Beverly, this is the life of Norwegian sheep during summertime, graffiti free but then they risk to be eaten during their mountain stay…

In Norway nearly all sheep roam unattended in mountains and forests during summer, that is from June and until October. Since we also have a fair amount of the large predators like bear, wolf, wolverine and lynx there are considerable sheep losses every year.

In the background we can see the mountains in Trollheimen National Park (Trollheimen = home of the Trolls). The eastern part of the park we can see here is characterized by the slowly rolling landscapes while the western part has more dramatic scenery including Trollveggen near Åndalsnes that is the highest vertical mountain wall in Europe with its 5950 feet from the valley to top of the wall.

The old house we se is part of a former summer farm, where they used to bring the cattle to the mountains for the summer, but that tradition is now long gone…

Hello Pablo,
Nice conuntryside view.
Nice pov with the log wood cabin and sheeps.
Good natural colors. TFS

Hello Pablo,

I see your sheep have been washed before being turned out on the mountain pastures! If they had been numbered, you would know how many had been eaten by predators! And, it would be a good 'I-Spy' game for Norwegian children!

Lovely composition and light. The sheep are contented and totally oblivius of our teasing!
The summer farm is perfectly placed and makes a good natural border. Pleasing natural colours.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Those preditors are not something I have been thinking about, but of course there are.
Hope these one have survived.
Hi Pablo,

A lovely view of life in Norway again.

Fantastic shot of this bucolic landscape - and the sheep are a bonus detail! Yeah, I could see where they would be a delectable treat for predators, they look well fed!

Hi Pablo,
Very rustic scene, sheep eating away merrily in the beautiful summer weather. I was surprised to read about predators. I don't think there would be any.

Great shot again
My compliments

Hi Pablo,
Can't help noticing that the sheep got a collar ... is this like a flea collar? Tough life for a sheep over there with predators around ... thanks God we don't have them here in NZ. Lovely scenery and well composed... I like the overall depth and contrast. Image and color quality is also very good. Well done!

Hi Pablo,

The natural unspoiled beauty of Norway is shown in this photograph. The only part of Norway I have seen is 2 wo days in Oslo on summertime. Your pictures show more of the beauty of your country.

Hello Pablo

Big visual!
these are one of those views that we only see in scenes of films or in some rare postcard!
Beautiful presentation, I like the scenery and of the small free and calm sheep as all this transmitting a lot of peace in the place.
Congratulations

Sérgio

Hi Pablo,
This is a real beauty! The sheep look quite content in their summer grazing but I think there might be a wolf lurking behind the distant trees. Great clearity with smashing details and sharpness. The mountain and lovely blue sky backdrop is perfect.
Regards, Tom

Beautiful rural scene, with green hills, sheep on the pastures and old wooden house, with grass on the roof. And, above all these, the impressive sky with its clouds making shadows on the hills. Excellent light-shadows play.

TFS,
Andreea

Very nice pastural image with the old wooden house. And the softness of the light in the clouds.
Great distance from the lens and the subject.

Very well done! Yan :)

great POV and composition. nice shot!

Kewl! Hey Pablo...come on over here....you need a break..already in the archives...although they are nice ones I admit...We could fish at "Fish Lake" and get mugged by the Ukrainian ruffians who tired to take my spirit at very least...ah well...nice sheep..I reckon...but the scene behind is much better than what I am looking at out my window..
