Sykkylven, Norway

24.12.2005

Staying with Rani's family in Sykkylven over christmas and New Year period. (Actually christmas goes for 13 days. It's epic.) Speaking of epic, check out the scenery.

Looking out the back door of Rani's Parents' place

Looking a different way (mountains)

Looking a different way (still mountains)

Downtown Sykkylven

The Mountain/Fjord combo that's so popular right now..

The longest stretch of straight road in Norway

Sadly, this is probably close to true.

The Fjellseter snowfields in Sykkylven

It was 5 degrees colder than 5 minutes down the road (-13)

A tree with frost

A house with snow and ice

Just threw this one in to break up the prominent blue/grey colour scheme.

More houses on the hill

Storfjorden (The Big Fjord)

This was pretty ridiculous scenery and would have been much better had I not been green and almost vomiting from car sickness.

At this time of day, in this part of the country, totally localised within your kitchen??
