Here’s a small update from my adventurous summer:
As you already know from my previous post, I went to the North of Norway with my son. After that I spent one day at home, getting ready for my next journey: a trip to Belfast with a friend to check out Titanic International Tattoo Convention. Immediately after returning from Belfast I left on a road trip to the West coast of Norway with 4 strangers – 3 from France and one from Italy. We went hiking & trekking in the Norwegian mountains – just in time before a storm hit the area and several of the roads and tourist attractions were closed.
I have tons of photos from this summer, but I haven’t processed any of them yet. Here’s a few from the last two trips, some shot with camera(s), some with phone. Some landscapes, some portraits:
Both models behind me are inked by 梵天慶 – George from Funtian Tattoo in Taiwan.

Please tell me the first photo is photo shopped!!! How awesome your travels are!
Technically speaking it is photoshopped, because I cut out a part and enlarged it, but no: it’s not photoshopped. That’s me standing on Kjeragbolten.
Kjeragbolten is a boulder located on the mountain Kjerag in Forsand municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The rock itself is a 5-cubic-metre (180 cu ft) glacial deposit wedged in the mountain’s crevasse. It is suspended above a 984-metre (3,228 ft) deep abyss. (Wikipedia)
How did you get back up once you were standing on it????
I googled it and see that there is a flat part leading out to the rock-but the sheer height makes me dizzy.You are FEARLESS my friend! 😀
Yes, the place is quite easily accessible, but the part where you enter/exit the bolt is quite narrow, so you can feel a small adrenaline rush when you pass by that point. It’s a long way down.
😀 Good for you!
Amazing shots all round, C. Sounds like a jam-packed summer you had there. And there’s still one more month of it 😀 Amazing you stood on that rock with an emphatic message to the world. Yes, you do what you want to do…and stay safe in the end 😀
I can’t spot where you are hiding in the rock photo :O
It might be one more month of summer left, but since I’ve spent my vacation days I’m back at work. I had an awesome and action packed summer, so it doesn’t feel that bad to be back. It’s great to see my son again after two weeks away from him!
The guy that shot the photo where I’m hiding didn’t know that I was there. 😀
Wow – what variety – great.
Thanks David. Add the North of Norway to this mix and I can say that I’ve had a truly awesome summer!
Unbelievable, Cardinal…
Bravissimo!
Thanks. Here’s my Italian friends blog about this trip: http://norway.galaktika.it/
Good, Lord! All the rock shots made my heart momentarily stop… not just the one of you standing on the suspended boulder. Have you no fear?
I have some fear, but not a lot: I could feel the heart pump a bit extra when I climbed unto the rock – I’ll admit that.
Love this so much
Thank you. It was a great summer.
You have had an action packed summer!! I’m sooo jealous of your trip to the north. It looks AMAZING!!!!
Looking forward to more photos as you start to organize your files 🙂
Thanks Joanne. The summer has been fantastic. These photos are all from Belfast and the West coast of Norway. The trip up North was great too and I’ll share plenty of photos from all three destinations during the next weeks.
Looks like you had a good time!
Amazing! Thanks!
Busy and happy Cardinal. Sorry for my absence. Life’s too short x
Fantastic gallery. Looks (and sounds 😃) like you’ve had the most enjoyable summer!
