Visiting Ona….

August 12, 2008 · 2 Comments

…Karen and Ansgar spent the day visiting Ona. This tiny little island at the northwest coast of Norway where Karen was born and raised. There is no roads and no cars on this island, but people still have their home out here. A few years ago you could buy a house for less then nothing, today you need a lot of hard cash. It is a beautiful place in still weather, but I am sure you can feel the storm out here.

 On the highest point on the island you can see the lighthouse that still make sure the ships are sailing safely through the storms.

 The seabirds is not the minority on this island…

Walking the beach, happy memories?

The streets are so cute…while walking between the houses you can find out what everyone have for dinner. i can not imagine how it was growing up out here. And Karen, being the silent type of person, do not talk so much about that.
