The winter is drawing closer with every passing second. Picture taken with my Olympus E-500 dSLR /w Zuiko Digital 14-45 mm. f/3.5-5.6 (kit lense) @ 45 mm. f/6.3.
Awesome place you live men......Enjoy this coming winter...

Oh, it's all just a show for the tourists. Getting caught outside of (the very few, highly boring-to-ride and flat) approved and marked trails qualifies you for a USD $1000 fine + revoked licence; getting closer to USD $2000 if you try to outrun the polices' choppers and ground units (ironically driving sleds themselves). You see, the people in charge are stacked up in "Stortinget" in Oslo, the capital; lightyears away from any sense- and feel of reality. The ignorant, selfish and misinformed politicians make up rules to suit themselves and the people in the capital, totally ignoring how people actually live their lives all the way up here in the northern part of the country. They talk the talk of protecting the enviroment and animals when most know it's all about soaking in their pool of power and showing off their dominant position to Working Joe. Of course, the liberal parties can't get enough votes to get in a position to loosen up the regulations; they don't have an overall party programme that might interrest the majority of voters in the south, and so the spiral of evil concervativeism continiues to spell the certin death of all outdoor powersports. Meanwhile, some people are packing shotguns on their backs / handguns while out riding and open fire on the helicopters trying to catch them (this is not a joke).
But hey - at least the country looks nice from outside the borders, right?

EDIT:
We get lots of snow, just not a real good shot at actually using it to perform any riding. Finland and Sweden is where it's at; I find it funny that you have to travel abroad to our neighboring countries to (practically) enjoy a sport that brings so much joy to their participants.
EDIT2:
People of the United States of America, please think about us Norwegians. Enjoy your hard-earned freedoms and wonderful mountains.
