Autumn Textures





On any celebration table in Norway you can always find a Norwegian layer cake (bløtkake). What better way to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day than with fresh cream, wild berries and a little bit of sponge in between.

Norwegian houses are very charming with their wooden panels and slate roofing. It is typical for a house to be painted a strong colour such as red, blue or yellow, but white is the most popular.

Reindeer herding is more than just an occupation, it is a way of life and an integral part of the Sami culture and identity.

So beautiful! Those photos are full of a sense of peace, and remind me of what I love about this time of year.
As dreary as the weather’s been here in the Pacific Northwest this week, I’ve seen some beautiful leaves on the ground, which I would have loved to have taken pictures of if I’d had my camera with me.
You’ve captured the beauty of the season very well.
