Last week, I presented a paper at CSCW in Bergen, Norway. I arrived a few days early to spend a bit of time sightseeing around Bergen. The fall foliage was stunning and better than I expected, the fjords were gorgeous, and the civil engineering accomplishment of building a highway system with countless bridges and tunnels was impressive to witness. I did a few short hikes but mostly just faffed around close to the road. Let me know what you think!

Stallbotnen from rock slabs on the trail up Austlendingen
Dusk on the way back down Austledingen (I didn’t go all the way to the summit)
Waterfalls and an old building on Osteroy Island seen while looking across the Veafjorden
Clouds and an autumn scene in the Myrkdalselvi Valley
Fog on the Finnbufjellet Plateau
Misty creek on the Finnbufjellet Plateau at dusk
Dawn along the Erdalselvi Valley, which carries the old Bergen-Oslo Highway that has since been replaced by the Laerdal Tunnel, the longest road tunnel in the world.
Morning sunlight on the mountains above Flotvatnet
Red cabins in the fog along Hornsvatnet
Icy cascades on Koldsa Creek
Aurlandsvangen and Aurlandsfjorden from the old highway
Vassbygdebatnet sits below the massive waterfall on Grimsetelvi, which the highway climbs in 5 spiral tunnels
