The evening hours at the edge of the fjord were quiet and serene. Purple shadows enclosed the blue melt water from the remnants of the glacier’s summer activity. We had a bonfire on the beach and the yellows and oranges punctuated the shadows with flashes of color. The memories inspired the color choices for this contemporary rosemaling idea in the Telemark style.
