This time we don't take a road trip along many webcams. Instead we take a detailed look at Fv296 Filefjell v/Varden and its surroundings. We use many open sources but mainly Google Street View.
We see three objects: 1) an electricity pylon, 2) a container and 3) a sign with a ladder. It's a mountainous terrain with sparse bushes. The rest is hidden in white mist. It looks empty and far away from everything.
But it's not that deserted if we look at a topographical map. There are many clusters of houses, inhabited and accessible by road.
On the satellite picture it doesn't look neglected. But it does look inhospitable to vegetation. Bushes, grass, nothing has an easy foothold here.
Winter is always present,
even in summer the landscape looks sparse and transparent.
Snow remains in the background.
And very deserted and mountainous. Google Streetview
This is the kind of landscape I dream about.
A small hut with a porch, from where I can see the mountain every day.
Far away and in solitude.
But there is no real solitude here.
The garbage container is a sign of life.
Local people make pilgrimages to it.
They don't make pilgrimages to the sign.
I've never seen someone climb that ladder.
I've never seen anyone just looking at the sign.
But it's beautiful, like a modern Stonehenge sigil.
People do walk here.
And they walk their dogs.
But they don't notice the sign.
At night mysterious lights appear.
Sleeping houses come awake.
I sit on the porch of my simple hut,
and wait for the lights to come on.
For just 134.231 Euro I could buy an appartment in the neighborhood.
At Nystøgovegen 500 FILEFJELL/TYINKRYSSET
It would be far from the shopping centre.
