Our autumn trip 2012 should be a trip to Oslo and maybe north to Trondheim. Depend on the best weather conditions. We thirsted for sunshine and a little warmth. After a few days in Oslo, it seemed as if Western Norway would get the best weather, so we decided to see fjords and mountains in the northwest.  We drive over the highlands of Norway and got our first overnight in Union Hotel at Geiranger.

After a delicious breakfast at Hotel Union in Geiranger, we continued the trip over the mountain to experience Trollstigen and Åndalsnes, with the goal of reaching Ålesund, this day. When we get up from Geiranger to Ørnesvingen, there are quite a few people photographing "The Seven Sisters", the waterfalls that flow down the mountain side and down the Geirangerfjord. But what I see when I stop the car is this sight. And it's only me who saw it. And, since I know this can change quickly, I'm struggling to get the tripod and camera. I see people watching me and what I'm doing, but nobody else takes pictures of this shot. Then I think for myself that there may be something in my mind that is screwed a little differently, than in others.
