THE LIGHT RETURNS | #20 Life in Norway

[@izabelakaer9922]

0% nudity, 0% bad words, 100% of talent, sensitivity, heart, soul and love. I'm amazed by your channel, and by you both. Thank you for sharing your life.

[@joellechiara]

:). She did say "schieße" (scheisse) but alles gut... :)

[@estherhendriks45]

So True Izabela.

[@IlariaFevola]

and she's so humble and sweet! I love Lena's videos.

[@michal.mrozek]

Nudity in this temperature? No way ;-)

[@izabelakaer9922]

@@michal.mrozek Yes :) ! Have seen another channel about living in the North of Sweden, there were swimsuit photos on a snowmobile just last week. Unsubscribed. Forced nudity is not exactly what I'm expecting from that type of channels. And to be almost naked by -30 you need to be determined to show yourself off ;)

[@miramarity2270]

I cried all over this little movie. That was the most touching so far. The life you present is so painfully beautiful.... I live very differently now, among toxic people, in a depressed environment, with complete abdication... But as I see how you live, hope begins to flicker in me ... Thank you for these wonderful moments! Big hug - mira, from Hungary

[@LeenaHenningsen]

❤️❤️❤️thank you so much! i'm so sorry to hear and i wish you all the happiness in the world - you deserve it! big hug back to you.

[@solsin9386]

Hi mira, I kinda face same situation too except education.. Education is very important for me and family but I live in toxic environment too.. Can I ask where are u from

[@tomtombird2329]

You have catched wonderful moments with your camera ! Leena is a real artist & filmmaker. Thanks a lot ;-))

[@LeenaHenningsen]

thank you! 😊

[@KreaBySarah]

The time where you throw water up in the Air 😍😍😍😍😍

[@evytimblin3269]

I am so glad that you two are together, creating memories together. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@MayoUtuk]

Happiness can only come from within, your videos helped me see that, The warmth and calm of your videos helped me see life in a new perspective.Thank you for existing 🌿

[@Kenpassion]

Eyes got watery as usual, and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face throughout the video. It’s amazing how you’re able to take something as commonplace as photons hitting a camera sensor, and transform it into something beautiful that resonates with people on such a deep emotional level. Love the stars at the end!! They must be great where you live.

[@tinac3094]

You are a phenomenal film maker, Leena. The part when you raised your hands in the air and threw the snow into the air took my breath away and filled my eyes with tears of joy. God bless you both, as you celebrate the return of the light. Xxx

[@אליאלבן-דן]

She threw water into the air, not snow. It’s so cold that it freezes instantly.

[@tinac3094]

Of course, how silly of me. Thank you for correcting me. It's a beautiful moment, isn't it? :)

[@tonjeindseth5745]

Thank You For Being & Sharing 🤗🙏💗

[@mfnannygram]

Amazing capture of the shooting stars! Gorgeous videography, music, and storytelling... thank you!

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Leena and Joachim. This was one of the most beautiful videos you've ever done. We have the sun effect here as well. We live in a high-rise, and during the winter as the sun swings around the building from East to West, we look west, usually from 11am till sunset, we get direct sun. In the winter though, the sun is lower on the horizon and disappears behind the tall buildings in our west view for most of the winter, now from around noon till sunset, it s hidden from directly hitting our windows. The sun is beginning to rise higher now like it does over your valley and to your cabin. Can't wait to see the lanterns, they are beautiful. Nice to see you as always. Greetings from Montreal.

[@LeenaHenningsen]

thank you so much, jeremy! best wishes from both of us 😊

[@agnesgabriele6502]

I am currently struggling with severe depression, but this video calmed me and gave me some peace in these difficult times. Thank you so so much. Greetings from Berlin ❤❤❤

[@rebeccaroderick7826]

Sending you a big hug from England 🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️

[@the_light_writer]

Sending another big hug from Washington state, USA!

[@SarbiraPreece]

2:05 was magic ...I had to play it twice!

[@malatipanga6316]

The video has been made very aesthetically! You have beautifully captured the pristine beauty as well as the challenges of such freezing winters. Back here in India, the sun rises every morning and we take it so much for granted.

[@stefanexplores]

Yeah I live 63 degrees north in your neighboring country! Feels amazing when the light returns this time of year :)

[@owkaro]

Wow, what a night sky! It's unreal. And Aivy is just the cutest, you can almost see her thinking: "I see your hand is quite unoccupied on the arm rest; clearly you could make better use of it by petting me" 😊

[@annakonrad3066]

I was so excited when I saw you uploaded a new video! And it's just beautiful. Your art always touches my heart. Thank you for that!

