Last week I had the luck to be taken to the newly re-built Holmenkollbakken ski jump in Oslo, where I met a man who had last done the jump in 1940, aged 19. He said "you feel very lonely when the hooter has sounded, and you are at the top of the jump, and there are thousands of silent spectators down below." You will see what he means below, particularly in the fifth and final picture.
