Kvitfjell, literally translated, means “White Mountain”. During our first major snowfall of the season a couple of weeks ago, a new world descended to transform the landscape beneath a veil of crystal purity, and I understood how the mountain got its name. Looking out from Kvitfjell, you realize that you are surrounded by ranges of mountains that appear as though they have been whitewashed onto the horizon. The new Heading > North image taken from the top is a breathtaking panorama. Of course, that’s true not only because of the astounding beauty, but also because the only other name I can think of for it is Kaldtfjell, or “Cold Mountain”. Sometimes, it’s too cold to want to breath. I’ll post some other photographs that will do poorly at capturing the effect that experiencing these mountains has on your senses, or you can read a poem written years ago that may well have been inspired while dreaming of this place.
