More photos from my cycling trips 🙂 This time it’s Maridalsvannet from above.

This was taken on a completely different day and was take at the one of the rivers feeding into Maridalsvannet.
I went to Trollvann, a beautiful little lake in the hills above Oslo. The place was swarming with families out enjoying the beautiful Norwegian summer.
Trollvann. Perfect spot for a summers day out.
The lovely Ingvild and Marte invited me to stay at their awesome little cottage in the woods. It overlooks a beautiful little lake called Movatn. The weather gods were angry that evening, but we were nice and cosy and downed some yummy seafood chowder followed by a healthy dose of ice cream and chocolate sauce 🙂
Chilling out with Ingvild
Whilst cycling on the weekend I stumbled across a well known Norwegian past-time … ski jumping. These crazy Norwegian nutcases launch themselves off stupidly steep ramps whilst on skis. Apparently doing it in the winter is not enough, and so some of the craziest ones resort to doing it on an even crazier plastic hill during the summer months.
Here is the result …
The jumper did get up. Nothing more than damaged pride.
The photos were taken at Linderudkollen hoppsenter near Oslo, Norway.
Another day, another cycling trip. This time I headed north east to Kringlevann on advice from my friends Marte and Ingvild. It turns out they have great advice, as after a pleasant trip uphill I was greeted by a beautiful little lake nestled in the woods above Oslo city.
Some of my friends in New Zealand seemed fascinated that it could still be light outside in Oslo during the wee hours of the morning, so I took this photo at 1:15am during the middle of July to demonstrate how bright it gets.
