During my two weeks in Norway, I had the opportunity in visiting the areas of Stavanger, Kristiansand, Lyngdal, Mandal, the Krieg Mountains, and Preikestolen.
Preikestolen is a famous tourist attraction just outside Stavanger which has a steep cliff rising 604 metres (1,982 ft) above the Lysefjorden fjord.
Norway’s vast over deepened, narrow and steep sided fjords cutting through the landscape millions of years ago makes Fjords some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth. What stand out most from Norway is its colours, shapes, coast lines and picturesque coastal landscapes of fjords, hills amid the highways, tunnels, lakes, and traditional houses built from centuries ago.
The Kjeragbolten (boulder) on the Krieg mountain is a 5-cubic-metre (180 cu ft) glacial deposit wedged in the mountain’s crevasse suspended above a 984-metre (3,228 ft) deep abyss.
Another landmark not to miss was Norways’s first lighthouse at Lindesness built from 1656. The waters around the southernmost point of Norway are also known as the “Spit of suffering”: Where two oceans meet and currents and wind rule over life and death. This seaway has been one of the most important trade routes in Northern Europe since the Middle Ages.
Lastly, Rosfjord is a fjord in the Norwegian municipality of Lyngdal where I was able to get some aerial captures with my drone. Thanks to Glen Alden for taking me out on his boat that evening. The harbour of Agnefest has a history going back at least to 1771. Because of the high salinity of the water the fjord rarely freezes, making it a suitable harbour.
