Rondane - part 1

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. My mom and I drove from Kristiansand to Dørålsæter, and including some breaks we used about 10 hours. I find this landscape really fascinating and majestic. It is something completely different from where I live in the south of Norway.




At summertime and until the beginning of September, you can drive in to Dørålsæter which is about 15 kilometers from the main road. We arrived here about 19.00 and the sun was about to set.


Dørålsæter is powered by a generator, and when we woke up about 05.00 the next morning there were no power. We had to find our equipment using flashlights and the toilets were also completely dark. We had to get out early to capture the great light in the morning, and also to get a parking spot nearby one of the water. This is a very popular spot for nature photographers. 

This morning I chose to start with my 70-300mm to capture certain sections of the landscape.

Søndagstur til Grovannet

Bilde
I dag var jeg og ei venninne på tur til Grovannet og rundt i området. Vi gikk med utgangspunkt i Grostøl. Keila er nybadet i en liten bekk. Hun var så nysgjerrig på isen på vannet at hun plutselig var langt nedi bekken og snuste før hun duppa nedi.  Nyter høstfargene og været utover et lite tjern Fin vei å gå på fra Grostøl og innover mot Grovannet.  Kakao og lefser med sukker og kanel smakte godt på turen.  Hva? Jeg har vel ikke vært en tur nedi gjørma og griset til labbene???  Speiling fra en annen vinkel. Fantasien står fritt.  Sjeldent jeg legger ut bilder av meg selv. Her begynner Keila å bli sliten etter ca 4,5-5 km Så da fikk hun haik et stykke oppi sekken, og trivdes godt der et par km.  Nå er jeg snart oppladet og klar for litt mer løping.  Deler av stien var barnevandrerstien som går fra Kvinesdal til Grimstad.

Amazing roadtrip on the Brokke - Suleskard road

Bilde
On the 31st of May we had an amazing drive from Flekkefjord to Kristiansand via the road from Suleskard to Brokke. This is a winter closed road, and it opens the last weekend of May. We drove here just a few days after the opening, and the amount of snow in the mountains were stunning! I can recommend this route through this amazing landscape in south of Norway. Driving from spring to winter in a couple of hours  Photo taken from the ascent of the road looking towards south-west My husband standing next to huge amounts of snow I can barely reach half of this edge We tried to drive up to the Roskrepp dam, but the road was so narrow here that we had to drive back in reverse.  The highest of the snow edge was probably this one which is about 9-10 meters tall.  Descent towards Brokke Just a couple of days later the road had to close again for a couple of days due to more snow, and they couldn´t keep it open.  B
