Norway

Lofty mountains peak over sprawling cityscape as ships glide quietly into port. Dark mountain tunnels lead to breathtaking landscapes of crystal clear waters sitting perfectly still at mountain's edge. Spruce reach toward heaven on snow capped ridges; nestled back on foothill paths lie small hillside farms and cottages in peaceful provincial towns. Trees rustle gently in the breeze as soft rains and billowing clouds roll down rocky mountain sides. The quiet bleating of sheep and the sounds of waterfalls inspire rest, while the kindness of a stranger encourages the soul of a weary traveler.

In all this a blessing and a gift, but forget not the gift giver, our God, the unparalleled artist. For all his creation, that which we see and that which we are, declare His glory and proclaim His work! (Psalms 19:1)
