During their explorations and tours of the MEMORIA NORWAY project, SpringerParker will update the Logbook on a regular basis. It documents their route and events in forms of on location photos and descriptions sent directly via the mobile phone to this website. Clicking at the geographical data to the left of the entries lets you follow their route on the map.

Take that


And here comes the snow again.


Jigsaw Puzzle


They are floating into nothingness, like the remaining pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle.


From a distance


From a distance it's like driving towards a set that someone just built and painted on the horizon.


House by the fjord


This is again one of these places that look like straight out of a picture book. We are wondering how it might be living there and if they have a good life. Everything appears to be perfect in a way.


Suddenly


Suddenly the temperature drops notably by a few degrees and everything around turns to white.


To fish or to farm


When it comes to the topic of fish farms, the temper among people we are talking to easily rises high. For several reasons. The salmons in the farms are not as healthy as the wild ones, due to their living and feeding conditions. They spend their life in huge nets, from which they sometimes escape if they prefer a nice fjord or river instead. They mix and of course mate with the wild salmon and this way can transfer diseases and viruses to them and to next generations. There is one particular deadly (for the fish) virus already spreading, which if the worst comes to worst, might become a reason for a forced erasure of all life (not only the salmon) in a river to "restart" it afterwards by putting out already stored healthy salmon eggs. Ten years is the estimated time for such a procedure. Along the huge Norwegian salmon rivers, there are hundreds of peoples existences depending on the wild salmons, in one or the other way. The currently appointed Fisheries Minister of Norway is co-owner of a salmon farming company.


Shades of grey


Like in the old movies, you know ...


Just fog


This looks more threatening than it is, if the fjord is not frozen there is often fog forming over the water.


Hard time


The sun has a hard time coming through. It's about -17 degrees C.
