From a strange planet - 41

Today we drive a circle west of Trondheim, centered on the E39.

Fv. 700 Voll - Google streetview

That's not a white boulder.
It's a plastic covered ball of grass.
The wooden house of ghosts is gone now.
The road signs are still there.
On 16-10-2021 I saw that the camera view had changed.
Here it's looking this way: Google streetview.

The bare earth on the fields is beautiful.
It reminds me of "Vom gehen im Eis" by Werner Herzog.
He took a jacket, a compass and a duffel bag of the barest essentials and, wearing a pair of new boots, set off on a three-week pilgrimage from Munich to Paris through the deep chill and snowstorms of winter.

We drive north.
A featureless boring landscape.
A tedious drive.
Today the camera points here: Google streetview.
We drive further north.
We pass the bridge to the island of Hitra.

We drive by a frozen lake in 2010.
Then we drive back south to the E39.
From there we go east.

E39 Hemnekjølen - Google streetview

Grass covered wooden houses in the parking place.
A statue advertising ice cream.
We continue east.

E39 Valsøyfjord - Google streetview

A Switzerland landscape. Lake Thun. Same geology.
At Betna we leave the E39 and go south along the Fv65.

Fv. 65 Nordmarka i Surnadal - Google streetview

Here we find another "end of the road" on streetview.
Meditate a moment upon this place.
Let the calm and silence pervade you.
