Dear everyone. Congratulations and drive carefully!

With these words and a cut with a Sami knife, the Minister of Transport opens the new road on the E69 in Finnmark.

As he does, the sky opens and the heaviest and coldest rainstorm ever, washes over the assembly, which dissolves into chaos.

I am working on a project where I photograph road openings. I document county municipal pomposity and local optimism for the future. Now everything is going to be so much better! The road is finally here.
