Hesje II (1997)Photograph
by Tom Hanslien

Rural detail landscape showing traditional Norwegian tools for preparing hey for the winter storage.

Really enjoy delving into the archives. This will be about 27 years ago and shot on negative film on 6x4.5 medium format. It's from a nearby farm to where I used to live in Norway and they were still gathering hay in the old traditional manual way. I always enjoyed seeing the rows of grass being dried in this way in the fields (hesje) so wanted to take a few images of it. This one is of a trestle - one of the tools used in the process of creating the haystacks. I liked how they came out but then they were largely forgotten about as soon as I was back studying after the summer break.
