Towards the glacier

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

To Tom, and others who may take an interest. I know that the grass appears as over the top green, but the texture and the colour of the grass is quite different from anywhere else in the world above the arctic circle and very different also from south in Norway. The inland waters up there are also crystal blue and at times and places, very turquoise green, due to its temperature. Here is a picture that should examplify this. I sincerely hope that I'm not appearing in a patronizing way, that is not the intention.

You most certainly are not Ivar and this is a wonderful scene. And such wonderful clarity too. Thanks.

On this picture Ivar I think the greens look absolutely fine. It is a fine landscape shot and the freshness and purity of the environment comes over very strongly. Indeed you are not being patronizing at all Ivar; it is actually interesting to hear about the changes from North to South.

Thank you Tom. As a matter of fact, the difference in nature, texture and even people is remarkable even to me being a Norseman. The summer is filled with light and sadly the winters are very dark and they have very little light during daytime, if at all.
