We’ll start with the “there,” our visit to Anne-Lise’s sister Berit and husband Jan in Tjome, Norway. And then the “here” with yesterday’s recreation on ice at Niles Pond, Gloucester (there was an excellent video posted last evening).
Flying across Norway, which has 3/4 the population of Massachusettss, but 15 times the area.Landing at Oslo’s Gardermoen Airport. A bit like Essex farms?Norwegian winter birds – a Eurasian Magpie and a Hooded Crow.Our Mute Swans are scarce, but they are abundant on the Norwegian coastline.Fresh shrimp caught daily are reason enough to visit Norway. Time for Berit’s and my open sandwiches.Gloucester’s short season is dead in the water, but Norway’s is still 12 months.The evening golden hour has always attracted painters in Tjome and on Cape Ann.Our same sunsets. We’ll all have equal day and night at the equinox in a month.Back on Niles Pond, I wasn’t familiar with this iceboarding technology.Iceboarders and iceboats share the pond.Iceboats accelerate fast in puffs of wind.Comfortable temperatures brought out skaters, sailors, hockey players and a dog.Maintaining a broad reach allowed sails to take you in opposite directions.This actually looks less comfortable than the weather.
