Fra Sandeid til Sauda
Det nærmeste vi kommer snø i Haugesund, blir enten å kjøre til Etne- eller Saudafjellene, eller å ta en tur på Steinfjellet med en kraftig kikkert. Da kan vi i hvert fall få et glimt av denne vintersvøpen - som vi faktisk er begynt å savne. 

I Sauda har de snø oppi fjellene. Svandalen skisenter var i full gang med preparering av løypene som virket harde, men snø var der!

Underveis, både til og fra Sauda, gjorde jeg noen fotostopp, og fikk derfor innfridd ennå bildeønsker fra noen av dere som besøker dette nettstedet.

English:
If we want snow these days in the Haugesund area, we can go to the Etne- or the Sauda mountain area's. Or - we can bring a binocular to the Steinsfjellet viewpoint to see some distant mountains with snow on. We miss the snow, but the mild winters we experience now, give us only short periods with this kind of real winter! 

In Sauda they have green lawns - and snow (se picture above). On the Svandalen downhill centre they worked hard making the tracks ready for next weekend.

On my way back, I shot some pictures in Vikedal and Sandeid:

Morgenstemning langs Hylsfjorden
Morning fjord scenery

Solen når ikke til Sand
The sun is to low to reache Sand in Ryfylke.

Idyllisk: fjellene i Sauda glinset i solen i dag
Scenic: The white Sauda mountains are spectacular in the sun

På tilbaketur passeres Vikedal kirke
When returning, we pass the Vikedal church

og Vikedal sentrum
and central Vikedal
