A walk up the Kjenndals Valley and drive to….

God is talking: ” The word is very close to you, in your mouth, in your heart, so you may do it. See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways and keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgements,that thou mayest live…”

Deuteronomy 30:14,15,16…

There have been two significant rock slides. One in 1905 and another in 1936 when 135 lives were lost.

The silence was pleasant as the sun came out. Walking is level and easy right near to the ice.

Of course, there is no real silence. There is always the sound of water on the move, and this glacier seemed to be feeding more waterfalls. The scraping of the ice and melting of the glacier carry silt and small particles of stones hence this beautiful bluegreen of the water.

I asked the question.

When does this colour start? 

I then tried to video it.

Then, a majestic  pass above Geiranger.

Over every mountain, there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.

Theodore Roethke

Any road followed precisely  to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it’s a mountain. From the top you can not see the mountain.

Frank Herbert

Remember when life’s road is steep to keep your mind even.

Horace

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, and deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, I’m at home and at ease on a track that I know not, ( if I’m with Roy) and restless and lost on a road that I know. (Not true for me , I love home, the place I know well!)

Henry Lawson

Here is something awful! A tsunami could wipe this Norwegian town off the map. Why isn’t everyone leaving ? Press on this if you want to read more.

Ludovic Einaudi Elegy for the Artic. Press here if you would like to listen to this pianist playing in an unusual , challenging place.

It has been a long day and thank you for letting me share it a little with you.

Take care.
