Roadtrip August 2023 : Haukeli

 

First leg of the roadtrip: Stavanger-Sinnes-Valle-Hovden-Haukeli

A stop between Roldal and Odda ... seems a popular stop for "emergencies". Beautiful view down the gorge, plenty of mushrooms, a gigantic waste bin and a picnic table.

A beuatiful stop with expansive view towards Roldal on the old Dyrskar scenic route above the E134 tunnel. Open space with lots of potential for night time photography but very windswept.

This site is right above the E134 tunnel, 1/4th way from tunnel start and tunnel end between tall mountains, very windswept with clear streams from te mountain nearby.

Beautiful camping stop a favorite of many judging from the bobil parked in the area, free camping for now with exquisite view of Kista and Valdeseggi as well as other mountains nearby. It's also sitting next to a lake ... but with a cabin right across it.

A great go to for a site with toilet facilities which is maintained once daily at 1100hrs ... so it's very clean and well kept. Since it's a proper rest stop there's plenty of traffic back and forth, it's right next to the E134. However nothing is stopping you from keeping a base here and setting up camp slightly further away. Only uperlatives for the view with a lake and mountains all around.

Reference shot from Ben Barakat.

An attempt made during one of those clear winter night, actually this morning. Looks like another failed attempt since the loop's pattern looks a bit dodgy, resembling some artifact created from internal reflection or something. Shot is made over Sola Airport (not exactly light pollution free). This a stack of 13 single shots of 1 sec exposure untracked. The street lamp in the driveway is on the left. I'm thinking that is the source..

Will try again as opportunities present themselves aka clear nights. Maybe even drive out to a darker location.
