That would be my guess too.

Yes. Going up the hill on the terrifying shared use path.

Had to pop to Gloucester for a Works meeting last week, hence up the A417 to get there....that's quite a distinctive mini mountain of gravel/stone!

Anyway, keeping to the theme of mountains.....here is a view from the front door of our AirBnB cabin....but where was it:

Complete guess, somewhere near Tromso?

Based on the angle of the sun (which of course reveals latitude somewhat), the particular breed of trees, the colour of the snow and the fact I’m taking a complete random punt - I’m going to guess the coastal region a little north of Bergen.

Its a No to both Tromso and Bergen.

No where near the coast on this one.

Any clues to the exact location in the photo? Beyond a random guess at Norway it could be pretty much anywhere there in winter.

Most of Norway looked like that when I went there!

Then we take random guesses - there can’t be so many regions in Norway and he’s said it’s nowhere near the coast.

I was actually having a laugh when I mentioned the angle of the sun, but now I think about it, the sun never gets very high in the sky in Scandinavia in winter and it’s not exactly on the horizon in the pic.

If the rules permit me to take another guess, I’ll choose the bottom of Norway, in the middle somewhere about midway between Oslo and the coast.

If the rules don’t allow me to make a second guess then I’ll sit on the naughty step a while and think about what I’ve done.

We were there specifically for skiing. Photo taken at around 800m.

No, sadly not. This is North of Oslo.

No, nowhere near the coast. Quite the opposite.
