I need some time off from social media. Not sure if I will delete my account here or if I will be back again later, time will show Thank you to every one that have been so kind and for all support❤️ I made this post out of earlier photos and a poem that is read in Norwegian .
English translation of poem will follow...

Snow And Spruce Forest (Snø og granskog)
.
Talk about what home is ---
snow and spruce forest
is home.
From the very start
it is ours.
Before anyone has told us
that it is snow and spruce forest,
it has its place in us ---
and then it is there
the whole, whole time.
Waist-high drift
around dark trees
--- it's here for us!
Mixed into our own breath.
The whole, whole time,
though no one sees it,
we have snow and spruce forest with us.
Yes, the hill under snow,
and tree upon tree
as far as you gaze ---
wherever we are
we find ourselves
facing this.
And have in us a promise
about coming home.
Coming home,
going out there,
bending branches,
---and feeling so it flares in you
what it is to be where you belong.
The whole, whole time,
until it's put out
in our inland hearts.
Tarjei Vesaas, Norwegian author/poet, 1897-1970. Taken from Kjeldene (Eng: The Sources, 1946. Translated by Roger Greenwald. Poem is read in Norwegian by Finn Kvalem and are found in the collection "Mitt Telemark" .

Spent a week road tripping in Iceland , the land of fire and ice, waterfalls, volcanos, glaciers, canyons, mountains, black sand beaches, sheep, horses and if you are lucky, a beautiful sky. I was lucky enough to have the best photographer by my side in yet another adventure together @manu_gagnon ❤️ #iceland #mothernatureatitsbest #vikingland #leiandmanu #roadtrippin #islandia #2000kminiceland
