Tage Erlander was of Forest Finn origin. He was Swedish Prime Minister 1946-69. As earlier written, no Prime Minister in any democratic country has had a longer tenure than his 23 years.

Here's some photos from the life of Tage and his wife Aina. Aina was a school teacher. She was teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry and loved by the children.

Piilukirves: Below you see the old sort of carving axe used to make the wood surface smooth to improve the weather resistance.

Slash & Burn


The 2017 Leica Oskar Barnack Award goes to Terje Abusdal. Born in Norway, Terje Abusdal is honoured with this prestigious photography prize for „Slash & Burn“ and receives 25,000 euros and a Leica M camera and lens.

Tradition and mysticism, provenance and belonging, facts and fiction: Terje Abusdal’s long-term “Slash & Burn” project draws a picture both mysterious and impressive of the Forest Finns, an ethnic group in Norway who live in close touch with nature.

I love this thread. Never had a look before, for some unknown reason. Until today I'd never seen Olav H. Hauge's poetry - it is wonderful, and I learned more than I knew before about Yule...and 20th century history...just so much here. Thanks to all posters.

That was nice. Takk! Just this week I've been looking at AirBnb in Lofoten!
Not a lot of places on offer. :-( Can't decide where I want to go either. :-/
