Taken on a walk in the woods of Telemark.

My girlfriend’s dad’s wife’s family has this great place on a small island outside of Kragerø, Telemark, Norway. There was some amusement when I announced that I would bring my bike. There was even more amusement when I rode it to the highest hill on the island. I am sure you will be amused to learn that this “hill” stands a mighty fifty-five metres tall above sea level.

But the mostest amusest was I, who got to sit in silence with my bestest metal friend, as seen on this photo right here.

These people are hanging in the air to entertain the people of Porsgrunn during [pit.no](PIT – Porsgrunn International Theatre festival).

PIT is really something to look forward to, and I am sure 22-26 June this year are going to be just as full of photo opportunities as ever.

Porsgrunn is in no way a remarkable town, but the geographical location makes for a few interesting phenomena. When the weather goes from cold to warm the river releases steam which stays around in the valley.

Cold and damp days are not particularly pleasant, but every once in a while the visual aesthetics make up for it.

From our living room in the teeny, tiny village where our ambitions for a bachelors degree have taken us.

Climbing 450 height meters, sometimes on the back of your bike, sometimes the bike on your back, is worth it when this is the reward.

This view is from Bryggefjell, which lies in Bø, Telemark.

Gps track here.

Porsgrunn is full of houses, as a city is wont to be. None of them seem to be entirely straight.

Telemark has quite a few canals. This is one of the concrete blocks that watches over them.

During a detour from university -›> home I found this bridge to be interesting. As interesting as a railroad bridge can be. Which is to say; not very.
