Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..
Hello Steemians! Have you been enjoying your weekend? I sure have. I've been relaxing and doing absolutely nothing, and everything.
My mom and I went for a hike yesterday. I wanted to show my mom a place she'd never been before. We had to get on the highway, and drive for a little while before we drove of in to the woods. It had been snowing, so it was much like a winter wonderland.
It's a weird, but a good feeling to go from driving on the busy highway to entering these calm woods. That is something I love about hiking. Escaping from our busy lives, and almost entering a new world.
I love hiking alone, I get to really focus on my photography and use as much time as I need. I can use 30 minutes, or more to get just one shot. Especially if it's by the ocean, a river, or a waterfall.
But I also love hiking with other people. Especially with my mom and my dog. We can talk and walk for hours. But doing photography while hiking with others who may be freezing, can be a little difficult. So I had to be quick, and I think I got a few good shots.
After walking for a little while, we came to a frozen waterfall. It was very hard to get a picture of it since there wasn't any place to stand to get a good shot. But I loved the ocean-view I got.
The first time I went hiking in this place was with my boyfriend's granddad, and he told me they used to drive cars over this bridge.. that would be completely crazy today.
Our hiking-trail ended up by the ocean, on a beach with very flat rocks. There are barely any sand beaches on my island. I think we might only have one, maybe two. The rest contains different kinds of rocks. I think it's really cool though.
The weather was so gray that day, but that is very normal here in the west-coast of Norway. I liked that it was snowing and not raining though. The snow lights up the gray weather a lot, and makes dark days a lot better.
That house on the top of that hill is very untypical architecture here on my island. It's actually from Trøndelag, which is in the northern part of Norway. I think it's being used as a cabin today, and I think it's so beautiful.
It was a very beautiful walk, and we had a really nice time. I think I'll drag my mom with me on a hike tomorrow as well.
I hope you liked my post and photography. And as always, all feedback is very much appreciated!
Have a good week!
Kristin.
