Everythingape Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Inspired by nanuq's winter warning.. My summer was short this year, as I was at sea most of it. I snapped a few pics at a family gathering in August, and looking at them now, I have decided we had a great summer this year. These photos are from one of the most weather ridden parts of Norway. (Stadthavet for the Norsks among us) It's is rarely this calm. I'll try to get out there and snap a few pics in a storm. The white house is where my father grew up, and the view off the cliffs is where the neighbours docked their boats, beats me how they did it in anything else than a dead calm. It's a 1,5 hour hike in summer, with no roads, just a sheeps path with a 5-25 meter drop into the sea on one side. This was their school road half of the year. My father told great stories about how they braved it in all sorts of weather, he once carried his little sister in 3 feet of snow. The little boathouse in the cove has been rebuilt 5 times the last 100 years, as it tends to disappear in storms. Crooked horizons on them, but wth.. Feel very free to post some pics of and tell a little story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Great pics! Reminds me of parts of North East Scotland (unsurprisingly). And sweet wee thing in the avatar too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Aye, Cornerstone.. Same waves pounding it. And I am waiting for my little girl to get old enough to drag her around everywhere, with my luck she'll probably be a citygirl like her mom..
