Olden
Olden was the second stop on our trip through the Norwegian fjords.
Arriving at Olden we were met by wonderfully eerie mists lying low over the town.
We took a small boat along Lake Olden, arriving at a small restaurant to enjoy waffles and cream! We then were taken by coach to see the Kjenndalen Glacier, a magnificent sight. Next to the glacier was a waterfall, and dotted around the landscape were more waterfalls and streams no doubt fed by the glacier.
We returned via a stunning lake which reminded me of Emerald Lake in the Yukon in Alaska. In the afternoon, we took a brief tour around another lake.
As we left, a stunning double rainbow formed, the second one we saw in as many days.
I used a mixture of Nikkors 18-200mm, 35mm F/2, and 50mm F/1.8, as well as the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8. For some shots I bracketed three exposures as the contrast was a little harsh for the camera. These were later blended in Photomatix.

The mighty glacier and its waterfall.
I used a slow shutter speed in this shot to blur the
movement of the water.
The spectacular double rainbow. The polarising filter
on my lens helped to bring out the colours.
