Greetings From Balestrand, Norway — Pic Heavy

My wife and I are on a Scandinavia Trip. We are staying in Balestrand, Norway at the moment. Today, we hiked up in the hills high above the Sogne Fjord. It is probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. It was a helluva hike up 700m. The top was 970m, but it was socked in with clouds and mist, and I was carrying a 4yo on my shoulders. It did make for some fantastic pictures. I decided on my Polar 16570 for the trip while my wife was wearing her TOG. I hope you enjoy the pictures, but pictures honestly don’t do this place justice.

Congrats, Jason !

Nice place, nice watch !

I've been to MANY places in Norway as my wife is from there. (Stavanger/Bergen/Strandebarm/Vik/Tromsø, and the list goes...)

I'm moving to the country (Rogaland County) at the end of this year !
My wife has lived 6 years here in São Paulo with me but now we've decided it's time to move to her place !

Enjoy !

Excellent pictures, great watch choices. Btw, I recently saw a Norwegian movie called Wave, the scenery looks similar. Beautiful nature, miss the greenery.
