I must let you down on the relations, but I do believe I know the farm you are talking about. I grew up about two km east of Gran "City". It is a small word ;-)
Now I live at the opposite part of Norway, in a fjord, at a small community called Nordfjordeid. I had a little look at some other of your photos. I really like this one http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=174120 The low pitched colours and the light, and the story the picture tells. A very intimate portrait. This one is another winner, simple and effective, brings back my own childhood http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=116345 In about a month I will go to my father. If I can find the time, I could try to look up the stone your kid is standing at. If I succeed finding it, and the light is good, I could come up with something completely different than your picture. My mind is already ticking with some ideas, not brilliant ideas, but ideas... That would be real fun :-) Tim Another Norwegian. Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C.

The next thing we´ll find is that you are related to my wife. Her family comes from the Ringdalen farm just west of Gran. They still have a house there but another family took over the farm (as well as the name) a couple of generations ago. The rest of you now see just how small a country with a population of 4 millions is. You find connections and relatives everywhere.
