Fall Break – Dalsdalen
Last autumn, we stayed for a week along the Lusterfjorden in Vestland, Norway.
On our GPS map, we noted a river valley heading up into the mountains from the fjord town of Luster. We decided to explore the valley so we drove up Dalsdalen (the road), along the Dalsdalselvi (the river), to explore Dalsdalen (which actually translates to “the valley-valley”) itself.
We eventually stopped to take the dog for a walkabout and check out a bit of the valley on foot. What we found on our excursion were a number of tumbledown structures in a quiet, steep-sided valley with a few mountain farms.
Here are some images taken of some of the sights seen in the Norwegian valley of Dalsdalen last fall.
Looking down into Dalsdalen from a dirt road leading up to a mountain farm we took on our walkabout The valley was quite steep and there were little rivulets of water making their way down into the valley Looking through some trees towards a larger farm building Had to love the moss growing on the slate roof of this structure This structure has seen better days… …note the neighbouring structures as well Another little storage “shack” that is bald and leaning This structure has a corrugated metal roof and a bit more integrity Whoops, this slate roof has caved in Looks like a part of this structure has been completely torn down Lots of moss On our drive back down towards the fjord, we drove by a farm with a fjord view More “waterfalls” heading down the steep walls of the valley and some of the trees at the higher elevations were starting to turn A look from up over the valley from another of the farms towards the fjord where we came from #Architecture #Dalsdalen #Fall #Luster #Norway #OldBuildings #Photoblog #Photography #Travel #Valley
