And so, at the end of a journey....

Since coming back home, I have been trying to find a picture or set of pictures that summarize our trip. And, of course, the experience is just too diverse for that. And yet, there are a few.



Having breakfast at Erik and Helga's farm house in Nørre Alslev, a kommune in Falster, one of Denmark's major islands in the south of that country. Staying with cousins...the trip was about our families in Norge and Danmark...and about art...and about food.






And it was about history and landscapes...varied landscapes but usually with the ocean...these are maritime societies with strong farming, business and energy economies.



And it is a journey, a moving through space and time and culture, navigating places and relationships, crossing the currents of oceans and lands.

But mainly, like all journeys, it was about us...finding more about the world, our past and our present, and our place in it.
