The "stabbur" of my great grandfather, finished 1920, is a beauty beyond compare. Originally it was ocher yellow with red tiles. I really hate to tell it's not anymore part of a rural culture, but a sub-exurban culture. All of Norway has become a suburb of the USA! This "stabbur" is the most beautiful building of all the "grenda" it's part of, representing a lost time and an unique rural culture. Straight against it stands the new pumping house mocking her beauty, like a tombstone of a lost culture. The sub-urbanization of the Norwegian countryside is a worse crime than chairman Mao's Culture Revolution in China! -Wikimedia. I do now run the one man company PermaLiv AS. I appreciate very much a payment of 250 N.Kr for my images for volunteer organizations and 500 N.Kr for commercial use. |
