Oslo, again and again...and again

Four times we visited Oslo, in three different seasons. Every time it was a bit different, new places, more urban than natural, then the other way around, Cold, rain, snow and just enough sun to make it interesting. This is merely a sum-up of our short visits to the capital of Norway.

Across the polar circle, along Norway

Imagine
Back when we were in the planning stage, we thought that hiking the Lofoten mountains would be the peak of our polar experience. We're so glad that we were wrong, it was merely the beginning of a unique trip. We've tagged team with Ola and Mariusz and left stormy Reine, heading north. We've passed along deep fjords, mountains of attractive and untouched wilderness, went into tunnels of incredible length, through landscapes where only the road disturbed the peace.   Vågan Church (oldest church in Lofoten, 1898) The harbor in Svolvær, northern Lofoten   Typical landscape in central Lofoten We left Lofoten islands the same day, during the night and camped somewhere along the road, close to Saltstraumen, while it was raining. This experience itself was special. The only sign of human presence was the road, equipped with some sort of devices that made sounds every time cars were approaching in order to prevent wild animals, especially moose, from crossing the

Our story and portrait of Matterhorn

Imagine
How fond are you of mountains? If the answer is very much then this story might be of interest to you and, who knows, you might enjoy the photos as well. We will take you at the foot of one of the most picturesque and spectacular mountainscapes in Europe, the home of many four-thousanders and their king, the Matterhorn. We arrived in Zermatt on a Sunday. It was already dark outside and cloudy so we couldn't grasp the surroundings and make an idea of the geography of the area. We had however the feeling that we are close to something of great proportions, lurking in the dark, mighty and tremendous. We scouted the air for any chances to see through the low-lying clouds...nothing. The mountain was waiting... The village of Zermatt seemed very welcoming and friendly. It was February so naturally there were a lot of people, mostly skiers going back and forth, tiny and funny looking electrical cars that served as taxis in the area. One thing which is great about this place is th

Caminul lui Neptun

Imagine
Orasul Alghero se afla in proximitatea unuia din cele mai interesante din punct de vedere geologic si spectaculoase din punct de vedere peisagistic, obiective din Sardinia. La doar 21 km NV de oras, sade casa lui Neptun sau generic, Grota lui Neptun. Grota calcaroasa este situata exact sub Capo Caccia si gazduieste formatiuni stalactitice si stalagmitice dintre cele mai impresionante. Pe langa turismul clasic, grota este o locatie excelenta pentru amatorii de scufundari si de ce nu, exteriorul stancos poate fi o destinatie pentru cei suficient de nebuni sa plonjeze in mare de la inaltimi de 150-200 m. Interiorul grotei sta marturie a milioane de ani (cca. 75 de milioane) in care apa marina a precipitat continuu pentru a da nastere coloanelor, stilolitelor si draperiilor ce pot atinge inaltimi de peste 10 m.
