Winter Wonderland

Lena Hoff Church

Lena, Norway during the winter time. Some pictures I took on my way home from school one day.

It is typical to have cabins way out in the country. The place where we could park our car was a few kilometers from the cabin, so we went ski-backpacking out to the cabin. It was a really fun experience because we all had headlamps on to find our way in the dark. It was just like backpacking but  only more exciting and tiresome. The cabins here usually are without electricity. It is a really peaceful place to go to get in touch with nature because you get away from technology and the city.

Going on a 10 km skitrip. 

Fact: All Norwegians are born with skiis on their feet.

I have come to the most athletic country. The majority of Norwegian Families are very sporty. Probably 95% of the population are crazy about skiing, and they do it everyday in the wintertime. Usually they ski in the evenings once they get home from work or school.
