Reindeer in Bøverdalen

These pictures were taken on July 14th 2009. On our way down from Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest mountain at 2.469m (8.100ft), my wife and I saw these reindeer. I guess the area could be called Bøverdalen. My wife spotted them first and got the good close-ups, while I had to wait until the next turn in the road. The reindeer were moving away from me and there was no time to plan the photography.
