Green Roofs

Recently, back in Canada, I have noticed an increased interest in green roofs. Well..... green roofs are old hat in Norway.... even the mailboxes and garbage bins have them!






This is actually a 'room' in a hotel in the town of Saebo. The hotel was the chosen sight of a rather last minute (one week in preparation) 'family gathering' - sort of in our honour. Over 50 relatives came! I was touched - to put it lightly.


These are very old huts that were used by women who came to these high mountain pastures in the summers with their cows. They are designed in such a way as to (hopefully and usually) survive avalanches and landslides.
