Pictures from Norway

This is ~D~ studying a blueberry he just picked. That's one of the coolest things about living in Sweden (and Norway too, I guess) that wild blueberries grow everywhere. They are so delicious. This photo was taken while we were hiking near a waterfall above our campsite.





This is Briksdal Glacier. We hiked nearly an hour and a half to reach the foot of it. The boys and I are standing on the bridge, with the glacier behind us and the meltwater raging in front of us. I know in the picture it looks like water coming down the mountain, but it really is ICE!






Green lake water near the Briksdal glacier. We were told that the closer the water is to a glacier, the greener it is.

We were up on a cold, ferociously windy mountain overlook where we had an awesome view of the Geiranger fjord when we first saw these little piles of stone everywhere. We saw them in other mountain areas too. After viewing the fjord and hearing our teeth rattle from the cold, we decided we couldn't leave without making our own little pile of rocks. We tried to make it in the shape of a cross but it was too darn cold and windy to spend very much time out there.
