Default Little impression of my vacation (norway)

Was in norway the last 2 1/2 weeks. The drive home was a real pain. We drove from Dombas (center norway) to home in 25hours. With 2 hours sleep and 3 hours Ferry. So i am a bit down now
Here some pics:
The gear

The car at 1050meters. And a lot of snow on the road

The car after a night snow

I made 251 photo's but i won't show them all. You get bored soon
This is what -15 does with a full can of Red bull i had 4 of them like this.

And this is what you get at -15 and 2min exp time


Some nature pics i shot:



Storm at 1050mtrs

I didnt go hiking really. Well 2 times but didnt take any nice pics there. To cold etc. All these pics are taken from roads i was driving on. All taken around the E6 from Dombĺs to Otta and from Dombĺs up north on the E6 to Oppdal.

id love to live there or somewhere like NY - they get a cool summer and a top winter too

somewhere with a very good snowfall would be cool- as long as the roads and services etc could still function, it took me 2 1/2 hours yesterday to get home lol so if this country had proper snowfall they would be calling it an emergency every day lol

some excellent pictures there

If this country had proper snowfall then we would be forced to use proper snow tyres and would find driving much easier!

Well this is my 2nd winter in norway. I don't know what you expect from the road works but they arnt anything. They don't use salt or something. But the norwegains that drive in the inlands of norway can tell you best i think.And yes they use this. I was on std winter tyres and it was ok but on the icey roads like the E6 at the Dovrefjell Nat.park. You really need this

Great pictures mate! I'd love to visit sometime - I hear its expensive anyway and the Euro just made it worse

Can see myself living in a place like that when I'm older! Either Norwar/Sweden etc or Canada maybe
