This is the first of what will probably be a few sets from my 180km solo trek through the Norwegian highlands during June 2012 (it's taken a while to work through nearly 5 months of images...).
This collection is from a route known as the 'Rondanestien', which I'm assuming basically translates as 'Rondane trail'. As you would expect, the route begins on the moors behind Lillehammer and travels for about 100km north until it reaches Rondane Nasjonalpark - Norway's oldest national park and home of the spectacular Rondane Massif, but that's a story for the next set
It's a pretty bleak landscape, ground down by millennia of glacial action and largely above the tree-line. It's sparsely occupied by the odd sheep and the even odder bushwalker, but for the most part I had it to myself for six days I was up there.
If you're interested in the story there's a write-up on my blog with a bunch more photos Norway, June 2012 pt.I – Rondanestien | people + other strange creatures
Part II has now been written and can be found here: http://peopleandotherstrangecreatures.w ... dbekkbotn/ I'll post some shots from that article directly tomorrow
