My entry this week is from a famous road on the westcoast of Norway, called "Trollstigen". The road was opened in 1936 by King Haakon 7. It is a very narrow road starting in the valley Isterdalen to the top of the mountain Stigrøra. The place is located in Møre/Romsdalen.
Driving this road is very exciting. The view is spectacular - and the narrow road curving up to the top makes it difficult to pass another car coming down! I know people who never drive this way, they simply do not dare! But me? I thought it was an experience of a lifetime!
If you want to, you can see more of the road itself by clicking here. I recommend enlarging the photos for better view. All pics are taken from the car, last summer.
Go visit SkyWatch and se more of the sky from all over the world!

What a road that is! Must be challenging to drive. The view is gorgeous.
God kveld til damen :)
Duuuuuuu, så vakkert!!! Og jeg kjenner bare lengselen de lux - etter sol, sommer og å legge ut på biltur! DET er livet det :))

Stunning! I would LOVE to visit this area in person. ;-)
These are very beautiful mountains. Great shots!
Stilig. Nå fikk jeg tips til nye fototurer du. Takk :-)
I wonder how 1930s cars made it up those slopes and round the hairpin bends! Wonderful, dramatic pictures, thanks for posting!
Beautiful skies, beautiful scenery, and beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing
Nå där är ett hörn av världen som jag måste få erfara själv nångång. Bara nån annan kör. Jag är helt vimmelkantig av beundran för landskapet och de här undebara fotografierna. Nu har du slagit alla rekord!
Breathtaking--both the view and the road.
That view would be worth every mile of that narrow road!
Everyone should be sure to enlarge the images - awesome!
My Sky Watch is on my photoblog: Carletta’s Captures

Wow, some daring curving roads! Reminding me of my mother's hometown. I love seeing these Norway sceneries. It is so green with beautiful mountains. Best wishes.
Beautiful sky, and what a stunning play of light and shadow in the valley!
Beautiful perspective of the valley. The first image is the best for me
The scenery certainly makes it look like a worthwhile adventure. What a beautiful and majestic shot! WONDERFUL!
wow. so pretty. i love the swooping hills!
Wow. Det riktigt pirrar i magen. Vi har varit in till Norge men inte kört Trollstigen men kanske någon gång att vi törs. Jag har bara hört talas om den.
Fantastiskt fina bilder.
Ha en riktigt skön helg

Amazing road engineering, a fantastic valley, and topped off my perfect summer clouds. Norge er veldig vakkert!
The one with the road is stunning. Absolutely amazing! Nothing wrong with the other one either. Happy SWF!
