Geiranger, Norway

Geiranger, Norway: Fascinating. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Oh my goodness I want to live here! This small village (200 people) is at the end of the Geiranger fjord, one of the most scenic and photographed areas of the country. At its deepest, the fjord is 1,200ft, at its widest it’s 1,600ft, and it runs inland about 10 miles. We left the ship and, after some minimal photography, we began a two and a half mile hike up a steep mountain. Mind you, this is not a mountain by Colorado standards; nevertheless, there are snow-capped mountains standing at the base of an ocean fjord, so I was at peace. We stopped ½ up the hike to relax with some goats at a goat farm, the continued to our final destination: Storsaeterfossen, i.e. Storsaetter, Waterfall. I won’t go into detail, instead leaving this picture to the task:
