Frozen log house

From the old mining town Røros, Norway. This house, called “Pers-stuggu”, has been inhabited by working families, and the living room building with attic probably dates from the early 18th century. So, the main part of this house was built about 300 years ago! The hill behind the house is a slag heap, the leftovers from extraction of copper ore. It was 20 degrees below zero when I took this picture and a few days earlier it was below 30. Today it may seem beautiful and idyllic, but imagine how it was living here with a family 300 years ago.
