One of the pilegrimsleden waymarks in the middle of a construction site. It was nice of them to leave it standing:
A particularly idyllic Norwegian farm:
Mossy track:

The interior (and exterior) of an old stable that I slept in at Budsjord:
The moors of Dovrefjell:
Allmannrøysa, a big cairn in Dovrefjell:
The tiny village of Ryphusan, where I spent a night in Dovrefjell:
My first view of the Nidaros Cathedral as I descended into Trondheim:
The cathedral from across the river:
