Exciting News, Ancient Forests & Van Building Update | #38 Life in Norway

[@serenityking4668]

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun” Supertramp

Magically beautiful landscapes and seasons that you capture so imaginatively on film and Joachim so impressively on his art pieces. Wishing you continued happiness, also with the new canine family member. Your videos take me to a peaceful place and highlight that Norway is somewhere I must explore.

[@annastayziaa]

congratulations 🥰🥰🥰🥰 what an exciting time for you all❤❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccamercer4160]

Leena, you are a beautiful person and who seems to have a heart of gold ! Your videos are inspiring! You and your better half take care! Be careful g to Germany! God bless you dear!

[@annabrzychcy8426]

I am very late top your video this time, but just wanted to say that I love the idea of even more "limited edition" of Joachim's work. Every piece is obviously already unique, but the new shapes are amazing with his art. And I am amazed of how skilled craftswoman you are! The van renovation is very satisfying to watch 💚

[@sounds.for.introverts]

Joaquim's work is beautiful. Such a talented artist. Always smily and zen. Keep up with the inspiring work, both of you ❤

[@LeenaHenningsen]

[@libellenflug11]

Das mit dem Urwald hat mich sehr berührt. Als Du davon gesprochen hast und Bilder dazu eingspielt, wurde ich ganz still und demütig. Dieser Wald strahlt so etwas weises und magisches aus. Auch Eure anderen Projkete finde ich spannend. Herzlichen Dank

[@gurkmeja2021]

Beautiful video - as always. I'm blown away by Joachim's artistic talent. You are both Stars 🌟🌟 Looking forward to the next video for sure! 🐕 /Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪

[@maryannknox7158]

Exquisite hand painted vases and wooden items spectacular

[@cherylperron8938]

Hello from USA, Michigan, I grew up in the forest. Yes, it’s life is all around you, see, touch, smell… from the trees, to the moss, fungi, to animal homes and their food stores.. the peacefulness and beauty you have captured in your beautiful paintings and choices of artifacts to bring new life, just like the forest. Amazingly beautiful work art work. Just love them all. Peace be with you

[@DianneC8287]

I love Joachim’s artwork! I’d love a glass and a mug should I be able to afford them one day! Your talent for story telling and photography is awesome! I instantly relax when watching your videos. I wonder how so much beauty can be captured in one video❤ I also love how you too are such a team.

[@lareverie8285]

I feel a strange happiness in autumn, is like the anticipation for something that never arrives but the feeling is the same every year

[@donnie.clemmons]

Hello from the Bluegrass State. Great video, thanks for sharing, safe travels and warm wishes as the season changes.

[@janinafisher101]

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you have snow there already. When I lived in Norway - a lot farther north than you - we only got snow on top of the mountains in the middle of October. And this was over 5 decades ago! And my cousin also just said that they just got some snow on the mountains up in that area this year. Joachim does lovely painting! How lovely to paint on these older items. Here where I live in Canada we had summer weather - 30C - up until last week! A little crazy. Then it suddenly turned cold on Sunday. It was lovely to see the ancient forest with all the rocks. What an amazing place. I see the person below me (@domihake) also lives in a forest in Canada, like me!

[@jessicawinstone8331]

Love the brick boxes with the little painted doors for holding something special or maybe the doorway to the abyss? Haha... magical. Leena always look forward to your videos, your scenes always seem to fold seamlessly one into the other. So lovely to see you both thriving in your winter wonderland.

[@mtjensen5]

Joachim is so talented. I loved all his thing’s especially the 3rd box from your right. Beautiful painting. Good luck with your new dog. I hope your other dog likes having a friend.

[@plotwhisperer5502]

Hello from Northern California. Thank you, Lena for sharing this beautiful nature video and more. I live in an area where I wonder what it was like, before all the buildings, the freeways and the giant stores took over the landscape, amongst the trees, the rivers and the pacific ocean. In order to just be in a quiet, I feel you have to drive further out, to truly enjoy. Anyway, thanks again Norway is just as beautiful as Sweden, I would gladly hop between the two. I wish you loves of happiness, nature exploring and abundances in life.

[@chelsearose588]

KZbin is an interesting phenomenon. I don't have Netflix so I use it sometimes to find something interesting to watch and I accidentally ran into Lenna's channel and I always come back. I love your videos Leena. They're so calming and uplifting. Enjoyed this one so much. Am in awe of your construction skills Leena and love the fact that you're taking such care and consideration in finding the right canine addition to your family. I also didn't know Joachim had a channel and after a tiring day today I sat down with sandwich and drink in hand and watched Journey to the Ancient Forests and I was SO impressed. Joachim has a wonderful speaking voice and it was like travelling with an old friend. I shall definitely be watching more of those. Also since tuning into your channel which was about a year ago I've started to develop a really deep appreciation of Norway. Much love from Australia.

[@LeenaHenningsen]

Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 Much love to Australia!

