From a strange planet - 36

I've been taking walks around the camera locations. I've seen many nice places and I hope you like them too. This time I omit long descriptions. But I add the words of  Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet, nr. 299. Enjoy!

Every time I go somewhere, it’s a vast journey. A train trip to Cascais tires me out as if in this short time I’d travelled through the urban and rural landscapes of four or five countries. I imagine myself living in each house I pass, each chalet, each isolated cottage whitewashed with lime and silence – happy at first, then bored, then fed up.

The same place with dramatic clouds. 

And seen from a long distance from a higher road.

Here are some scenes from the surroundings.

 It all happens in a moment, and as soon as I’ve abandoned one of these homes, I’m filled with nostalgia for the time I lived there. And so every trip I make is a painful and happy harvest of great joys, great boredoms, and countless false nostalgias. And as I pass by those houses, villas and chalets, I also live the daily lives of all their inhabitants, living them all at the same time.

The camera view looks bland.

But the camera is placed in a very photogenic place with a disused bridge.

Here are some scenes from the surroundings.

The local wooden church.

A Goldsworthy-like stone in two seasons.

 I’m the father, mother, sons, cousins, the maid and the maid’s cousin, all together and all at once, thanks to my special talent for simultaneously feeling various and sundry sensations, for simultaneously living the lives of various people – both on the outside, seeing them, and on the inside, feeling them.

The camera view shows a nice sloping field with a tree.

But the rest of the picture is less interesting.

But the surrounding landscape is worth a visit.

Whether mountains in morning snow ...

... or birch trees in autumn colours ...

... or strange climbing devices.

When the sun rises, it cuts through the mountain.

 I’ve created various personalities within. I constantly create personalities. Each of my dreams, as soon as I start dreaming it, is immediately incarnated in another person, who is then the one dreaming it, and not I. To create, I’ve destroyed myself. I’ve so externalized myself on the inside that I don’t exist there except externally. I’m the empty stage where various actors act out various plays.

In early summer there is still some snow here.

Later it melts, leaving a Martian landscape.

This is far from everywhere. In winter all is white. 

But people live here and you can park, eat and sleep here.

You can even take a boat to other mountains.

I've been taking walks around the camera locations. I've seen many nice places and I hope you like them too. This time I omit long descriptions. I just post the pictures. They're nice enough without words. Enjoy!

E6 Vensvangen - Google streetview

Several views of the "two eyed" house. Otherwise, nothing much happens here.

The stream goes under the railway. There's an old culvert I would like to explore.

A house in the woods. I dream about living there.

A nice monument along the road. I dream about sitting there in the autumn sunlight. I could not find any more information or pictures. It's not visible on the map.

A wintry bus shelter.

With nice far views over the water.

Abandoned industries.

And rustic houses in the woods.

Summer and winter trees. Martian hills.

Summer and winter houses.

 Fv. 115 Hemnes - Google maps - The webcam shows a harmonious hilly landscape. There's a pleasant horizon. The woods suggest dark narrow paths and meditative clearings. Easy walks with classic books in the backpack. German romantics. Nordic walking. On some days impressive clouds form in the sky. Quietly the grain grows in the fields.

There's a small house that's also a bus shelter. - See Thomas Ligotti. - I never saw a person waiting there. Nor did I see a parked bicycle.

There's a whiteness in the distance. A line of pixels. A conceptual artwork made by farmers. See Christo. I will sell it by NFT.

Houses shine at night. Like always. - See Igor savchenko. 4-94-22, The road to the distant forest, where a small light was twinkling from time to time last night. Look here.

At night the roadsign looks like Hallucigenia. By day it's just Fv. 115.

Fv. 169 Åserud - Google maps - Impressive emptiness throughout the year. In winter the woods are transparent and vertical. In summer they are solid and spherical. No one comes here. But then, suddenly, a square appeared on the asphalt. A new artwork by Jeroen Jongeleen .

Fv. 172 Holter - Google maps - An empty road. There is something behind the trees, but we don't know what. By day we see vague shapes. By night we sea a vague glow. There is something but it doesn't want to talk. It wants to keep its distance.

Rv. 2 Føttaskjæret - Google maps - There's a sign. And a crossroads. Go left and there's a house behind trees. Go right and there are empty woods. Very empty woods. I checked.

Fv. 24 Storsjøen - Google maps - The boat is always there when I look. There's a mountain on the other side of the lake. You could take the boat to get there. Could you walk over the ice in winter?

Fv. 181 Finsbråtan - Google maps - The snow is melting. Houses are hidden in the woods. They listen to space signals. At night they watch the satellites.

Fv. 33 Feiring - Google maps - The house is almost hidden. It looms. It attracts ghosts of autumn.
