Norway

I mentioned last Sunday that it was my daughter's birthday during the week, and that she was away on holiday. For this week's Sunday link up, I asked her permission to show a few of the photographs that she sent to me from Norway. Thankfully she agreed, because it's been rather grey here today and I didn't have a suitable photo of my own to use.
 I think that these photographs are far better than anything I could have posted. 

I've never been to Norway, but it looks a fabulous place.
So let's dive straight in... well down the ski jump to be precise!
(It makes me feel giddy just looking at this angle, never mind throwing my body down it!)

Thanks for your visit and I hope to see you again soon.
Have a great day.

  1. It looks like an amazing place to go. I love the pic with the sun shining and that drop looks very steep. Hope she's having a brilliant time!

    1. She had a brilliant time thanks. It's somewhere I've never visited. I tend to like warmer conditions than that, but it does look a fantastic place.

    1. My daughter did have a fabulous holiday thanks Louise.
      It was a stunningly beautiful place, but how someone throws themselves down that slope is beyond me!

      I've never been to Norway myself, but it certainly looks a beautiful place to visit.

  5. A belated happy birthday to your daughter. Some lovely photos here - I've been to Sweden but never to Norway, at least not yet ...

    1. Thanks Tim for the birthday wishes. I haven't been to Sweden or Norway (yet) All my travels took me to far away places, so maybe it's time I started visiting countries nearer to home.

  6. Some fantastic photos. I love the ski jump one. Must have been great to stand at the top.

    1. Well, I think it would be thrilling to stand at the top, but I'd need to have a firm grip on the handrail and no-one standing anywhere near me... just in case!

    1. She had a brilliant time thanks... and thankfully let me share some of her photos. I've not visited there either, well not yet anyway.
      I must admit I like warmer temperatures, but the scenery etc look amazing. I'd definitely have to up my thermal wardrobe!

  8. Hi Neesie, I bet your daughter is having a wonderful Birthday over there. I have never been to Norway, but judging by the photos it's a beautiful place.

    2. It does. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end.

      Thank you for linking up with the #MMBC.

  9. We went to the dunes for a different kind of sledding and I could not get myself to go down--to steep and I'm too much of a wimp apparently!

    1. Each to their own Brooke, you might be able to do something that others can't, so don't be too hard of yourself.
      You've reminded me of our time in Qatar, when we went on a desert safari. We drove up and down huge sand dunes in a four wheeled vehicle and I must admit I felt quite sick by the end of the safari!
      Norway is on the other end of the spectrum.

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the photo's Ryan,
      It's great to travel the globe... checking all the different locations whilst sitting in the comfort of your own home, isn't it?
      I like the look of Norway too.

    1. It does look stunning and my daughter had a fantastic time. She loved it. I'd just be a little concerned with the amount of thermals I'd need. I'm a hot house plant!

    1. Thanks Darren, I really like the look of Norway when I'm cosy... I'm just not sure how I would get on with the freezing temperatures. I'm rather a hot house plant. I'd probably have masses of excess baggage with the amount of thermals I'd need!

  17. Such gorgeous photos Denise - I am sure your daughter had a wonderful time!

    1. She did indeed Sandy. I think it looks amazing, but I rather like being warm. I'm not sure I'd be able to manage. My thermal allowance would be astronomical!

  20. I hope she had a fabulous trip! Norway is such a gorgeous country, and those photographs are amazing, but that first pic made my stomach flip! :D #mysundayphoto

    1. Apologies for the stomach flip... it did the same to me. I'm not sure I'd ever have enough courage to throw myself down such a slope.
      My daughter had a great time. Looking at the photographs it is a beautiful place to visit.

  21. I've not been, I would go for the Northern Lights but not the snow, I hate being cold! Beautiful photos #MySundayPhoto

    1. Unfortunately, my daughter did get to see any Northern Lights, but it is the place to be to see them. I'd love that too. I'm like you, I like to be warm so I'm not sure how I would get on. I'm a real hot house plant!

    1. I was pleased she wanted to share her photo's. I'm not sure I will ever get to visit as I don't like to be cold. It was stunningly beautiful though.

  23. Beautiful pics! Looks very VERY cold. I've watched ski jumping in Iron Mtn, MI (my folks home town) the ski jump was made of wood! And they were crazy to come flying down that and leap into thin air!!

    1. I think it was cold Nan, but I don't think it was unmanageable. Well, I suppose it would be for someone from your part of the world. I certainly would need lots of excess baggage in the form of thermals!
      I don't even like to think of that ski slope never mind see anyone actually doing it!