[@riekemarxen4427]

Have a safe trip and wonderful first connection with your new family member - so exciting! Kind greetings from Hamburg (better bring a rain jacket, too)❤

[@graceverssen5651]

Thank you so much, Leena, for your kind loving spirit and for how beautifully you share that with us. 🦚🦚🦚 With love and blessings from American Grace living in India.🦚🦚🦚

Feeling so warm hearted after watching your beautiful video, Leena. Thank you for it. So utterly delightful, I can hardly find the words to describe.

[@LeenaHenningsen]

That makes me so happy to hear ❤

[@aia8036]

Thank you for your videos. You inspire me to continue my journey in finding myself. What you do is making a difference, I'm sure in the lives of many besides my own.

[@JohnPaul-158]

Hi Leena and Joachim. The new collection is really lovely. Your skills at Master Painting are really coming into their own with this collection. A new WOOF WOOF for the family YAY. How exciting. That looks like snow behind you in the final section of film, Leena ?? Montreal is in the "Teens" by day. Tonight we hit our first single digit night of (7c). Temps are starting to slide down now, so we shall see how long Fall lasts for us. It is Thanksgiving Sunday here today. Hope everyone is well. Safe travels Young Lady !! BEEEEE Careful on the roads, ok !!

[@Janine6564]

Joachim, you artwork completely shines through on these beautiful pieces you painted. Amazing how talented you are. 😍 Exciting news all around for you two. Excited to see your new family member soon.

An untouched forest, that's so very magical and special!!! and what a beautiful art pieces, they're amazing you can see where the inspiration has come from for sure. Greetings from a forest in Canada!!! ❤❤

[@y.john.]

There are no untouched forests in Norway.

[@janinafisher101]

How interesting - I also live in the woods in Canada... Ontario.

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Ah Leena so good to hear your gentle voice again. Your story of the ancient forest was so moving. Have you ever thought of writing a story ? Illustrated with your beautiful photography ? Or prints of Joachim’s fairytale art pieces ? I wish you a safe trip to Germany. Get back in time before the winter comes. Much love from California ! 🙏💕🌷

[@LeenaHenningsen]

I'm glad to hear 😊 That's a lovely idea, I used to really enjoy writing. Maybe somdeday! Much love back to you ❤

[@timofromnorth3786]

I am also a big fan of old forests. There are big national parks In Finnish Lapland where you can walk days in forests without roads. Real wilderness. Great video again. Interesting to see how you bild the van. And Norwegian landscapes and towns are so beautiful!

[@caracampbell1715]

Your films are always so soul-stirring! Love the old forest footage! Excited to see your new doggie soon!❤

[@hanskosanetzky5315]

So wunderbare Bilder und deine feine Stimme führen mich wieder einmal hinaus in die so beruhigende und entspannende Natur...dieser unberührte Wald zieht mich in seinen Bann und gleichzeitig ist es so schön euren Projekten zu folgen. Ganz lieben Dank dafür ❤❤❤

[@kmilton1593]

It will be interesting to see how your van performs regarding condensation issues, and winter insulation values. Nice dog.

[@RosesDewdrop-eo2kl]

Alva has the most beautuful coloring and you have a perfect set of dogs for one another... in temperament, how they move, and interact with you... neat ❤ You may like Ottawa Valley Dog Whisperer homemade food blog. Detailed but inspirational in giving pet fresh food. Always double, triple check to find same info from different sources, but dogs can eat meat plus veggies, like rutabaga turnips. They do well to have a bit if mackerel for oil. Good to have medicine for changes in temperature, rehmania 8 for pets. Life saving before snow storm or heat wave. Farmers tend to know this stuff, and I learned after having five dogs. A few vets I have seen online agree it works, ...most dont give info you can nurse dog with pureed food using food syringe, innovet online good brand . 🕯🍁🐕 A small food processor best way to puree meat, can slow cook chicken or stew beef or do salmon shrimp. Get better attention relaxed pets. Also if can have bladder medicine on shelf good for infections. Uti free by pet alive on US ebay works fast.

Wow the ancient forest really looked sooo beautiful and magical! Thank you so much for taking us with you there. Norways nature is simply crazy.

Glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏🏻 Yeeeah, me too. They have so many treasures there! Best wishes to you too ❤

[@torrust]

Very nice art work with inspiration from old forest, that glass looked super interesting, lovely idea to give the sense of drinking water from nature. Oh yes, the first snowfall this high up is often in October, but first snow almost never stay, need to worry in November though. If winter is too long and cold, it's much milder by the coast, my childhood paradise was in same county, little north by the coast. One hour from Røros, that's inland and cold climate. Good luck with puppy, it for sure will be more family and joy. The funny thing that happened here when we got a second dog back in January, the old one became super childish, still is, now we got two teenagers, haha

[@janettebox3571]

Good to catch up with you Leena. Always enjoy your films and especially loved visiting the ancient forests and pretty town. Hope all goes well with your trip to Germany and Aviy makes friends with the new pup. ❤

(Also, you really must come here sometime. We have wonderful ancient forests).
