A beautiful cottage in Flam, Norway

Una bella villetta a Flam, in Norvegia

A beautiful little house in Flam, Norway.
When I'm in port with the ship and unfortunately, for one reason or another, I have to stay on board, I love using the telephoto lens to immortalize what you see from the higher decks.
They are often unusual perspectives.
This, for example, was a beautiful little house with a few rows of fruit trees in front.

Here's where the villa is located more or less:

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

Sailing in the Geiranger Fjord in Norway

Navigando nel fiordo di Geiranger in Norvegia

Sailing in the Geiranger Fjord in Norway.
My job has taken me sailing in the Norwegian fjords aboard the Costa Crociere ships for two consecutive summers.
What a spectacle it is to cross the mountains on a ship!
These three shots are from two years ago while I was aboard the former Costa Firenze.

Here is where the fjord is located:

The Geirangerfjord (Geirangerfjorden) is a fjord in the Norwegian region of Sunnmøre in the south of the county of Møre og Romsdal. It is a branch of the much larger Storfjorden and within it is the famous village of Geiranger. The fjord is one of the most visited natural sites in Norway and since 2005 it is included, together with the Nærøyfjord, in the List of World Heritage Sites drawn up by UNESCO. The presence of these two fjords in the list is however threatened by a plan to build some power lines through the fjord.

The yellow smokestack of the Firenze in Flam, Norway

La cimiera gialla della Costa Firenze a Flam in Norvegia

The yellow smokestack of the Firenze in Flam, Norway.
An unmistakable chimney: the blue C on the yellow of Costa Crociere. Last year I was working on the Costa Firenze and, after many years, I was in Northern Europe.
Here the ship was in the small port of Flam located at the end of one of the most beautiful fjords in the region.
A few steps outside and a photo of the chimney was a must!
