One of the highlights of our Autumn trip, was camping alongside a small bay in central Norway, where to our delight we were able to observe an otter at length - its sleek body moving smoothly through the water - leaving behind a trail of glistening ripples - it really reminded us of Gavin Maxwell’s “Ring of Bright Water”:

As I didn't get any decent images of the otter, I leave you with this vista of the bay

Thanks for the visit - have a great day

What a beautiful tranquil place to just stay and experience the wonders of the natural world, Sinuhe.

Ring of Bright Water is one of my all time favourite books.

Great colors, serene mood and composition, Sinuhe. Pretty nice 'consolation prize', I hope the otter was more cooperative later.

A marvellous place to enjoy Sinuhe. This is heavenly! Although the Otter wasn't co-operative, sometimes watching is more than enough, particularly with this view to enjoy.

Ditto! Loved that book, and this is a wonderful scene to imagine that beautiful animal, even though we don't see it. Glad you got to enjoy it.

Really a nice view of this bay, such an incredibly golden light, a beautiful sky with a few clouds
and the reflection on the differently rippled water.
