Dorgefossen and Lysebotnen

This is Dorgefossen, a big waterfall in my home county. It's used to be very big and beautiful, but because of regulation of the waters, as a consequense of the power stations here, it's no longer full of water. But a lot of tourist stop by and take a look. And it's also cool because they have climbing trips down there. I have never done it, but Gabriel and Ragnhild did. They really liked it, but for Ragnhild it was an painful experience.














This is were we went yesterday, Lysebotnen. It's in the very end of the same fjord, where the pulpit rock is. Lysefjorden. But this time we went on a Sunday trip with my mom and dad. They really wanted to show Becky how beatiful this place is :-)




Anne Berit also came with us. It was very nice. We drove on small curvy roads. To pass someone you need to drive out on the shoulder(or it's not really what you think a shoulder is....It's just the side of the road, so you have to find a spot where you don't get stuck.) I don't really want to drive there. The road is going down a mountain that is very steep, and you drive back and fort. The road kind of look like a snake







Then on the way back up, we stopped at a place that is sticking out above the fjord. It's really cool, you get a feel that you're almost falling down, and you get a really good view. To tease my mom, I climed a little bit on the fence, and she walked away in protests...








On the highest point of the road there is a lot of piles of rocks. When people pass by, they stop and build thoose piles and you can see thousands of them. It's really cool looking
