Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 17 Norway

Terrified by the "black dog" running loose in Whitby, and not prepared to wait for Xui to collect him, our lovable rogue Roland Poland seeks sanctuary on a Norwegian trawler - destination Trondheim.

He writes to his half-brother Malcolm
Hi Malcolm,
Am working at a fish processing factory owned by my new friend
Axel Skislope.
Having fun by putting extra salt in the fish bits going for cat food -
what do you think, Malc - that should make them thirsty!

Here is the page in his travel book I have made for him.  We have included Ibsen, Grieg and The Scream, all of which have impacted on our lives at some time or another.
My postcard is made from a photograph by Peter Viscontay that has been converted to a pencil sketch and coloured with Copic Markers.  I have stamped the mountains from Stampscapes and glittered them and used the music collage from Free Vintage Digi Stamps (link in sidebar).  Thank you for all your lovely comments - I must say it is getting difficult with the narrative after 17 weeks and your support spurs me on!  Please go and look at all the lovely entries to this challenge - link on my sidebar.
