Mountain tarn, on Gøysen

Saturday 31st August 2013, 2.05pm (day 737)

Mountain tarn, 31/8/13

Saturday saw us walking up to the peak of Gøysen, part of the Skorve massif. This shot was taken at approximately 1250 metres above sea level, making it one of the highest on this blog so far. I love the crystal clarity of the water in this tarn (one of many terms for mountain features which have been adopted into English, or at least into northern English dialect, but which come from Norwegian originally: like force (foss: a waterfall) and fell (fjell: a mountain)). The colours on the mountain were also very profuse. More photos from this walk have been uploaded onto my walking blog, by the way.
