This week’s favourite photo is from a wonderful voyage up the stunning coast of Norway. The photo was taken in Hjørundfjord, a lesser known fjord in the beautiful Sunnmøre Alps. It’s not a favourite because it is a great photo (all that blue sky can be a bit boring!) but because it reminds me of that magical journey.
I had previously read that Hjørundfjord is extremely scenic and was disappointed when we entered the fjord in thick fog. But the fog began to clear, gradually revealing the peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps with a clear vivid blue sky above. Soon there was just a dense layer of mist that appeared to hover over the fjord, creating the magical effect above.
Later the mist cleared completely, revealing the full splendour of the Sunnmøre Alps. The trip through Hjørundfjord was so beautiful that it was difficult to pick a favourite photo, so here is a small gallery of photos from that trip. The final photo in the gallery below was taken from a viewpoint in the idyllic village of Sæbø.

I agree with the other comment-stunning views and great pictures! Thank you for sharing. I'm going to Norway in May and now I want to go even more.
