Siggjo in winter suit

in #norway6 years ago (edited)

Siggjo, which is the highest mountain on Bømlo, appears here in the winter suit.
Also, notice how the trees appear in the cold weather.
As a curiosity, I can inform that in the Stone Age about 6000 years ago, the hunting people who lived in this area in Sunnhordland found a rock called rhyolite near the top of Siggjo. At stone-age places, archaeologists had found arrow tips of rhyolite among tools of flint stone and axes of greenstone from Hespriholmen.
For a long time, archaeologists had wondered where this particular rock was found by the Stone Age people. After a long time, an archaeologist like Alsaker managed to find this rock on the top of Siggjo.
Rhyolite is about as hard as the flintstone and is ideal for use as a tip on the arrows. The arrows with rhyolite tip used the Stone Age people to hunt for reindeer. Rhyolite was also suitable for making small sharp knife-like scrapers. These used Stone age people to scrape away meat from the skin. When the skin was finished, it could be used as clothes.

Charming winter landscapes, dear friend!

This mountain will attract me with its beautiful shapes and beautiful surroundings.

Already wanted even snow.
Winter is a rarity!

Thank you for an interesting and entertaining view of the ancient
the history of these places, @Siggjo

Rhyolite is very beautiful. Thanks to you, I even found his image. )

Veldig fine bilder av navnefjellet ditt, @siggjo! Og det var fint å lære litt historie rundt det :)

Vakre siggjo, flotte bilder. det va mye sny er dette høyt over havet?

Fjellet Siggjo er 474 meter høgt @Karja.
Og fotoet er teke på ein snørik vinter for nokre år sidan.
Elles er øya Bømlo, for det meste lågt land. Til dømes er det flate området på bildet eit islagt vatn.
Eg meiner at overflata på dette vatnet ligg omlag 10 meter over havet.

Det var flotte bilder med nydelig lys fra lav sol 👍🏻
