Don't say that man, it's on my list !!
Came on people, you don't need to post aerial views. Send some photos. It's always interesting so see other people places.
It could help to take some ideas for vacations.

Great images of Norway is not hard to find as we have a lot of spectacular nature and views to show off. Like Harrison though, finding images of my immediate surroundings is a lot harder. I've gone through my own picture archive (which isn't that big, I've never been good at taking pictures) and found the few that shows off the local area and nature a little:
Some boating pictures, I like the first one taken after sunset where the low hanging clouds are dark while the higher up ones are still lit by the sun. It's from out in the local fjord:
These next two are from a different occasion, on the inland lake a little bit north of here:
My older sister and I used to go on these hikes to the different highest points in the local area. This is where I should have taken a lot more pictures, but oh well. The following three are the best ones I had. First one is actually not in the immediate area but an hour or so away by car. And a two hour hike to the top. It's called Narefjell and is the highest point nearby with a great view. And yes, that ugly person is me.
A further drive and further hike away is Gaustatoppen which is the highest point in the county and the 8th highest in Norway. There's a fantastic view from up there on a good day where you can see for miles and miles. Sadly the top was shrouded in clouds when I was there. It often is, so you need a bit of luck to get the payoff for this hike. I don't have any pictures of this at all though. Thought I took some during the hike up before we hit the clouds, but I can't find them. But follow
this link to the Wikipedia page instead, it has a couple of nice ones.
The next one I don't remember exactly where is but it is from one of our hikes near here. That's my sister's daughter (on the right) and her friend:
And this is Lakollen, looking out on the fjord. This hike literally starts from the doorstep of my sister, that's her in the corner:
Finally, my friend and I have an old tradition where we go to his nearby cabin, start a fire and have a few beers. We do this every year the last weekend before christmas for his birthday. We usually end up being 10-15 people there, but early on it's just me and him. It gets dark
very early this time of the year here, so when others arrive later it is already too dark for pictures.
Here's one of the cabin itself:
Coffee's brewing:
Me and my friend, same occasion but different year:
And that's all I have I'm afraid.

It looks really quite similar to Finland, the only thing that Finland don't have, are the mountains, at least in the southern area, which I find a bit sad, it's quite flat with only lakes.
