Norwegian Nature and Hiking // Photography

17:30:00

Hey guys!

Today I'm here with another photo post, but slightly different this time. If you follow me on twitter, you'll know that I spent a weekend in August camping with my class.

For those of you who don't know, I live in Norway. The town I live in is quite small and bland, and so I usually put up a protest when people tell me how lucky I am to live in this beautiful country. This trip however, has changed my view on that.

We went white-water rafting one of the days, which I really wish I had photos of for you guys because it was so much fun (and also absolutely terrifying), but I obviously couldn't bring my phone in the water.

We also went on a 10 hour hike up a mountain called Besseggen, which was exhausting but totally worth it. It was more of a climb, and every time we reached what we thought was the top, it turned out that we were far from it.

Disclaimer - All of these photos are mine (as always), but as I obviously couldn't bring my big camera with me, they're all taken with my phone, hence the quality.

This was what our view was like for a good 4 hours of the hike - absolutely breathtaking. 


Reindeer are so normal in Norway, they're considered a pest. Usually they sneak into our gardens and eat our flowers, but seeing them in such a peaceful setting was actually quite nice.
It's insane how different the two colours of the water is. If you look at the top photo, you can see the dark blue, which is the colour water usually is. And then, up here, there's this bright turquoise lake. It's incredible.
Here we are at the actual top. 8.5 hours later, and I convinced my friends that in order to claim that we actually reached the top, we would have to clamber to the top of this cluster of rocks.

Yet another photo of the beautiful view, but this time featuring the back of my head! Yay!

Here are some more of the reindeer, they were so majestic! 

The view on the way down, as the sun was about to set. Exhausted and hungry with our blisters burning, it was a really beautiful hike.

And here is the beautiful, incredibly clear water, which is the river below in this coming photo:

Here is the little rope walkway we had to pass to get to our camping grounds. Try doing this late at night, carrying all your stuff!

Those are all the photos I'm sharing with you today, and I hope you enjoyed it! I freaking loved this trip and although these are phone photos, they accurately show what it looked like. 

Let me know what you thought, and tell me in the comments: what's the best place you've been?

    Wow these photos are amazing - I'd love to visit Norway someday. It reminds me a little of the beautiful scenery of Austria when I visited there. Great post!

      Thank you! I know, Norway is mindblowing, but the UK definitely has some idyllic places too! Personally my favourite is all the old buildings you have there :)