[@LeenaHenningsen]

i'm so glad, thank you! ❤️✨

[@filmhundtia9896]

Wunderschönes Video! Absolut großartig was du da zauberst. Und auch die Kunst von deinem Freund ist so voll von Liebe, wie auch deine Stimme...❤️❤️❤️😘

[@onfireforjesus8374]

I always love your videos! I am 63 years old and love to be on an adventure with you both in your part of the world. I also loved the video on your friend the painter 🎨. You both are so sweet and grounded with nature. I always love the adventures of the next video. It brings joy and a sense of peace to me since I don't get to get out much. I am so happy that you both found each other and make things work. That means a lot! June from USA, Missouri

[@e.s.20]

Liebe Leena, wie immer begeistert und erfreut es mich deine Videos zu sehen. Jedesmal bekomme ich diese tiefe Fernweh nach Norwegen. In Hemsedal war ich sogar einmal vor Jahren. Wir habe hier in Norddeutschland auch etwas Schnee und kälte. Vom Schulstress geplagt habe ich mir aber Zeit genommen deine Videos anzuschauen. Ich konnte für einen Moment abschalten und träumen, danke 🇧🇻❤❄❣. Danke das du uns durch deine Kameralinse Norwegen ein Stück näher bringst! Genieße die neu gewordenen Sonnenstunden. Ich freue mich schon auf dein nächstes Video. Alles liebe Esther.

[@richardsayer1533]

Beautiful....14 minutes of relaxing visual and audio therapy 😍

[@hanskosanetzky5315]

Und wieder einmal ein wunderbares Video, in dem du uns die Schöheit der kleinen und unendlichen Details der Natur so nahe bringst ...danke

[@amparoveterinaria]

The dark sky is outbreaking. Stars are amazing. 🌟

[@drewtube5031]

I hope the two of you have a long life together. Love is the answer, and you know that for sure. 👍

[@barrywatler7482]

Such a harsh environment but beautiful all the same, we have no clue of what you need to do just to get groceries, I lived in the UK we had snow but nothing like you get, and now living in a subtropical climate we rarely see a frost, the lanterns are just so amazing, thank you for sharing🙏 stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🌞

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thanks for sharing your day with us throwing water in the air was beautiful💜

[@kseniab8187]

The sky full of stars in the end of the video is absolutely amazing

[@CG-on9jv]

Omg within the first minute, I have goosebumps 🙏❤️

[@janettebox3571]

A large sigh of pleasure, and a period of calm, are always what I experience from your films of life in beautiful Norway. Thank you Leena.

[@donnamariecommissionartwor5267]

amazing filmmaking!! WOW! tears falling...thank you for making these video's..i feel as you..the light is my joy and inspiration :)

[@zainulabideen9464]

Made my day lady, as always. Each and everything about your video (shots, music, editing) is more than perfect. Lots of love from Pakistan.

[@LDDiscovery3]

Leena, a beautiful piece of work this is!

[@eltonsalvador7620]

Norway, Sweden & Finland all are the best places to go and visit, I plan on retiring in Finland in the future

[@mryinthemirror]

Your shots were breathtaking, literally... got me thinking on how magical simple moments might be, whether you just pay attention to the life around. Thanks for the great work :)

[@earthitswhispers]

Leena, i can not even begin to express how delighted i am with your attention to the details in your videos. Everythig: music, scenery, colors, words make like a little dance together! The throwing snow in this particular video is just magnificent ;) Thank you for that - i so enjoy watching you both ;) keep living your true life and everything else what you need will just join and dance along 💃

[@melodyk836]

Sublime, beautiful and delicate emotions are awakened through your visual storytelling. Your gift is to impart the delicacy, beauty and inner silence of your soul to the viewers soul. In gratitude and love 💜

[@delciagarcia8287]

Simply amazing! Your talent for photography is astonishing! Can’t wait to get my newsletter announcing the new items. Keep shinning!!!!

[@LeenaHenningsen]

thank you so much! 🤗

[@thelifestyleguru926]

you are calming and refreshing! both of u such independent, patient and true souls. thank YOU!

