After two nights in Oslo, Greg and I headed to the train
station to catch the train for Myrdal, Norway.
On our way, we rode past handsome, little Norwegian villages and through
stark, stunning landscapes and ended up in Myrdal where we caught the Flåm
Railway at 865 meters above sea level.
The Flåm Railway took us on a 20-kilometer ride through the spectacular
wild countryside and hairpin turns. After
about an hour, we arrived in Flåm. The
trip is advertised as the “one of the most beautiful railway lines in the world” and I will not argue that point.
The photos I took generally don’t do the scenery
justice. I’d like to blame it on the
fact that I was on a moving train and taking pictures through window glare, but
the fact is, it is so beautiful here that no photo could do it justice.
The first three photos are shots taken before Myrdal and the last three are taken on the Flåm Railway.
