This photo was taken from the creek level at Myrdal looking up at the houses and rail station. The people sitting next to the stream were enjoying the wonderful weather and the sounds of the babbling stream. Myrdal is a station on the Oslo - Bergen rail line and the end of the Flam railway. Myrdal is at an elevation of 2838 ft.

great shot!
wonderful colours and light here.
cheers !! Carme.

Hello Asa,
I like the point of view and the diversity of details!
A fine composition and the couple by the stream adds life...
Rich colours and good details, a beautiful summer day (not so many of them this year)..!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Asa!

Simplicity, composition, color management: these are the main qualities of your picture from the technical point of view. On the emotional side, it's not world shaking, but gives a nice view on what a holiday in Norway can be. Mine was a bit more rainy...

Kind regards
Markus

Hi Asa,
Lovely summer scene from Norwegian mountains. Brightly coloured look so good on the mountainside and that little stream seems to have perfectly clear water.

Bonjour, Asa,
Très jolie prise de vue aux couleurs éclatantes. Qu'il doit être agréable de pouvoir admirer la nature et cette rivière qui s'écoule, à petit bruit, et, partout sur son passage, plaine, bosquet, pâturage,
tout s'engraisse, tout fleurit...
Félicitations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Asa,
Lovely rural scene showing a diversity of colors under the superb light of a fine summer day, thanks to the good contrasts the picture gets very vivid and lively, I like it.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hello Asa,

Great shot from an interesting POV! The details are fine and the colours well saturated! Although the pathway leads the eye upwards, the eye certainly needs to rove around as there is so much of interest to see!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Asa.
A beautiful norvegian composition with a very crisp and fresh atmosphere. The light is perfectly managed and the colors nicely saturated. The picture is very sharp (even a lttle bit too much, TMO).
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Asa. A very appealing composition with beatiful colours and good foreground interest in the form of the two people and the stream. The composition has good balance with that corner of blue sky. A lovely scene.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Asa,
Typical Norway with those colourful houses on the slopes on every small town. The path to it creates a good focal point, but best part is of course those two people by the river, what a lovely secenery. It's really gives perfect scaling to the surrounding and brings life to the image...wonderful..!!!
Have a nice weekend, Henk

wow
fantastic place
I love Norway...
grazie per la stupenda foto!!

Great picture of Myrdal. At the time of my visit I didn't see it from this side.
Small and beautiful place. Good idea to include people in your picture.

Hi Asa,
Lovely capture of this tiny village nestled high on the beautiful hillside. Very clear strong clear colors with excellent sharpness to this fine image. The people sitting on the rock enjoying the peaceful landscape in another fine element to this photo.
Regards, Tom

Hi Asa,
What an idyllic and peaceful atmosphere, composition is very attractive. I like the vivid houses and the magnificent environment. Details are beautiful, first of all the fascinating scene in the foreground. Great shot, Very well done! Have a nice week
George

Hi Asa,
lovely landscape and impressive, full of colour and details. The composition could be considered even too "full of things". As a personal attitude, I would have chosen a vertical compo corresponding to the left half of yours, so creating only two major points of interest: the two persons in the foreground, and the yellow house of the slope. Obviously it is only a personal opinion. Congratulations, Dario.

Hi Asa,
Good composition and great light to give lovely colours, a good shot about this nice place and interesting railway to see norwegian mountains.

Bonjour Asa
superbe panorama, le paysage est à faire rêver les couleurs sont belles, bravo.
Salutations

the houses beneath thye station very much looks like the ones the you could by as props to the toytrain. It's really nice mountain stream making the image so mountain summer picnic as it could be.

Asa, this is a beautiful scene you have captured here, color is great but th country side is very inviting. Great capture.

Hi Asa, what a lovely view of a place which hasn't shown its sunny side to me when I was there in August, but instead, there was some heavy rain and thick fog... I like the arrangement of several differently coloured houses in the frame.

Cheers
Alexander

Hi!
Wonderful picture from Myrdal, very good composition.
Warm saturated colors.
You were lucky with the weather, Norway is a rainy place..

Hi Asa,

small colorful wooden house in a green and beautiful landscape, no doubt about the country! Very well shot. :)

Cheers,

Loïc

You have captured this lovely place well! I took that train a few years ago, but made other fine stops; however, I think you found the better place to be.

The stream and road lead our eyes down the frame and the color of the building, the greenery keep us involved - and the people too.
