EDITORS COMMENTS
Norway, the land of fjords and mountains, is a winter wonderland that comes alive under the mid-winter sun. This photograph transports us to a sun-soaked valley in Norway, where the winter sun casts a golden glow on the snow-covered landscape. The image showcases the rich heritage of skiing in Norway, a tradition that dates back to the pre-historic times. Long before there was such a thing as a winter-sports season, men and women in Norway relied on skis to travel in the winter months. The photograph captures the essence of this tradition with ski hikers making their way up the valley, their skis glinting in the sunlight. The rugged terrain and the rocky peak of Romsdalshorn in the background serve as a reminder of the challenging yet beautiful environment that these intrepid individuals navigated. Norway's high mountain valleys were once inaccessible during the winter months, but the invention of the ski allowed people to traverse them, opening up new opportunities for exploration and survival. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Norwegian people and their deep connection to the land. Taken in the 1930s, this photograph captures a moment in time when the world was still discovering the joys of winter sports. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of being outdoors, of the beauty of nature, and of the resilience of the human spirit. Whether you're an avid skier or just someone who appreciates the beauty of a snow-covered landscape, this photograph is sure to inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world.
