Norway Mountains Norwegian Nature

"Den som gjør en reise har noe å fortelle" ("the one who travels has something to share"). This is an old Norwegian proverb (Dette er et gammelt Norsk ordtak).

And if you have traveled to Norway "The Country of the North", you surely would have a lot to tell about and tons of beautiful pictures to show.

If you are someone who loves traveling and have friends and family all over this beautiful world of ours, I'm sure you like to stay in touch with them.

All you have to do is go to the Skype Store USA

First, you install SKYPE , and then you can talk all you want for FREE anywhere in the world, even to Norway, India and Australia.

I even talk with mom on Skype and she does not even own a computer - and it's only 2.1 cents per minutes.

My "computer wires are often "red hot" cause I loooooooove talking with with all my friends everywhere for free.

I have spent many summers at Tokleskaret going to sleep at night by the non-stop lullaby of the dancing waterfalls. The laughing brooks and the loudly humming river is "nature's orchestrated melodies of the mountain king".

In "the olden days" Farmers (bonder) employed ladies (budeier/seterjenter) to care for the cows, which were kept in the mountains during the summer. Budeia lived in the farmer's mountain cabins (setra). In some places of the country, this form of farmingtradition still goes on.

The grass in the mountains is especially nutritious so the cows gave rich delicious milk.

Budeia milked the cows and made cheese
and butter from the milk, which waskept chilled in ice-cold mountain streams.

The dairy products were carried down to the farm. Painting by Gerhard Munthe,
Hallingdal, 1890

Young and not so young,
you'll meet them on the ski slopes; on trails of woody hills and valleys; by rivers and lakes enjoying the beauty of Norway mountains

Try relaxing this way sometime - you'll like it!

Nothing like having your 50th birthday
on a mountain top.
