The shallow lake Lygnstøl-vatnet is about one hundred years old. In 1908 a landslide filled the bottom of the vally most distant from the camera. When the light is favorable, the stone fundaments of a summer dairy can be seen. In the background the mountain Slogen (1564 m), well-known among mountaineers. |
