Alternative banner for this article?
[edit]
I created a new alternative banner for this article (I initially created it first and foremost so that it would be used at the top of the parallel article in the Hebrew edition of Wikivoyage, yet I later decided to also suggest that the English Wikivoyage community would consider using it here as well). So, which banner do you prefer having at the top of this article? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 08:28, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Both banners are good. The alternative is more attractive. I don't know if we should hold back from using it, because correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe someone falls off while climbing up that mountain every year. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- I kind of like the top one. None of the other pictures show snow. ChubbyWimbus (talk) 12:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Besseggen and Gjende lake (lower photo) is one of the most popular hikes in Norway, there has been fatal accidents, but not every year I think. The top photo is Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest summit, the approach is across a glacier. Gjende lake is one of Norway's finest. Besseggen's most narrow point is between Gjende and Bessvatnet lakes with different colors (see photo). In Ibsens play Peer Gynt Besseggen is called Gendine-Edge: "Have you ever chanced to see the Gendin–Edge? Nigh on four miles long it stretches sharp before you like a scythe. Down o’er glaciers, landslips, scaurs, down the toppling grey moraines, you can see, both right and left, straight into the tarns that slumber, black and sluggish, more than seven hundred fathoms deep below you." --Erik den yngre (talk) 12:19, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Erik den yngre, which one do you prefer? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 13:11, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- The lower one, with the lake, better colors and more distinct. But I am looking through the category for Jotunheimen at commons for possible alternatives. Erik den yngre (talk) 13:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

- Alternative banner. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 14:36, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Alternative all the way! --ButteBag (talk) 23:20, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, the alternative banner is much more eye catching. DethDestroyerOfWords (talk) 13:47, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
I've added the alternative banner. Feel free to add a caption if you kmow the place. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 14:08, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
