Very nice, Cecilia! Your landscapes are in a league of it's own.

I started reading both The Hobbit and LOTR in high-school. It was something we all did in the seventies. At first I was a bit disappointed when I saw the films, but after seing them again not so long ago, I must admit that they are quite good films, even if they are mostly focused on the action parts of the books.

Being Norwegian myself, I have not failed to notice the new trend where old songs and stories are revised and re-written so that any offensive words or descriptions are no longer present. It's of course quite understandable, but at the same time I can't help thinking that we might be loosing something of our cultural history by rewriting it.


Anyway, I look forward to see your interiors.
