The Stavdals

I would like a picture of your balcony view/favourite veiw from your place!
You might argue, I presume, that your place or a site you have some degree of ownership to, is the most beautiful, stunning, breath-taking, dazzling or spectacular in the world. It's not my ambition to go so far as claiming to have the most gorgeous view in the world. I feel inspired by the arctic view from our balcony, though, and if you read on, you'll see for yourself!

Actually, I'd like to challenge you. Please send a picture of your view to my email, and I'll post it here. Wouldn't that be fun?

Comment: Across the water in the distance, to the left of the midnight sun, is the glacier that Jules Verne used in his book Journey to the Centre of the Earth--their starting point into the earth.

If it was in the middle of the day, you would see Icelandic horses running
around immediately outside our balcony...

I think Rune needs some serious competition
