I first came across the Pulpit Rock hike when I was researching for a trip I took around Norway back in August 2015. I immediately knew I wanted to do this walk and experience the amazing view over the Lysefjord for myself but there was no way we could figure out how to fit it into our two week itinerary as it would involve a specific trip to Stavanger, which was a little too far from Bergen to justify taking the time for. Instead I vowed to come back and tackle it someday in the not too distant ... Read More

While I was somewhat looking forward to the cold season this year having spent parts of the last two winters definitely snow-free in South Africa and Australia respectively this year might have gone a bit far.

Why you should plan a travel photography trip to the Norweigan Fjords
For those of you who have been following the blog a little while you'll know that I went to Norway back in 2015 and part of that trip included travelling from Bergen up through the fjords to Tromso.
