    Vireklig vakkert, og nesten så jeg kjenner den friske lufta i lungene og kjenner roen som senker seg i sjela.

    Hils frua!!

    For en norges reklame du gjør!!! Kjempebra Ivar!
    Det ser veldig fredfullt ut med vannet der. La ikke merke til veien ved første blikk.
    Nydelig natur:)

    I thought there would have been an earlier ascent. It looks like just the mountain that makes the man to find his inner monkey.

    Hello. I watched such the beautiful photograph for the first time in life. When nature was a terrible, beautiful thing, I remembered it deeply. And I was astonished in your can take a photograph such beautifully. Norwegian nature is grand and is splendid. Thank you for beautiful natural scenery.

    Vi kjørte forbi i sommer (igjen) UTROLIG vakkert. Jeg ytret ønske om foto-stopp, men akk. Men du har fått foreviget det stille vannet ved norges nasjonalfjell. Super-vakkert-fint-bilde!
