In photos: A train from Oslo to Lillehammer

In Oslo I sat down. I placed by backpack at my feet and pulled my laptop out of it. I opened up and read my To Do List. I began to work on it.

The train jolted and dragged itself away. Absorbed by the tasks I had to complete I focused on my screen not the world outside that was starting to blur and change.

Some minutes later when I was due a moment of distraction, I looked outside.

I saw more than I expected.  I can't remember closing the lid of my laptop but by the time we pulled into Lillehammer station and I finally pulled my eyes away from the window it was closed and my To Do List long abandoned.
