Atlantic Road

Una delle strade più spettacolari della Norvegia è sicuramente l’Atlantic Road.
Otto km di asfalto che corre sull’oceano collegando Molde a Kristiansund.
Vi confesso che non sono stato estasiato, avrei preferito scattare foto in burrasca oppure al tramonto, e magari da un’angolazione meno noiosa.
Quando la composizione mi annoia arriva sempre qualcuno nel mirino a rendere le cose piu interessanti.. in questo caso un signore con il suo cagnolino.

The route was originally proposed as a railway line in the early 20th century, but this was abandoned. Serious planning of the road started in the 1970s, and construction started on 1 August 1983. During construction the area was hit by 12 European windstorms. The road was opened on 7 July 1989, having cost 122 million Norwegian krone (NOK), of which 25 percent was financed with tolls and the rest from public grants. Collection of tolls was scheduled to run for 15 years, but by June 1999 the road was paid off and the toll removed. The road is preserved as a cultural heritage site and is classified as a National Tourist Route. It is a popular site to film automotive commercials, has been declared the world’s best road trip, and been awarded the title as “Norwegian Construction of the Century”. In 2009, the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel opened from Averøy to Kristiansund; together they form a second fixed link between Kristiansund and Molde.

E qui invece vi metto un bello scatto notturno dell’Oceano Atlantico di notte.
Una lunga esposizione prima che arrivasse un’acquazzone.
