Folgefonn Sommerski Tollroad Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi there!
As pronounced: the view from the tollroad towards the Folgefonn Summerski Centre near Jondal (Norway). The road begins 10 km uphill from Jondal and ends at the Summerski centre. (It costs 50 NOK, but is really worth the money!!) It's quite a climb with the car, but it's such a lovely road to ride on. Only few people know about this road, so you won't find many traffic on this one, which was great (because it was quite small ;-) )

I took this picture on the top of the road, at the same road as the Summerski Centre. But I had to walk near and over slippery rocks to get this view. And that's why I couldn't caught more piece of road. (Rocks were quite slippery because of the rain and cold conditions).

Enjoy!
Florian

Hello Florian, whenever I rise to a mountain although it is small, the effort transforms in happiness for the satisfaction of having come up to the top and this photo reminds that to me. And although it is an image that for the day rainy and clouded he lacks light and contrast it has the delight and interest of the good memories.

A greeting and thank you.

Hello Florian!
This place is not so far from the place I grew up, and you seem to have met the typical weather of this very rainy district.
It is not a coincidence that a big glacier is situated south of this spot.
I like the way you have included the road, winding diagonally through the picture. The weather and the rocky ground give a picture with many grey tones, very well captured. Sharpness is fine.
Well done!
Regards, Jon
