Flam

Next stop through the Fjords was the small town of Flam, which is famous for having one of the highest railways in the world, and the stunning Naeroyfjord, itself a Unesco World Heritage site. We took a lovely leisurely boat trip through the fjord, before being driven to the Stalheim Hotel which overlooks the beautiful Naeroy Valley. The road descending from the hotel is the steepest in the world, with 13 hairpin turns, and is flanked by two lovely waterfalls.After returning to Flam, we hiked up the mountain behind the town to reach the mighty Berkefossen Waterfall. The hike was such a hard slog, and I lost weight sweating fluid, but the sight of the waterfall was definitely worth the effort, as was the view of Flam from the top.The scenery was just amazing, and I have only presented a snapshot here.

Berkefossen Waterfall. I used a 10 stop ND grad filter on my Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 to slow the water down.

A stream that originates from the waterfall. Again, I used the ND grad filter to get a mist in the flowing water.

RedHouse

One of many beautiful houses dotted around the place. The red paint apparently has a special property which protects the wood from weathering. Hence many of the houses and buildings are painted red.
