Went for a walk a up in the mountains and this is the view I got when I turned around. It was very steep so had a hard time standing and photographing.
The fjord is called “Vågsfjorden”. The mountain is called “Drangen” and is 1022 meters above the fjord.

      Nice photo. There seems to be a lot of snow on it for being such a short mountain; is it still cold there this time of year? The reason I ask is because the snow is melted off our mountains where I live, and most of them are 2000 to 2500 meters in elevation.

      BobG: It’s not really cold, but takes time to melt all the snow. In the shadow areas of the mountains the snow lays all year long.
