Photographer’s Note
The Valdresflya in Norway is one of my most favourite places. Here you find a very spectaculair landscape.
The highest point is 1.389 m. Not that high, you should think, but take in rememberance that the closer you go to the pole, the lower the mountains are and also the tree line is lower than in Middle Europe.
The Valdresflya is a small mountain plateau situated east of the Jotunheimen National Park, a beautiful mountain area. The road 51 which is crossing this area is only open in summertime, because of the weather conditions.
When you are lucky and the sun is shining you can enjoy the ever changing scenery. Blankets of clouds are rapidly passing by because of the very strong winds on the plateau.
On this picture you can see this fantastic clouds formations covering the rough, poor and unspoiled landscape.
I used a polarizer to stress the white clouds against the sky.

Hello,
Another picture that lets us feel like if we were there. I like it!
The POV was well chosen.
And the polarizer was a good decision here.
TFS,
François
