At the end of October 2023, we drove 164 kilometers to Trondheim and needed nearly 2:30 hours to reach the city. While we ventured through the area we saw different things but one of the most iconic sceneries I knew from Trondheim was finally photographed today.

Winding its way along the Nidarosdomen park and picturesque areas, with the historic, wooden wharf houses lining its sides towards the mouth at the Trondheimsfjord, and the beautiful, wooden bridge “Gamle Bybro” crossing it, the scenic Nidelva river is a wonderful template for many famous pictures of this scenery you may have stumbled upon!

Having seen this, one part of my traveling bucket list was finished today! ✅

This image shows a row of colorful wooden buildings directly along the edge of a river. These buildings are known as 'stilt houses,' standing on pilings over the water. The architectural style and the arrangement suggest they are likely located in a Northern European country, possibly Norway. The overcast sky and the calm water create a tranquil and slightly moody atmosphere. The buildings are painted in various shades, including red, yellow, and green, which are typical for historical buildings in some Scandinavian waterfronts. This scene might be found in a city like Trondheim, where such waterfront architecture is iconic.

Hel (Old Norse Hel, “Hidden”) is a giantess and/or goddess who rules over the identically-named Hel, the underworld where many of the dead dwell. Her name’s meaning of “Hidden” surely has to do with the underworld and the dead being “hidden” or buried beneath the ground.
According to the thirteenth-century Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson, Hel is the daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrboda (Old Norse Angrboða, “Anguish-boding”), and therefore the sister of the wolf Fenrir and the world serpent, Jormungand. This makes her part of a highly dangerous and disreputable family.

The image features a wooden sculpture of a figure with a striking and somewhat stylized design. The sculpture has a large, elongated head with detailed facial features including eyes, a nose, and a mouth etched into the wood. The head is adorned with multiple protruding elements that resemble spikes or nails, creating a crown-like effect. The body of the sculpture is slender and elongated, with arms flat against its sides, also carved with details that suggest clothing or armor. The background shows a natural, outdoor setting with a clear sky and some clouds, along with grass and distant trees, indicating that the sculpture is placed in an open landscape. The art style seems rustic and possibly inspired by tribal or ancient artwork, giving it a powerful and evocative presence.

"Do you remember?
How we watched the moon
Counted all the shimmering stars
Inhaled the night

Do you still remember?
Do you even care?
Words spoken in the darkness
And the promise made.

Do you remember at all?
How we two made the winds rise
We would walk in each other's dreams
Run the woods in wolf's skin.

But I remember
Still I remember
You made the vows to return to me
On this shore by the silent sea.

How we lost it all?
Below the argent moon..."

(Insomnium, "The Conjurer")

This image portrays a rugged mountain landscape under a clear sky with the moon visible in the background. The mountains have steep and rocky slopes with a variety of earthy tones from dark browns to golden hues, likely highlighted by the low angle of sunlight. The visible geological features and erosion patterns suggest a harsh and possibly arid environment. The presence of the moon adds a serene, almost otherworldly quality to the scene.

Last week, I travelled down to the Sjuhärad region to deliver these heddles to Vävkompaniet and visit Åke Erlandsson, who has been making heddles for them for many years. It was awesome to see some of the heddles he's made and his workshop, where he has crafted several hundreds of them.

You can buy these heddles (and my darning mushrooms) on Vävkompaniet's website. Naturally, Åke's fantastic heddles are also available there! 😄

A huge thank you to Maria Stawåsen at Vävkompaniet for coming along and making sure I got to meet Åke.

The record-breaking tunnel being built from Denmark to Germany.

Running for 18km, the Fehmarnbelt will be the world's longest pre-fabricated road and rail tunnel. The remarkable feat of engineering will see segments of the tunnel placed on top of the seafloor, and then joined together.

The link will slash journey times between much of Scandinavia and continental Europe.

Norway is definitely one of my places to be - this view reminding on mythical English Avalon is located in Rennesøy which now belongs to the Stavanger-municipality.

"There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it."
