Just behind the summit cairn, a mere 30 meters below the highest point, lies the perfectly situated Ustetind cabin. Please visit the full screen for a closer view of this vast landscape. After a rather miserable morning, the weather cleared toward the afternoon. A very strong wind and fast-moving clouds, however, thwarted any hope of pixel-matching HDR to get more detail out of the area around the sun. The tripod was firmly anchored with stones around the legs, but the spirit level in the hotshoe still acted like it was voyaging on the high seas. A close look at the photographer's shadow reveals someone with white knuckles holding on to the VR rig. Still, a beautiful sunset seeing off a winter that is still in its prime this far north.
