Alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei – und so vermutlich auch die kleine Reihe, die The Hood Internet vor etwas mehr als 4 Wochen gestartet haben: beginnend mit dem Jahr 1979 haben sie die (ihrer Meinung nach) besten Songs aus 1979, 1980, 1981 und 1982 herausgesucht, zusammengemischt und dem Internet präsentiert. Mit …... mehr auf wihel.de
Wieder eine Woche rum und The Hood Internet hält weiterhin Wort: auch irgendwas um die 7 Tage nach dem letzten Video, dass wir hier hatten (und dem davor an dieser Stelle) präsentieren sie die nächste Zusammenstellung. Wir bleiben weiterhin in den 80ern, weil es nach wie vor das beste Jahrzehnt in Sachen Musik und musikalischer …... mehr auf wihel.de
In der letzten Woche hatten wir ja schon die kleine Compilation von The Hood Internet mit den „besten“ Songs (natürlich subjektive Einschätzung – muss schließlich jeder für sich selbst wissen) aus dem Jahre 1979. Bereits da gab es das hochgesteckte Versprechen, dass weitere Zusammenstellung kommen sollten und nicht nur das, dieses Mal sollten auch ... mehr auf wihel.de
Morning light in Flåm, Norway, looking off the balcony of our hotel room. (above) Morning is my favorite time of day and this particular morning we did not have to rush off to catch a train or a ferry or a bus so we could enjoy a a few leisurely hours in the village before our […]... mehr auf ingebrita.net
I’m pretty sure these pictures were along Aurlandsfjord, as I mentioned before, I’m not certain when we left Nærøyfjord and entered Aurlandsfjord… What I love about the picture above is that you can see a woman in a blue jacket peering into the window of the church. Our first glimpse of Flåm from the fjord. The Norwegian Star R... mehr auf ingebrita.net
More pictures from our ferry ride on Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord… …our traveling companions, Tim’s brother, Dan, and his wife, Fran… …yes, it was COLD!… …sheep, I think… That tiny little house (above) captured my imagination. I wonder what it would be like to live there, especially in the winter. The... mehr auf ingebrita.net
After we took our bus through the mountains we emerged in the tiny village of Gudvangen, located at the end of Nærøyfjord, which is an arm of Aurlandsfjord, which in turn, is an arm of Sognefjord. Getting off of our bus we immediately boarded our ferry for an eleven mile ride on Nærøyfjord. Nærøyfjord is named after Njord, a Norse god […]... mehr auf ingebrita.net
All forests are one. … They are all echoes of the first forest that gave birth to Mystery when the world began. ~ Charles de Lint (Pulphouse: The Hardback Magazine, Spring 1990) The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
After we got off the train at Myrdal, we got onto the Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana), “a steep railway taking you past spectacular waterfalls, in and out of snow-capped mountains and ending up by the Aurlandsfjord.” The little village of Flåm is 2838′ (865m) below Myrdal and the train ride took about an hour. There was a stop along the ... mehr auf ingebrita.net

On May 23rd we took the Bergen Railway (Bergensbanen) from Oslo (altitude 75′, 23m) to Myrdal (2,844′, 867m). The line crosses the Hardanger Plateau of Norway (Hardangervidda) at 4,058′ (1,237m) above sea level. All these pictures were taken through the window glass from the train. Some by me and some by Tim. The scenery was so [&... mehr auf ingebrita.net
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture in the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
On this day we woke up in Bergen, rented a car, and made our way out of the city to Hardangerfjord. We spent most of this day driving the length of the fjord (179 km or 111 miles) and enjoying the scenery, making a couple of stops. The first thing we spotted was this tiny … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net

You do not ask a tame seagull why it needs to disappear from time to time toward the open sea. It goes, that’s all, and it is as simple as a ray of sunshine, as normal as the blue of the sky. ~ Bernard Moitessier (The Long Way) Now that our son and daughter-in-law have … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
My mother and her parents loved to travel but were afraid of flying. During my childhood we never flew anywhere so I didn’t notice this and it somehow never came up in conversation. It didn’t even occur to me when I was 15 and my father was offered a job in Greece and my parents decided […]... mehr auf ingebrita.net
We’ve all been on this spiritual path looking for answers, and the joke is that answers are not the point at all; the point is to have a blast with the questions. The point is not to hold back from the Mystery just because there is no final understanding. Along the way, incredible understandings come … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
Late in the afternoon we left Flåm, boarding a high-speed ferry which transported us to Bergen in 5½ hours via Aurlandsfjord and Sognefjord. When we left the rain clouds seemed to be surrounding the mountains in misty ribbons. Enchanting… Again, I’m not sure exactly where we entered Sognefjord, but it is the longest and deepest fjord in... mehr auf ingebrita.net

Up and away for life! be fleet!- The frost-king ties my fumbling feet, Sings in my ears, my hands are stones, Curdles the blood to the marble bones, Tugs at the heart-strings, numbs the sense, And hems in life with narrowing fence.

My dear Ones, It has been over a month since my last Sunday’s Song.

This is another of those strangely potent places.

Thatgamecompany’s Journey is as close as it gets to having a religious experience when playing a videogame. Abzû, which will be released on August 2nd, is a spiritual successor.

One morning in Provincetown we drove out to Herring Cove Beach, where we used to spend days at the beach when the kids were small. The waves here on the bay side are more gentle than they are on the beaches facing the open Atlantic. When they got older they preferred the excitement of Race Point Beach.

An incurable early bird, on the last morning of our little weekend getaway I found myself unable to sleep and so decided to get up and read and gaze out of the sliding glass doors of our room at the Sea Shell Motel in Dennis Port on Cape Cod.

Back in May, after a long day of traveling up the north side of Hardangerfjord we ventured inland a little, up a steep valley, Måbødalen (more like a canyon!), to breathtaking Vøringfossen, a waterfall in Eidfjord. The road was full of hairpin turns and tunnels. We arrived at the Fossli Hotel just in time to … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net

One of our favorite stops on Cape Cod is Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, part of Cape Cod National Seashore. The last time we were here was in May of 2009 and we were a little startled by how much of the sand scarp had eroded away since then.

Brevik is the place in Norway I most wanted to see. My grandmother’s sea-captain great-grandfather, Ingebrigt Martinus Hansen, was born there in 1818 and emigrated to America by himself in 1836. As far as I can tell, his parents, five brothers and two sisters remained in Norway. Was he a rebellious teen? Or simply restless, […]... mehr auf ingebrita.net
Dinner is served from 7-9 p.m. at the Fossli Hotel and we were treated like royalty – my goodness everything was so fancy! I had reindeer for the first time in my life and it was delicious.

Fossen means waterfall in Norwegian. The attraction at Steindalsfossen is that one can walk under the waterfall, which was an amazing experience for me.
