Nice weather for almost end of summer camping

We went camping ... I think this was our first camping since coming to Norway, having been talking about it since we arrive and buying gear over the same period. We are almost with a tent each, 2xsleepings bags each, After supplementing a few more gear items : a gas stove and camping utensils we headed out to Fosseknuten dam for an easy night of sleeping in the mountains under the tent.

Being right next to the dam solved the issue with carrying water as well as cleaning up. The spot however is full of rocks without any trees all around. The wind from the surface of the water can be chilly at night without having any way of making a fire.

The spot we had chosen was also a favorite with casual visitors on their weekend drives along the only main road in the area connecting Sirdal to Setesdal. We didn't linger to long the next day. We packed up after breakfast and drove down to our cabin in Fidjeland.

This spot is epic for night photography ... if there's no clouds that is!

This spot in Fidgeland is also epic for Milkyway ... closer to our cabin!
