The summer house sits on a small island with the river threading around it. I can imagine when it was new it was a great place to sit and fish or sit and watch the river flow by. But by the time I took this photo it appears it's best days were behind it.
I love the way the sun is lighting up the snow on the distant mountains, their ruggedness being apparent from the lines of light and dark.
Consequently we ended up down at the harbor at midnight, which is when I captured the image above. The low angle of the sun, hanging just above the horizon, provided 'golden hour' light for the warm tones in this shot.
I've no idea what this piece is called, nor who the artist is, nor anything else about the piece. I'd love to know more if anyone out there reading has any knowledge or Norwegian friends.
Eiger is translated as Ogre, Mönch as Monk and Jungfrau as Virgin (or Maiden). The Junfrau is the highest at 4158m, then the Mönch at 4099m and the Eiger at 3970m, though it's the Eiger that has all the climbing lore associated with it in general and it's north face, or Nordwand, in particular.
Here, one of my traveling companions enjoys the fantastic scenery with the Eiger and Mönch forming the backdrop across the valley.
