Valdresflye III

A couple of miles down the road I happened upon this extremely cozy landscape. Apparently I wasn't the first one to have thought so as there was a parking lot cleaned of snow with several cars there and some Swedes (hissss) were having their lunch.

This.


A bit to the left.


Furthestest to the left.


Cute.


There be people down there. My guess is that this was originally a "seter", meaning a kind of shepherds' hut in use only in the summer, when they would be there to protect the animals that were let out to pasture. It's still a common occurrance in Norway, although these days the farmers won't pay anyone to go stay out in the boondocks for a whole summer, when they can sit back and get cash from the government for every animal lost. Sigh. Anyway, once a seter, this is now either a home or a cabin or possible a set of cabins for hire.


Where I was going.


As I was pulling out of the parking lot, two really old cars came in. You can tell by the licence plates - iffin it has only have one letter, they be ooold.
