Midtvesten Festen 2022
A beautiful green valley on the middle of the west coast of Norway. An old tractor barn turned into a stage, the field cleared for an audience. Rain pouring, music playing, waffle eating, dancing in the field, morning swims in the lake brimming with summer rain. Gnats feasting on our happy veins.
