Midday Muse: A Home at the Top of the World

October 24, 2007

I snapped this picture of a small mountain farm last September when I was visiting my brother in the Western fjords of Norway. It is so remote and beautiful. Sometimes I dream about living in a place this far up and away from the bustling urban world.

"The hills are alive with the sound of muuuuuusic!" hehe...that's the first thought that entered my brain when i saw this pic. Beautiful! Who cares about wi-fi and stores when you have that view outside your door???

It is amazing. I long to be in a place like this but reality is, it probably won't happen for a long while.

yeah i would love to visit and stay at times but not all the time. it would make me appreciate it more and yearn for it. and i don't know how i would like the winters.

How beautiful! I would absolutely LOVE to live there sometimes. Maybe they'd consider a house swap for parts of the year...? :P

You're all very correct--shopping and errand running has to be done very carefully. The "big" grocery store is across the fjord, which is a ferry ride away (and in the fall/winter the ferry rides aren't as frequent), not to mention driving to the ferry and to the store and back. There's a little store with a tiny amount of produce about half an hour away each way....
