Dear charming Bergen! Ensconced between islands and cold salt water, there is something about the light that fascinates me. Perhaps it is the steep mountainsides littered with houses, basking in warm sunset light even at high noon. Perhaps it is the heavy color and shadows, like a constant rain cloud hanging just around the corner.

Or perhaps it is the deep forests and deep blue water that cast a glow of wilderness over a stylish little town. Who knows? But I am happy to be back, if only for a day.
