Linnaea borealis

[Luc Gilgemyn]

You seem to have a little paradise there Magnar !! 

If ever you are short of company... let me know... I'll be glad to oblige...  

[Ragged Robin]

Magnar, what an idyllic spot - how on earth did you build your cabin there?  It looks as if it was left high and dry as the water receded, like Noah's Ark 

Your views are wonderful, so calming.....what a place to hide away in 

[maggiepie]

Thanks for the pics, Magnar.
No wonder you are smiling in your pic, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.

[Lesley Cox]

Paradise indeed - in the summer

beautiful spot--looks COLD!  and i can say that, because we also had snow in may this year (err--more than usual

[Magnar]

We live 200 km north of the arctic circle, so snow in the mountains in May is normal.

certainly.... here too, in the mountains the snow lasts much longer than may! the other day they had -3C in banff, alberta, and that is farther south..
we usually have at least one significant snowstorm in may, sometimes more than one, and often near the end of the month...
this year we still had snow from winter on the ground in shady places into may..
the ocean really makes a difference for you, though--so far north and only -15C! thats a temperature for spring and fall, here!

[Magnar]

I live only 1 min walk from the shore, and the fjord is never frozen. But when yuo come in the inland it is often 10 to 15 degrees colder during winter.

I have thought about it but it is a LOOOONG drive 
Thanks anyway

Land of the midnight sun, indeed!!  Much blacker here at midnight. 

I thought about the drive too, but I'd likely drown on the way.   Rather expensive flight too, for coffee and waffles!

...but the offer of coffee and waffles in a place like Magnar's hideaway is veeeeeery tempting Paul - how about submarine?

[maggiepie]

Magnar, the waffles sound tempting.
Do you have a generator?
If not, what do you use for lights and cooking etc?

Solar cell for light and propan for cooking

I once saw a hollow tree stump that was entirely filled with
Linnaea in bloom, and they were scented.  I had never noticed
this before when I had seen them in small patches in the open, but
the outer rim of the stump kept the scent from dissipating.
