    I received this photo from a friend and requested permission to share it with the Stewbies. It's taken near the Swedish border east of Bodø. Pretty, isn't it?

    Absolutely lovely. Do thank your friend for us Droopy. I love the contrast between the sky, water, mountains and the trees in the foreground. A really gorgeous picture.

    Scandinavia is beautiful. People complain about the weather, but that climate produces some fantastic environments. Please thank your friend for us Droopy.

    Beautiful, thank your friend for letting us enjoy the photo.

    It's looks like we won't be getting any Autumn color at all this year, more like winter color instead. :rolleyes: So any and all Autumn color photos are great appreciated.

    My friend is duly thanked. :D We haven't got much autumn colour here either. It suddenly turned cold, then wet, then warm, more wet and now it's cold again so the colours never had a chance really.

    Our leaves are just dropping off the trees because of the hot and dry weather. Nothing pretty about it. Thanks for the photo, Droopy! dooley

    Isn't that a good foto, Drooppy! It has all the components of the fall shown here. Burrrrrr. It looks cold and beautiful.
    Bodø is one of those cities up north, isn't it?... One of the coastal towns where the Hurtigruten boat stops, right?

    You're all very welcome. Sjoerd, you're right about Bodø. It's not a very big or pretty place but the scenery around the town is breath-taking. :D
