Wealthy industrialists (and goat) in Telemark, Norway, 1907

When the ski slope puts up signs that it's forbidden to ski down the ski lift run, and om the same time puts up protection on the ski lift poles for people skiing am I curious if they really wants us to ski there or not.

Foggy glasses is amongst the worst things to get whilst skiing.

Today's is one of my two favourite days at work during the year, the winter activity day. We get to spend the day outdoors doing winter activities such as Telemark skiing ⛷️

The other day is the summer activity day which is the same with summer sports.

First time the camera in my iPhone takes a photo on its own!
Discovered this snap when I looked through the photo archive later that day.
I had no idea it could do this, but I guess this can happen on an «Apple-thing» when in late November you're out on the wild and icy roads in Telemark.
Still: I put my logo on it for the outtake.

🇸🇯Første gang kaperaet i min iPhone knipser et foto på egenhånd!
Oppdaget da jeg senere på dagen kikket i fotoarkivet.
Ante ikke at slikt gikk an, men sånt kan vel skje på en «Appleting» når man er ute på ville veier sent i november i Telemark.
Vannmerke likevel, for utsnittet 🤣

Early winter's catch from the pollarding tree in Flatdal, everything I could wish for, now ready for the workshop in Skien this winter of 2025/26.

🇸🇯Tidligvinterens fangst fra styvingstreet i Flatdal, alt jeg kunne begjære, er nå klar for verkstedet i Skien vinteren 2025/26.

Polarding tree opens up

Photo series – continued https://snabelen.no/@frierbyen/115577884863540807

I took out a middle section – It looked exciting as a blank for å serving dish.
This is why: Once upon a time, the people on the farm stopped harvesting this branch right here. Maybe the polarding continued higher up, maybe not.

In my blank, the end of the polarding time became visible. How long ago? I leave it to others to count the growth rings.

Styvingstre åpner seg

Billedserie – fortsettelse https://snabelen.no/@frierbyen/115577884863540807

Fra en av de store greinene over rotstokken tok jeg ut et midtparti med mye liv i.
Det så spennende ut som fatemne.

Etter noen runder i benken skjønte jeg hvorfor.
En gang for lenge siden stoppet folkene på gården å høste denne greina akkurat her.
Treet sto midt på tunet og ble med tida et tuntre.
Kanskje fortsatte styvingen høyere opp, kanskje ikke.

I mitt fatemne var det slutten på styvinga som kom til syne.
Hvor lenge siden dette kan ha vært er et enkelt forskningsprosjekt.
Jeg overlater til andre å telle årringene utenfor den gamle styvingsknuten.
