Part III of the explanation...
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 5:26 pmFinally we come to the Fjord. Lysefjord to be exact a mere 20 miles from Stavanger on the west coast of Norway.
The entrance...
30 miles of fjord layed out ahead.
A 600 metre high cliff.
The end is in sight. 15 miles away.
1000 feet of water below you, 3000 feet of cliffs above you. Has to be seen to be believed. I went off in the dinghy for this shot. While on the boat the fjord looks only a few hundred yards across. It's actually a full mile and you completely lose your sense of proportion.
The end. I have about 500 other pictures of varying quality, plus some from the Norwegien Vikingskip museet, the Fram museum and the norwegien maritime museum, not to mention of the Vasa in stockholm. I shall post more on demand.
