This is Norway (and My Cute Puppy)
15:41:00
I spent last weekend at our cabin in the mountains. We share it with our extended family, and it is truly one of the most beautiful places. Everything is so old-fashioned and the village (if it can even be called that) is so tiny, it feels like you're stepping into a fairytale.
We have no neighbours there; the closest one is a farm on the other side of a creek and up a hill, and it is just all so idyllic. The village has two shops: one for food, and one that stocks everything else: candles, yarn, tools, warm clothes, toys, you name it. The kids who live there have to travel over an hour to the closest town just to go to secondary school.
It all feel so surreal when you're there. This time, I decided to bring my camera and show you the hike we usually go on. Also, my puppy. She's featured in basically every shot, so apologies if you're not too big of a dog-fan.
The leaves and nature in general was surprisingly green for it to be the beginning of October. Usually they'd either be dead already, or at least a darker shade of orange or red.
Yes, this was my face as I was looking at my cute puppy. Look at her here though, isn't she just the cutest?
She's a surprisingly good poser.
We didn't go very far on our hike, but we did get to the Big Rock, which is just balancing there, large enough to walk around on. Fun fact: there's a huge rock balancing on a flat berg somewhere in western Norway, called The Man. It's been there for thousands of years, but a few years ago there were rumours it was about to roll down. The Norwegian equivalent of the BBC did a 24-hour livestream of it, waiting for anything to happen, but nothing did and it's still there.
These next two show the difference between when my dog was focusing on something above me, and the moment she grew curious and wanted to sniff my camera. I'm pretty sure I now have dog slobber on my camera lens.
And last but not least, me and the puppy.
Weekends like this make me realise how proud I am of Norway and our nature. I wish I could invite you all over and show you, because it's the kind of thing that needs to be seen with your own eyes. I've also previously done a post with photos of what is known as Norway's best hike, and it can be seen here if you're interested.
I hope you enjoyed this post, and that you didn't mind all my doting on the dog. She's adorable, and I miss her a lot since I don't live with her anymore.
