I was supposed to be in Sauda with a friend wandering around in the mountains but due illness I couldn't go.
But after spending a few days at home resting up I was feeling better. Albeit too late for the Sauda trip. So I set off on a solo trip to Bynuten with the intention to capture the setting sun from up there and to capture some milky way images.

I started late in the afternoon so I didn't have to spend hours waiting for the sun to come down. I timed it pretty well, I had about 20 minutes before the sun set by the time I got to the summit.
I got some photos and proceeded to make some dinner while waiting for the stars to come out.
Once satisfied I had images I was happy with I made my down in the dark.
