Kragerø: Revisiting an Art Town
I have been back in Kragerø, a town on the coast of southern Norway. I was introduced to more art, to old friends of my husband, and saw some strange, dark, and creepy sculptures. Tourism has grown fast since my husband lived here and he feels that the place has lost a little of its […]

Film Buddies in Oslo
On a short stopover in Oslo, my husband met some old friends from the movie industry; a producer, a director of photography, and an actor. I don’t know so much about my husband’s past.

I love to visit old quarters and thanks to a group of volunteers in Halsa, Norway I could also do it here. Luckily, many Norwegians still have a Viking spirit when it comes to helping society become more livable.

Bonfire at a Norwegian Fjord
After a long period of cold and rainy weather, the sun finally arrived. My husband’s former wife’s family; mother, sisters, and close relatives in four generations decided to celebrate the event on the beach at the bottom of a long and narrow fjord. I’m used to be with a lot of people, but not on an […]