[@mick68]

Hello Leena. I came across your work on youtube by recommendation. We visited Norway for the first time last year travelling up and down the coast in winter on one of the Hurtigruten vessels and we were just blown away by the beauty of what we saw and by the friendly interactions we had with many people. Anyway we watched episode 21 together and really loved what we saw, so much so that after subscribing we watched more episodes one after the other until sleepiness took its toll on our elderly frames!! Your photography is splendid, your dog is lovely (we've got a couple at home, our 6th and 7th as it happens and they have all been special in their own way) and you two seem well suited and well tuned into each other, an atmosphere of calm and gentle affection underpinning everything. Best wishes from England and we will take a more detailed look at your artwork soon. Michael and Julie XX

[@miracleshappen4483]

Your lanterns are very very beautiful! 👍🤗💖

[@bettyrollins7236]

Love your videos because of your heart, love, and soul. So peaceful. So heart warming. A bright spot in such a dark world. Thank you for your life with us.

[@heidividegar6341]

Leena, I feel like there is something hauntingly beautiful about your videos. I almost feel like I'm watching an enchanted life of long ago if that makes any sense. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@theartopium9980]

This is truly a therapy ☺️☺️☺️

[@jojob-s942]

Hi Leena! I love your videos and your story! We travelled in Norway two years ago and I just loved the mountains and scenery there. PS: Don't burn wood which hasn't dried. It should dry some months under a roof or indoors, preferably during the summer, before you burn it. This is also better for the climate. Buy wood to burn, until yours has dried. Greetings from Finland.... :)

[@PaulaSand]

So beautiful images! This video is a wonderful poetry, made with sensibility, love and art!

[@leifman27]

Wow, the lantern at 6:08, so beautiful. Your videos are so serene and peaceful, keep up the amazing work, I really enjoy them (and my candle glass :)

[@marismellur9928]

Well done guys! Simply beautiful ❄️💜❄️ And can we just agree that Joachim seems like such a nice guy - both of you of course! 🙌😌

[@fionalomas7038]

Utterly stunning. My heart sings with your beautiful cinematography. I thank you, Leena. I have now found Kaina too, a further blessing. Thank you.

[@jolleen4ever]

Hello Leena, I just wanted to say that your story is very inspiring and I can relate at some points. I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to fit in, to silence the little voice in my head telling me that what I was doing was not making me happy but recently I realised this was not healthy to live like that and I changed my mental. I started to listen to myself which actually feels much better. When borders will be open again, I'll jump into a plane for Norway because I've been wanting to visit it for so long but never had the occasion to. I feel like it's a peaceful country, and it looks so beautiful ❤️ Thank you very much for sharing your experience, and all these wonderful photos/videos of Norway. Take care xox

[@winterfern4881]

Very beautiful video as always. Can't wait to see more of his lanterns!

[@safe-keeper1042]

Our house is by the foot of a mountain, and so for the winter months we get no sun. When the sun finally clears the mountain and shines on our house again, it's such a great feeling. The upside is that we have lots of sun in the summer, of course :) .

[@LacasitadeKathy]

Is amazing when you throw water up in the air 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋😀

[@adamhilyer2504]

Can you get some outdoor lights likes string of bulbs around the windows or along the house wall so it looks light outdoors. Or a driveway light? Maybe need an outdoor plug.

[@oliveappleby8672]

This may have been suggested....put a large tarpaulin/cover over your car to keep it free of snow, so much less shovelling to do. Another awesome, serene, calming vlog. Thank you. Love and joy. Olive❄️🌨💖💋

[@GoneWanderingWild]

Love the new video and love that the days are getting longer! We actually have blue skies here in Michigan today!

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

Considering your car has front wheel drive, it struggles to drive up hill on snow even witch chains because there is not enough weight on the front wheels. Driving up the hill backwards puts more weight on the front wheels and makes it easier to get up the hill without the wheels spinning. We did this in Austria to get to our cabin which was at the end of a steep hill. Good idea to use a light indoors during the dark winter time. Philips made a Bright Light Energy light that emits bright white light (whiter that the building light you used) that helps against winter depression and helps the body to produce more melatonin so you sleep better at night. You can't buy them new anymore but I saw some second hand on eBay. It helped me a lot.

[@chuckwavra8832]

Beautiful video! I especially enjoyed the shot of the night sky. I live in a large city, so I'm never able to see the stars in that way - thank you. Enjoy your day!

[@theQuietRebel]

I always love watching your magical videos, but there was something a little different about this one somehow. It seemed a bit more personal, relaxed, real, recognisable. I love seeing fragments of your daily life. The natural frustration you feel and the little struggles you overcome. It reminds me that that's a part of life and doesn't only happen to me. It helps to feel less alone. Sending you much love!

[@LeenaHenningsen]

yeah, you might be right! could be because i'm finally starting to be a little bit more relaxed in front of the camera. 😊 thank you. ❤️
