A picture
Often your family get you nice pictures. As from today, just after we had been out in the woods skiing, my daugther stood there soaking up the sun. Her posture and facial expression shows peace and pleasure after spending the day in the ski slopes. This was also the day when Petter Northug won the 5 mile and Norway’s eighth world championship gold in Holmenkollen!

New work for Treschow-Fritzöe
“There is the water fall in the short river between Farris and Larviksfjord that has provided the basis for one of the oldest industrial environments. From milling in the 1300s to the sawmill, ironworks and factories using wood as raw material, it has in the Farris River in Hammerdalen been industry of considerable size. Together with the natural resources of the large forest estate between Larvik and Kongsberg, this was the starting point for Treschow-Fritzöes business.”
This is some of Mille-Marie Treschows words in the 175-year anniversary brochure of Treschow-Fritzöe, which came out in the end of 2010. A great and comprehensive brochure about the family and its history through time to today’s business segments.
Morten has worked with the company for several years and have taken most of the photographs in the brochure, designed by Allegro Larvik.

Picture taken during summertime, at Flåmsdalen in Sogn & Fjordane, Norway, last year. The days are short and cold in the winter here in Norway, and really looking forward to the summer temperature, in about 4-5 months!
