Romdalshornet
|
|
One of the highlights at the waterfront is the peak of Romdalshornet.
|
Before entering to Åndalsnes from the inland, you will arrive to a valley with at least dozen
of cascading waterfalls. One of them is pretty close to the highway and I took a photo of the lower portion of it.
The weeds in the picture is infact trees.. |
|
The impressive peak is commonly by the even more impressive Trollveggen, with more than 1800 meters high
vertical mountainside is hard realize, unless you zoom in with camera.

Åndalsnes
|
|
At the water front the weather was lousy, low clouds of heavy rain....
|
|
But as the sun broke through it gave pretty interesting shades of light...
|
Further towards the coastal town of Molde the weather got even worse but I had
a chanche to take couple shots about 15 kilometers from Åndalsnes... |
|
But before the light broke through, I had allready shot this one...
|
|
..including this farm scene.
|
|
Back at the fjord, the gray shades proved to make yet interesting photos.
|
|
Rainy clouds hugging the mountains...
|
|
...could not stop fishermen at the pier in the town.

A view from a container storage yard at the port. This image is the only unmodified image in this series. The
time is about 16.00 and images are taken at the end of August, but the rain was a bit to
much for the camera.
|
|
This image is modified to the actual conditions...
|
|
One of the coolest things of photographing is that the fact that a step or two can change the image.
The picture her is unmodifies except that I removed clare caused y raindrops. The ray of light was
just pure dumb luck as there was suddently a small beam of sunlight.
|
|
the same shot after a treatment through Photoshop 6.0. this image was done by duplication of the actual image and
colorshading and matched back to single image.

Near Verma
|
|
Romsdalen and the river of Rauma offers a lot of nice scenes that is easy to pass.
One of them is a small hamlet of Verma, famous for the Kyllingbron, a railroad bridge
and the double looping railroad. I have covered those sites and allways after returning home I wondered how the opposite side has to offer.
This not the very best shot, but I like the contrast between the dark edges and the more lighted middle section.
|
|
The only road I found at Verma crossing the river was this located deep down in the valley.
|
The rural Norway, just a bit from the more tourist frequented highways offers
views that is more like a time machine to the times when the life was a struggle,
no convience shops, no highways or railroads to the world outside.
|
|
Waterfalls down from the high mountains is a trade mark besides the Trollstigen and Trollveggen at the western poertion of the Romsdalen. If you look closely, you will see a small power plant or plant of some sort, and the arced
railroad bridge, and a very light highway bridge.
|
|
Though it is not as appearent as in the sunlight, the limestone colors the water to green.

As a departing image, an evergreen...
