First of the Month - Norwegian Skies

All year long I've been scanning Kentucky skies, camera in hand, in order to participate in a monthly photography meme that attracts aspiring photographers from all over. The idea is that we look at our surroundings and record the changes from month to month. The host for this meme is Jan at Murrieta 365 . Here's how it works: "The goal is to capture one thing repeatedly on the first day of each month. It can be a landscape, a person, an animal, a project; whatever your focus is fine. It can be a record of where you are each first day of the month." I decided to photograph Kentucky skies.

However, on September 1 I was in Norway so here you have an Norwegian sky instead. This photo was taken from our tour motor coach on the way to Lavik and just captures much of the magic of the fjordlands--the brilliant blue sky reflected in the clear fjord, a cascading waterfall down a distant mountain. I was also able to get a shot of a typical Norwegian grass-roofed hytte (cabin or cottage) in the foreground. The hyttes are used for camping or other outdoor activities in the mountains or along the coasts by nature-loving Norwegians.
