A really hard hike.

I hiked 8k / 5miles with my friend Vibeche today, in good old Hordnesskogen (Hordnes forest). These were some of my hardest 8k I've ever done. I felt like my shoes were laced with lead, my feet were dragging balls in chains.. it was just such an effort to put one leg in front of the other. But I did it! And the sweet taste of victory is delicious as always. ;)

Fog!
This is what the weather was like during our hike. White and foggy, and few spaces of no fog, before the white swallowed us again. It was quite nice actually, we found amazing things such as:

Frozen dew drops!
It was quite chilly, so the dew drops froze! I regret not having my proper camera with me, because it might not happen again this season. So many beautiful things to see, and only my crap mobile to catch it. Ahhh well.

Me!
Vibeche took this picture of me, you can see how white it is in the background. Nevertheless, a good hike. Gotta keep burning those calories! ;)

  3. Great pictures, Maren! I've been taking a lot of pictures myself and learning how to appreciate them at the same time. :) Congratulations on your great hike! I wouldn't have gone out there in really chilly weather, so you're a better person than me!
