The Foreign Service Journal, June 2017

110 JUNE 2017 | THE FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL LOCAL LENS BY JIM DEHART n TRONDHEIM, NORWAY Please submit your favorite, recent photograph to be considered for Local Lens. Images must be high resolution (at least 300 dpi at 8” x 10”, or 1 MB or larger) and must not be in print elsewhere. Please include a short description of the scene/event, as well as your name, brief biodata and the type of camera used, to locallens@afsa.org. T rondheim was founded as a coastal trading town in 997. Today, it is a dynamic research and technology hub centered around the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I took this photo during an official visit to the city as we walked between meetings. The weather was alternating between thick snow flurries and blasts of bright sun, which made for some crisp light and deep colors. In Trondheim I gave a speech to students, did a press interview, met the county mayor, met with an organization supporting technology start-ups and toured the local brewery, which has a joint venture with U.S.-based Brooklyn Brewery. n Jim DeHart, currently chargé d’affaires at U.S. Embassy Oslo, has served in Melbourne, Istanbul, Brussels and Panjshir (Afghanistan), in addition to assignments in Washington, D.C., over a 24-year FS career. He is a former chairman of the FSJ Editorial Board.
