From a strange planet - 28

A long trip along Norwegian traffic webcams - "eine Bildbeschreibung". 

We are in the county of Agder. The name Agder is older than the Norwegian language. Its meaning is not known. Neither is the meaning of the webcams.

We start from Kristiansand and go North-East along the E39. Very soon it becomes the E18 but still points North-East. We are now in Vestvold or Telemark. We drive along the Oslo fjord. We take the side roads too. Then we return along the E134 end finish at Hovden. We have been there before.

At night there are monsters and ghosts.
During the day there's a painting by Turner.

A row of trees. A row of lights.

There's a closed building with darkness inside.
A sign points to the building.
At night everything disappears,
and there's just a lonely light in whiteness and darkness.
No sign, no direction.
Dark trees on the right. They look impenetrable.
But then the snow lightens the dark background. And there are rocks.
There is no behind, behind the trees.
There is a round object on the left. A UFO.
It is always there. It hides something.
But the cubic object is, and stays  in view.
A road goes into the trees at right. There is house.
At night a small light shines down there.
There are two boxes on the left. Day and night are the same here.
The road goes somewhere.
The trees are the masters here. The road is barely tolerated.
Not many cars drive here. No one is interested to go from here to there.
This road will be covered by weeds soon. Seedlings will sprout.
The trees are closing in. Darkness will fall. 
First snow. Box on the left, night lights on the right.
Cable crossing the road.
Lampposts fighting with the trees. Barely holding their ground.
Boring highway. Beautiful sign.
Yellow arrows pointing into the rocks.
Tree bark looks like poplar.
Total darkness at night.
The cable and the white fields.
At first the snow is transparent.
Later it thickens and grows solid and graphic.
Lights behind the birch trees.
Reflection of the sky.
Two empty paths crossing at right angles.
No cars.
This is a Mobius strip going from nowhere to nowhere.
Underneath the bridge you're on the bridge.
That explains it.
Snow flattens the landscape.
Japanese woodcut.
Night lights in the upper left corner.
Isolated buildings thinking building thoughts.
You will be ignored.
Snow lies in the circle on the left.
The snow is illuminated.
There's a lamppost for the snow.
People drive here to see this.
It's a place of pilgrimage.
The snow has broken the trees.
Branches lie in the snow.
The road to the bridge.
The arc. The white.
The height of the snow.
The weight of the snow.
White creaking.
Everything disappears in the snow.
But the landscape grows larger.
A landscape for megaliths.
Megaliths under the snow.
The snow has overturned the landscape.
There is a sky road now.
It disappears into the grey snowy sky.
White creaking.
Snow until april.


Silence has fallen on the landscape.
The houses are asleep.
The tree curtains are drawn.
A blanket covers the road.
Traveler, look straight ahead.
Don't wake anyone.
Spring comes. Snow fades. New buildings rise.
