Juletid in March?
Coming in on the barge to Lyngen I had to double-take – is that Nisse? He looks quite at home in the Arctic snow. I would have thought it was the juletid season if I didn’t know it was three months after Christmas. The difference between Christmas and Spring is that the sun has returned and usually Nisse is resting in the barn with the animals. I guess he doesn’t know the time with all that snow across his eyes.

A lonely mountain on the edge of the Finnmark Plateau.
Confirmations were important for entrance into adult life. One had to have their confirmation to be able to work or get married.
The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business. 
The bunad is a traditional Norwegian costume worn by both men and women. It can either come from established rural traditions or have a more modern design inspired by historical patterns and cuts.
What a beautiful photo!
I love this picture. It is really Christmas in this snapshot. I really wanted to come to a place with winter weather. I am amuse and interested to see the snow falling from the sky to the leaves of the pine trees. It is amazing and very pleasing to the eyes.
