Fall Break – Views Around the Hytte

Last fall, we rented a hytte in the Luster area of Vestland in Norway.

Only a field separated us from the Lustrafjord, the innermost arm of Sognefjorden. We also had a lovely view of Feigefossen cascading down on the opposite side of the fjord.

The newly-built hytte seems to have been situated on land formerly of Nes Gård so we had sheep and fields as our neighbours, as well as Nes kyrkje, built back in 1836.

Here are images of views around the hytte, shot over our weeklong stay in Luster, Norway last autumn.

Always love a set of fancy hinges
Final resting places…with a lovely view

I think this sauna belonged to Nes Gård, which also seemed to have a few hytter to rent out
Apparently the Dalai Lama also thought good shower power can lead to happiness

Due to climate change, the fall colors were coming late — we finally started to see the leaves turning at higher elevations toward the end of our trip
Bench and insect hotel
Random red chair
Random sheep
I was glad I woke just before 5am to lovely Northern Lights. They danced earlier that evening but there were too many clouds.
This was looking east. I imagine the show was even better above the clouds and behind the mountain to the north.

I am a photography enthusiast living in Oslo, Norway. My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy photographing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street images as well. Welcome!

  3. I am unsure whether to feel joy or jealousy reading your post. But I am so glad that you travel around so much of Norway because I get to see and revel in your glorious photographs which let me reminisce. Loved the caption bench and insect hotel! And what about that random red chair? As always this fjord looks idyllic and to catch the northern lights too. That was fortunate.
