30 Stories - Twentytwo - PANORAMAS

Hi fellow steemians,

This post is about panoramic shots and the reason why I started making them. When you are on the road as much as I am, you start thinking about ways to improve, WELL, about anything... One of those things is how you can capture the true essence of a landscape or even better, an experience. It is not easy to grasp the intensity of nature, but sometimes a wider view says can come quite close.

SEGLA

This is the view you get after a couple of hours of hiking to the top of Segla on the island of Senja in Norway. A friend of mine says the reason why this landscape is so pointy is that way back when these mountains used to be vulcanos. I have no idea if this is true or not. He is geologist so I choose to believe him. In any case, I am really happy to have found this paradise and will return there this winter to snowboard those same mountains!

KVALOYA

Not too far from Tromso you can find the island of Kvaloya, it is only about an hour driving, but it has the most beautiful sunsets in Norway!

REINE

This picture looks a lot like the first one, but is taken about 500km away from the first picture. It is one of the most famous hikes on the Lofoten and is such an incredible place. I decided to include a screenshot of google maps, so you can see how big the area is where I have been roadtripping and hiking this summer. We have only discovered a small part of it, I am so happy for that, because that means there is still a lot to discover!

WHICH ONE OF THESE PICTURES DO YOU FEEL GIVES THE BEST IMPRESSION OF THE LANDSCAPE?

Cheers!

PS: For those who don't know me, I live in a converted schoolbus with my girlfriend, my dog and my two and a half year old daughter Fenna. This summer we spend four months in Norway with our hostel on wheels (which you can join) and these pictures tell the tales of our most relevant experiences. I changed my 30 day challenge's title into 30 stories, because of the feedback of @geekgirl, she made me realise that my life is quite different from the regular daily 9-5 routine and that I can share some more insights into how we spend our days. As a side-note I must say that I am still quite proud that I am persisting to write daily for 30 days straight.
