip to the coast, here are a few from going back home last weekend. There was a very nice evening sun. Not warm, absolutely not warm yet, but it made the landscape look nice, so I had to stop a few times.
The sunshine actually started very quietly, breaking through the clouds. This is very typical for Norway: we can have more than one season during the day.
This is Gjemnessund Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in Norway (although it does not have the longest span). It is 1,257-metre (4,124 ft) long. There are a lot of bridges in this part of the country.
Want to know more about the county, here is a link. There are more photos in my photo gallery.
