Ice on the fjord


Winther in Norway can be quite a cold experience, but it is also beautiful. Have added 2 nice photos here in the post, the pics shows the Aurlandfjord with ice on the surface.

That is not common, only happends when it is real cold.
Some places in Norway the temperature can sometimes get down to 30 - 40 minus degrees Celcius at winther, but that is uncommon and only a few places in the north and inland. Here in West-Norway we do not have that extreme temperatures, but can reach minus 20 degrees Celcius.
As we can see on the photos it is a very clear weather with beautiful colours. The air is very clear and dry.
Nice:-)

Late fall/early winther and the Seatrout is spawning.

In November and December I did several trips to visit my father in law in Aurland with my family. I maked new oak-floors on the bedroms in my father in law`s house, this work was something that we had planed for a while and november/december is a fine time to this kind of work.
But of course, when we first where there, I used some time to explore the nature and walk along the Aurland River.
This time of year the great Seatrout is ready to spawn and reproduce. I could observe dozens of pairs when walking up the river.
All the fishes on the photos is bigger then 10 lbs. Amazing to watch this scene, some of the trouts seriusly damaged and others with fantastic colours.





As you can see, I have taken a lot of photos of the beautiful nature, and also of the Seatrouts. The pics of the trouts is not good, have written earlier in this blog that it is bot easy to take pictures of moving fishes in a hard stream with a ordinary digital camera. That`s why the pics are like they are.
Anyway, enjoy them:-)













The late fall brings beautiful colours to the nature. I love the orange and yellow colours, and as you all can see on the photos the tops of the mountains are covered by snow.
Hope that you will enjoy the photos..
Cheers
