Norway, Picos and Snowdonia

[jacob]

Just some photos, 3 holidays in 1 (extra photos edited 21-8-15)

Norway, the Tjornastolskaret, behind Valdalsvatnet.

As well.....

Looking up at Skytjedalsvatnet

Being half way up

and having reached the summit, Mount Doom in the background

panoramic view of the summit, Skytjedalsvatnet just right of the cross

Skytjedalsvatnet

looking down in the valley

Views help you overcome tiredness

Looking back on the fjord we came from

Misty Wales as well....

Tryfan in morning light

nosy neighbours

Fair bit of bad weather scrambling

Adam and Eve and mist and no view whatsoever

Glyder Fach, Bristley ridge

And of course skies opening up once you're down again

And Picos this summer:

panoramic view on north-eastern Picos (Sortres)

Up Canal de Amuesa

not any less misty than Wales

Up Canal de Culiembru....

First the really touristic path

then up a very small path direction Orton

Fairly steep ascent

meeting with the locals

and more locals, single filed

Lovely shots Jacob, that's a well spread out holiday Shame about the weather in places but that's the way it goes sometimes

Thank you.
And the weather, I don't mind really. In fact, I prefer the colder countries over the hotter ones, for the simple fact that everything seems to be more mystic / mystical (don't know which one is the correct term). Not only when there is mist, it's just the whole atmosphere a colder climate brings with it. I love it.
(And although, seen your smiley, I like the idea of impressing people, this was not one holiday, just a small selection out of many photo's from 2 holidays and a long weekend.)
