Glad to Be Back in Viking Waters
July 2010 was the last time I visited these remarkable waters. The allure and charm remain. Glad to be back.
The Call
Some Waters Remember You
“July 2010 was the last visit I made to these amazing Viking waters. They still have the allure and charm. Glad to be back.”
The Return
The Place Changed. The Feeling Did Not.
Returning to Norway is not repetition. It is comparison. The coastline is familiar, but the observer is older. The water has not forgotten its scale, silence, or power.
Field Evidence
Three Frames from the Return
The Waterline
Back where the sea, sky, and mountain negotiate the horizon.
The Observer Returns
The landscape is familiar. The person looking at it is not.
The Ship and the Fjord
Human scale measured against northern water and stone.
The Elixir
Return Is Its Own Kind of Discovery
The first voyage shows you the place. The return voyage shows you what the place did to you.
