As a young boy, renowned Norwegian photographer Bjornar Ovrebo
often played along the inaccessible and unknown banks of Oslo's
longest river, the Alna. Memories of this time inspired his latest
book. For four years he photographed the hidden sides of the
gloaming forestal landscape, which is often overlooked by most. His
large-format photographs convey the unique beauty found in these
mystic water meadows. The accompanying text by Torgeir Rebolledo
Pedersen, one of Norway's foremost poets, further enhances the
fascinating and wondrous river Alna - even for those who have yet
to see it for themselves. Text in English and Norwegian.
This book of humorous, philosophical, allegorical and nature-loving
poetry with its beautiful original illustrations came about through
a son's love for his mother. The poems in this book should paint
meaningful pictures in your mind. As you read them I hope you are
prompted to think deeply and explore their resonance for you, but
also to laugh out loud.
