Tango in Hallingdal

This place used to be a tiny farm called Tango,
plural modalis for Tangene in the Halling dialect.
The farm was flooded each spring, when the snow melting in the mountains increased the level of the river. The flooding stopped when the river was regulated for hydro electric power production just after the war, in the 1950-ies.

In the photo, my father Kaare, my wife Eva and the nearest farmer, Steinar Breie.

The last farmer on Tango was Mikkel. Steinar remember him wagely, from his childhood. My wife is a decendant from the Tango farmers.
