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!

A week in Bergen

With our impending house move this summer, we decided to spend a week in Bergen instead of the usual prolonged summer holiday.

We took the 5 hour ferry from Risavika to Bergen, spent a week in an AirBNB in the city and explored what Bergen has to offer by boat, ferry, bus and foot.

Into the woods at the back of the house

My favorite patch of woods just behind our Hundvag house.

Lunde's sunrise

Then I bought a humongous drone

Then I bought this humongous hexacopter ... took a while to get it airborne dt some loose connectiona in a hard to see corner.

There were a couple of mid size drones too in between ... and fly aways, mountain collisions and water burials. Not a dull moment I can assure you. 

Romo for Easter

Birdwatching Easter in Romo

I picked up a little toy drone the other day

I got distracted by small little electronic thingies with buzzing propellers! Missed both Spring and Autumn migration this year!!!

I was completely enamoured by their minute size and what to me was amazingly compact and miniaturised technology packed within. I was completely sold!
