June 12th 2021, back to Telemark
June 12th 2021, one year after my fatal accident in Telemark, I went back. No drama, just a strange feeling. Truth be told I didn’t, and still don’t have, any memories of the accident.

Or attempt to be. Have a-something to offer that can be of use, to readers. Whether because of imagery,…read more>>
Fate and fatalities, early end of a summer season
Fate is, well for the most part, and for the most of us, unknown. Until it’s the present or, as one sometimes look forward to, history. This introduction may sound a bit cryptic. But if you grant me some minutes it should become clear what type of fate I am hinting at. It will also…read more>>
Valdresflye and home, summer ride 2
Valdresflye is a “household name” in Norway, a name for both a road or route as well as a mountain plateau. It was also a part of my return route back to Oslo. Sunday morning the return began.
