In September I went for a autumn vacation to Rondane, Norway. I signed up for Natur & Foto´s workshop at Dørålsæter, Rondane. Finally tonight I had some time to look trough my photos from this trip. I´ve decided to work my way trough this amazing trip step by step, and that is why I´ve chosen to post this in different parts. These first photos are taken as we were approaching Rondane.

I think the maintenance could be better, but I also see the challenges associated with this. A park like this require a lot of great planning. This post is mostly to show you the elements I like in this park.
