It is vacation time, and for a month now Terje and I will be on the road, here, there, everywhere in Norway. We left Trondheim yesterday morning and spent ALL day on the road, the first stop up in the mountains where I wanted to strech my feet with a visit in Kongsvoll Alpine Garden.
An alpine garden, high up in the mountains, open only two months a year, the other months the are is often covered in snow.
This summer has been hot and dry, and many of the flowers were already finished. Other were in fuul bloom.
I didn´t have much time, we still had a long way to go, but the short walk I managed was refreshing, and my camera was busy.
From the pamflet I found at the entrance to the garden I read:
Kongsvoll Alpine Garden was designed in 1992 by Simen Bretten, who was then in charge of Kongsvoll Biological Station. It replaced an alpine garden that a botanist named Thekla Resvoll created beside the railway station in 1924.....
Another woman I would love to know more about.

Later in the day we had lunch at a little homestead north of Hamar, Lilleberg.
Thank you Solveig and Sigurd for hospitality and delicious food.
