Post Age 12 Published August 7, 2020 by Madeline Kline

The alley was deserted when the man came with a camera to snap a picture. The flash startled everything there scaring the rodents back into their holes, and causing the birds to flutter up into the air.

NORWAY Country: Norway Capital: Oslo Main Language Spoken: Norwegian Currency: Kroner I am at a total loss of of how to pen down my thoughts on Norway, renowned for so many things: the ethereal northern lights, trolls and Vikings, its deep calm fjords, and the glowing midnight sun.
