Having finally squeezed out of the Internet all the entertainment I could stand, I decided to spend yesterday driving a bit around, just taking in the local sights. Prior to getting a teaching job up here at Dokka, I hadn't really been to the area in around 30+ years. I have some vague memories of a childhood car trip with the parental units, but that's all.
So I first set out for the field of
rock carvings some locals had told me about which were just west of town (I use the term town liberally). I never got to see the carvings because the area leading to them was flooded, but I got some purdy photos of the waterfall immediately to the south of them, called Møllerstufossen (Miller's cabin falls).
I'll make a second attempt when things have dried up in July, I pwomise.
You can view
all the pics here.
There are some tables and the area looks perfect for a picnic. Iffin you have someone to go there with. *wipes away a silent tear*
Purdy flowers. I believe the blue ones are known as Common Hepatica or pennyworth in English, while the yellow ones are a type of buttercups. Really, my knowledge of flora and fauna is atrocious.
Dramatic crashing of water against a rock.
View downstream. The river, called Etna, is really a very handsome body of water.
