From a strange planet - 39

Today we explore the region of Trøndelag between Oslo and Trondheim.

We follow the E6.

We explore by day and by night.

We visit all the seasons.

From a strange planet - 38

More explorations around the traffic webcams. 

The landscape is always beautiful.

Virtual travel is satisfying.

E39 Øysand - Google streetview

The house in the background from close by.

On one side is flat horse country.

Identical trees everywhere. The highway is in the background.

On the other side are muddy trails through the woods.

Maybe this is the one and only time someone will see this image from Google.

How many places stay unvisited forever in their databases?

E6 Horg - Google streetview

The perspective of the camera shows a busy road with houses close together.

But on the ground the houses are dispersed, with lots of space in between.

It's a beautiful hilly landscape.

Once again there is a church in the neighbourhood of the camera.

In winter you can see the church tower from the other side of the river.

Old sheds in the countryside.

Rv. 3 Litjfossen - Google streetview

The beautiful river is invisible on the webcam.

The nice reservoir is also not visible. Sunrise.

There are uninhabited islands in the stream. And autumn light.

Rv. 3 Kvikneskogen - Google Streetview

The Orkla river and birch trees.

Farms and low mountains on the other side. Kaltberget, Eidsfjellet.

Estensmo bru.

Autumn sculptures.

Green landscape carpet.

From a strange planet - 37

I've been taking walks around the camera locations. I've seen many nice places and I hope you like them too.

This time the motto comes from a long lost website that contained many autobiographical gems written by an anonymous author. I found it fascinating and I miss it:

When I was 15 there was a cone of light emitting from a mountain near our house. I playfully called the light “Giant” with a hard G. I used to talk to it, much as one would talk to a dog.

I'm a huge fan of these lonely Norwegian houses. They come with stories.

I don't know what stories. I'm not good enough to write them.

The anonymous internet author is much better than I:

I can’t recall how this came about, but I discovered that Giant granted prayers of a particular sort. I could ask for anyone I wanted to show up the next weekend at the Hollyburn Skating club. It always worked. I decided to give it a tougher test and ask Ann M. to show up. She did not belong to the club. Lo and behold she showed up, a guest of someone else.

Giant did not talk, but his presence was warm and comforting.

The cone may have had some quite ordinary explanation, but just too faint for my friends to see. It might have been an artifact of my glasses. The appearances might have been probable anyway. However, it remains a slight anomaly I don’t feel fully comfortable dismissing.

E14 Meådal - Google streetview

A beautiful river.

With an inviting bridge. A place to meditate.

With an Andy Goldsworthy artwork in the water.

And another inviting bridge.

E6 Malvik - Google streetview

This is the hill with the roadworks.

And fields in the neighbourhood.

What a great place for autumn walks.

It reminds me of this LP cover.

I liked the landscape even more than the music.
