2| Ålesund
Northern part of Apotekergata street and Aksel Holms Plass (a small square). This is just out of the commercial part of the streets, so its less people here.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 2nd, 2010, 05:58 PM

2| Ålesund
From the eastern side of the channel, Notenesgata street and Kongensgata (King's Street). Kongensgata is a pedestrian street.

2| Ålesund
This is the Ålesund Church completed in 1909. The old church burned down with with the rest of the city
in 1904 in the biggest city fire in modern Norwegian history. You can read more about this disaster

2| Ålesund
Old wooden houses.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 02:08 PM

3| Caves
Next up is some expeditions through several naturally made caves in Nord Trøndelag county, just north of Trondheim. These caves are very small,
made by small rivers. They can be pretty long (2 to 4 hour long expeditions), but you will have to pass by extremely narrow tunnels, and climb up
and down dangerous waterfalls or cliffs.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 02:12 PM

3| Caves
Wet and dark caves. The second picture is taken from the roof and down.
This cave is 4-5m tall, but very narrow. The river have cut a nice 'canyon' through the mountain.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 02:14 PM

3| Caves
A vertical shaft in the cave, a 10m climb down to the floor. More rock formations following the cave.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 02:17 PM

3| Caves
Through narrow parts of the cave which have fallen together almost closing the cave. After that comes some beautiful white walls.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 02:22 PM

3| Caves
Then the river suddenly disappear through a hole leading further into the underworld. This is a over 20m tall vertical waterfall with more waterfalls
following it and a large lake at the bottom.

4| Dyrhaugsryggen
A evening hike up to about 1 800m of Dyrhaugsryggen looking at Hurrungane in the Jotunheimen mountains. The two first pictures show Smørstabbtindan (peaks around 2 200m).

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 07:12 PM

4| Dyrhaugsryggen
Skarstøltindane, tallest peak is 2 405m tall and a attractive climbing spot.

UMD · May 3rd, 2010, 07:13 PM

Wow, great quality photographing! Keep them coming. If you don't mind - can you tell me what kind of lens and camera are you using? To me, it looks like they are all taken with wide lenses.

***Þróndeimr*** · May 3rd, 2010, 07:16 PM

4| Dyrhaugsryggen
Storebjørn, 2 222m and Geite, 2002m.
