Well, back from vacation out west at my parents house and a week at beitostølen. The first week was kinda bad with rain and really bad weather, but the final week I spent with some friends in a cabin doing some walking in the mountain area of Jotunheimen. Since I recently got a new Canon 450D and took a lot of pictures I’m posting some here.
The Jotunheimen area is really beautiful ( especially when you have weather like I had last week ) and is absolutely recommended if you happen to pass by.
First up: me and Ståle went flyfishing a couple of days, didn’t catch anything, but the scenery was nice:

Besseggen
We also walked Besseggen, a very famous hike with some 40k people every year taking it. It is also made famous in the Peer Gynt play by Henrik Ibsen. A beautiful walk in the sun, a bit of climbing where you have to make sure not to drop 400 meters down to the water below, but absolutely worth it!
Starting out at Gjendesheim
We walked a alternate route around the Gjendevatnet
