View of the biggest mountains by Ålfoten, Blånibba/Gjegnen and Bukkenibba. Image: 1337 diesel prices at Stårheim. :-D Image: Gloppefjorden.

One can see a bit of the village Reed at the eastern end. Image: The mountain Skjorta dominates the area, lying on the border between Gloppen and Jølster. Image: Skjorta as seen from Reed. Nature is showing off. Image: Approaching Byrkjelo. Image: After turning south at Byrkjelo, we're approaching Bergheim. The mountain Eggenipa is probably the most pictured peak in the area.

It's a foggy day. Image: The tunnel between Fjærland and Jølster. On our way home. Image: Approaching Dale, we got some curious light conditions. The camera mostly succeeded in capturing it.
