The fjord is a long gem, 100 km between Færder lighthouse to Oslo, and it is encircled by the country’s most densely populated area. In the summer the fjord comes to life and my wife DianeCA and I often go to our favourite little island for a swim, some tanning and sometimes a little picnic. With my Nokia N82 at hand, I captured one of this quality times with my wife this summer and you’re welcome to join our BBQ feast: Grilled chicken with salad and dressing. This island, Kalvøya (Calf Island) is just 20 minutes from Oslo center by public transportation. Even in this densely populated area in Norway (Oslo: 0.5 mil.), you can find your own, quiet little spot along the fjord to enjoy the tranquillity and fresh air. You’ll also find beaches - sometimes a bit overcrowded to my taste - or less crowded like the nude beach ;-). Her we found our own little bathing spot and after a relaxing swim, my wife packed out the food for a BBQ and I was the chef: Norwegians have a close relationship with boating, and this is evident in the Oslo fjord. In the summer there are boats of all sizes on the fjord, and it is possible to go kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and sailing if you wish to enjoy the outdoors! This is the view from our cook out that day - to me this is by all means; recreational: There is a flourishing animal life on this island with a lot of birds, some more intrusive than others. Here are some seagulls enjoying some of our leftovers: I just love to be out in the nature, not only in the summer time, but in all four seasons. It’s a way to charge your batteries, to find inspiration and get away from the stressful, urban life. In Oslo, it’s just outside your doorstep you know. As I’ve reported before, this island is recreational in all seasons - have a look: -> From frozen Paradise to hot summer beaches in Oslo Norway -> Frozen Paradise [...] [...] From the harbour of the capital of Norway, The Oslo Fjord, you find the most popular recreation area.

This is one thing I miss in India; the chill of winter, the warm fireplaces, and watching the stark beauty of snow and ice (I love the landscapes at night when the moon is bright). <strong>RennyBA</strong> Thanks for the compliment and for reading some of my old posts too! I do agree with you: nothing is more romantic than a fully moon shining on snow in the dark winter night! Wow! Magical.

Beautiful Photos. <br/><br/>Very true, here in winter wonderland --- the air is crisp and fresh, the skies more dramatic, the nature fantastic. These are the things that makes me forget my being away from my family. :) Hei Renny! Beautiful Photos.
