Cabins in Norway are the real deal.  They dot the landscape like tiny shrines to Thoreauvian minimalism – usually without running water, indoor plumbing, electricity, or even road access – and usually seem as relaxed and natural in the landscape as a herd of deer.  Nothing like the faux-timber monstrosities that awkwardly overpower our landscapes in the west.

Things to remember for when I build my dream cabin someday…
