Spring Waters
Spring is very different here in Norway. Instead of blossoming flowers and bright sun it is the time the thick Winter snow melts and the clouds try hard to replenish it. Eventually the clouds give up to make way for Summer but usually not until the end of May.
Even though the green has yet to appear during this time, the land still feels very alive. This is waterfall season. Every mountain is streaming with water running down into the fjords. As Summer draws near the mountains get bluer and bluer, however, some still keep remnants of their winter coat.
