This is a photography site with a blog. Or vice versa- it's a symbiotic thing. As a photographer (mainly of landscapes) and traveller I've accumulated images and ideas, but never published them. Slide nights are a thing of the past, digital has almost eclipsed film, and individual emails are probably going the way of snail mail.

In an era of often-vacuous social media, spin, alienation and environmental damage think of this site, then, as my piece of vanity publishing. The content will stray from landscape photography to other things, and back. The last thing the world needs is another travel writer, and the last thing the internet needs is another photo gallery, but read on....

Melgardsӕtra

May 17, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

Melgardsӕtra is south of Espedalen, at the edge of a plateau.  A sӕter is a summer pasture, the buildings often just at the tree line to provide firewood and some shelter from bad weather.  Some are still in use today, but others are apparently abandoned.  This sӕter is not unusual, but it appealed to me because of its location, its mixture of natural and artificial, and its colours and textures.  It was also a great spot for lunch.  Melgardsӕtra typifies the cultural landscape in the fjells of Norway.  I hope you like the photographs.
