The crystal clear waters of the Sognefjord at dusk with reflected mountains seen from Laerdal

The extraordinarily clear waters of the Sognefjord reflect like a mirror the imposing mountains surrounding it in this view from Laerdal. Dusk paints the sky in golden and grey tones that are perfectly mirrored on the still surface of the fjord. The steep mountains plunge directly into the deep waters, creating the vertical landscape that characterizes Norwegian fjords. Laerdal, an ancient fishing village on the southern shore of the Sognefjord, still preserves its historic center with 18th century wooden houses.
