France - Paris - from the top of Montparnasse tower

"There are cities that remain “inside you”, suspended between nostalgia and desire. There are roads, alleys, palaces, and sun beams that “hit” you traitorously. Smells of flowers and cut grass, little bells of schools....
There are bars, equal and various, that return into your mind every time and every time you order the same ice-cream, the same milkshake, the same croissant, the same coffee. Dreams, hopes, illusions and songs, broken hearts, cities left with pain aware that they don’t belong to you , but you do belong to them......and this is an endless love that remains suspended in between your skin and your heart." Otilia

Oppdal - Norway: April 2008

This shot was taken on my way back from Oppdal to Trondheim in central Norway. There were numerous signs just like this one along the way - however, no Moose of Deer could be seen...

During my visit to Norway I found out about the Sami, an ancient people with their own language and culture (including an original form of singing known as the "Joik"). The Sami live, mostly, in current day Norway (also some parts of western Sweden) and depend on their domesticated reindeer. Each year the Sami migrate with their herd hundreds of miles to ancestral reindeer breeding grounds at lower altitudes nearer the fjords.
