Rain, Clouds, Wind and Awesomeness in Norway

2 Comments

Our second day in the mountains was a rainy day, so we donned our weather gear and hit the mountains for a short hike anyway. The site was almost like being underwater. Strange flora and miniature fauna. Squishy moss. Slippery black goo. Rocks. Rain. And fog.

The view

Snow

Up and up to around 1500 meters.

And then back down.

Maplethorpe, Munch, and Viking War Ships

Snow in Oslo and a quick hit means lots of über and two museums.

We will now preside over some Viking ruins!

And then it was over to a very strange juxtaposition indeed. Maplethorpe is just a wee bit better than Munch, but don’t tell the Norwegiens. Judge for yourself.

“My, they are all worked up” remarks the chair, gazing curiously downward at the protesters below.

The snow is still deep. We’re still cutting trails with lots of effort. Sophie is shorter than the snow is tall. But frankly, the slow melt is fantastic given our location on the Shenandoah river.

Dear Winslow,

You are correct. I’m pretty sure we should deliver this now.

Thank you.
