I just have to make a post about the weather because we just got sunshine after weeks of rain and cold temperatures. The middle part of Norway have been very unlucky this year with just a few glimpses of the sun in May and June, and rain all July. Almost. The weather changed completely after the weekend, and this luxury is going to last for some days at least. Everybody are happy.
The pictures are from lake Selbusjøen today. The 17th largest lake in the country. All the kids were swimming. I tried the fresh water untill my knees. It was lovely that way. A few more pictures from this lake in this gallery.

That’s good to hear, Bente! You deserve some sun. The lake must be very cold though after such a chilly month. Your photographs are wonderful.

Hooray for sunshine and beautiful blue sky. Is that sand bank area man made to create a safe swimming/boating area, or is it a natural formation?
