Hiking at Lysefjord, June 2014.
Back to the roots: Nine days backpacking through this impressive landscape. Hiking, camping, washing in lakes and creeks and making photographs.
Only 20 km air line from Stavanger, the rough terrain with its 400 to 1100 meters high mountain knolls begins and falls in steep granite walls and waterfall studded forests down to the fjord.
