Wonderful photos! It looks amazing. It’s a place I’ve love to go sometime.

More “desolate” terrain that Peter wouldn’t want to look at because it’s colder and darker than Greece… :-)
Great photos. I have only been to Alesund but it was really nice.
Mine are on this page.

A personal minimum with no cloud below 2,000ft above the mountain tops would be limiting, but life-prolonging, I guess.
Absolutely. Looks a little bit like the approach to Albertville.
Allow me to chip in with a few more (from further south)
Mjøsa.
Hamar and the upside-down Viking ship ice-skating hall built for the Lillehammer Olympics
Rondane in the background. There was a military exercise preventing me from flying closer.
Tynset airfield. I think it is familiar to LeSving.
Reaching the coast (fjord) by Orkanger
Out the fjord towards open sea
Final at Kristiansund Kvernberget (ENKB)
A street downtown (happens to be my hotel)
Now the proof there are N-regs in Norway. This airplane was at ENKJ during my visits in 2015 and again in 2017
At the end of the Oslo fjord, Oslo. After Roskilde, the venue of our next Spring fly-in.
More desolation. Hjørundfjorden
Ålesund
Road infrastructure
Bergen
A little taste from the fish market in Bergen
A little peek at Southern Norway
A whaling ship (now museum)
Approach to Sandefjord Torp (ENTO)
Great pictures! Honestly – I can understand LeSving
I love the desolation! LOL, great pics and report!
