That's some amazing scenery... looks like a fun roadtrip, although a cold one at that.

[mautzel]

Nice trip! How I'd like to visit Norway again - but time and money aren't on my side at the moment.

[Shawn]

^ Imagine living in North America then... there's no new countries to visit. Canada and the US are pretty much identical so even if you go to the opposite side of the continent it's still the same culture, same food, same language.

[mautzel]

You indeed can't complain about the variety of landscapes, cultures and people Europe offers on an area that isn't even slightly half as big as the US and Canada.

Why on earth did you have to ruin so many of the otherwise really nice photos by putting such a rubbish car-like-thing in it too ? Have to make that kind of a trip myself one day.

[Shawn]

What's a "rubbish car-like-thing"? Are you referring to his SUV?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. It's not to be taken as an insult or something personal......I just dislike that thing very, very much 8)

I'll disagree, I've been to most all of the US and the people are different everywhere you go. What Charles Kuralt said is true: "The interstate highway system is a wonderful thing. It makes it possible to go from coast to coast without seeing anything or meeting anybody. If the United States interests you, stay off the interstates."

The landscape is just as varied. There are deserts, forests, mountains, plains and everything in between.

Plus we have cowboys and indians...

[Shawn]

^ Seriously? Nowhere in North America has as much variety as Europe. You have so many countries there. From Sweden to France to Greece... all within a few hours of travel.

So the US is different in the North than the South, but it's still not like Europe, with dozens of different countries in a tiny area

[Cobol74]

^ Er I would not like to try driving to Greece in a few hours from London - you'd need an R8.

Nice pics - one or two are wonderful IMHO. Glad you had some fun.

[Angst]

But London-Athens is definitely a shorter route than New York-San Diego, for example. However, I'd say both North America and Europe have beautiful and different places worth a seeing. I've been in the US three times as of now, and I can't say I visited it all.

[hanasand]

Nice trip probably, but I feel like I've seen this particular picture sometime before.. hmm

[watto]

Nice trip, nice pics!
