Travel theme: Mountains from Where’s My Backpack

Forestwood

The Travel theme: Mountains Weekly challenge comes from http://wheresmybackpack.com/ 

and as I have finished the January Photo challenge, I thought I would join in. Also a great opportunity to showcase some of my amateur ( but I love them) photos of mountains. One or two may be reposts, but worthwhile reposts….

This is something quite relaxing when sitting in the peace and quiet gazing at a mountain scene ( preferably with snow atop) especially where the mountain meets the water line.

Here is my contribution: –

A philosophic Australian writes here, one who admits to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics, but scratch the surface and you'll find I am a practical Environmentalist with an Egalitarian bent trying to unleash a little creativity. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I am Australian. Travel broadens the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid reader, I enjoy photography, writing and a variety of crafts, particularly traditional art forms. You are always welcome to stop by at S.t.P.A.

    1. The countries are quite similar in many ways, and I laughed when I saw a posterboard advertising New Zealand in Copenhagen. It said,” Norway? No New Zealand!” Against a backdrop of mountains and fjord!
