The land of tunnels

Norway, November 2022.

Tunnels, tunnels everywhere. Norway is full of them, reaching even the smallest of towns by steep mountain slopes. Among them, the longest in the world, the Lærdal tunnel at 24.5km. I drove it a few times as I was exploring Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, without me knowing that little fact about it.

The image above is one of a much shorter tunnel, but that backdrop really caught my eye.
