Transition from autumn to winter

And nearby, some nice and typical Norwegian houses. I know at least one, who is interested in such pictures. ;-)


The first time that I saw salmon in nature! And so many of them. They seemed not to be scared by us humans.

GPS measurements



The river at low water level

Divers connected to the laptop to download data.

Pipes were installed to determine the fluctuation of water level. The rising and falling of the water level is caused by a water power plant in the catchment of the river. This power plant is shut down during day times of low consumption.
The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of the regularly changing water level on invertebrates, small fish and other animal living in the river bed.



Using liquid nitrogen that freezes during expansion, one small cylindric section of the ground was frozen to determine the grain size distribution.

And how do some students spend these last pre-winter days in November?
They go out to freeze the ground at the sides of a river bed...
And say that it is for scientific purposes. ;-)
No joke, it really was.

More and more trees become leafless...
But still, some sunny days remain

Days are becoming shorter...

The snow-covered mountains indicate that winter is not far.
This picture was taken the 28th of October.
