These 15 beautiful photos show exactly why we want to move to Norway

Author: Rob Slade

Our summers are abysmal, our winters are even worse and we’re dealing with the fallout from Brexit and the dubious state of British politics. Add in the English national football team’s embarrassing exit from the Euros and you realise that this is perhaps not the best of times for some of us Brits.

All of the above has us wanting to pack up and head abroad, and if we could, Norway would be at the top of the list. Why? Well, take a look through these 15 unbelievably stunning photographs and you’ll understand.

Photographer Paul Edmundson made the move himself in 2003 and has been photographing the country’s incredible scenery ever since. Here, we’ve picked a selection of his photos highlighting the breathtaking beauty that Norway has to offer.
