Tim and I have, in fact, been around this area before now, but today Elif, Mike and I decided to give it a go in the daytime! We spent about two hours walking around the entire lake, and I took some pictures:
This is mainly a skiing area, so most of the people making the trek up to Sogsvann actually had skis with them, or were going to rent them there. I think skiing is to your average Norwegian what jogging is to us Americans.
Elif, looking adorable and purple as usual. I heart my favorite German lady. :)
The other side of the lake. We got there eventually!
Mike is from Minnesota, and therefore immune to the cold.
Yay, sign post mostly buried under snow!
....right.
You can't actually see much of the lake because it is, in fact, buried under about two feet of snow--but that is a line of trees composing an island in the middle of Sognsvann lake which I think is quite cool. This area is literally maybe a ten minute walk from Kringsjå studentby, I love that we're so close to it!
Elif, taking a picture of me taking a picture of her. :) This is actually one of my favorite shots from the whole excursion, you should click on it to look at the larger image.
A few shots of the creek that feeds into the lake.
I think it is beyond surreal and lovely that you can't really tell where the lake begins and the shoreline ends. This whole area is so magical.

Yes, I live here. It is amazing. You're all jealous.
Elif and Mike, who did not realize I was taking a picture of them.
Tonight, with the inclusion of hopefully Richard and Tim, we'll be having dinner in Mike's room here at Kringsjå, where I will do my best to post more pictures of everyone. I do actually hang out with people other than just Tim and Elif, honest!
Lol, massage exchange.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Tim and I found that the first time I went out into this area. We just stood and had a good long laugh at it. X)
