En: The sun shone over Aker Brygge, and the air was filled with the sound of laughter and shouts. No: Det var 17. mai, Norges nasjonaldag, og mennesker i bunader og med flagg i hendene fylte gatene. En: It was 17. mai, Norway's national day, and people in bunader with flags in their hands filled the streets. No: Sindre og Elin stod midt i folkemengden. En: Sindre and Elin stood in the middle of the crowd. No: Sindre holdt kameraet forsiktig i hendene og speidet etter det perfekte stedet å ta et bilde. En: Sindre held the camera carefully in his hands, searching for the perfect spot to take a picture. No: "Mye folk her i dag," sa Elin og kikket seg rundt. En: "A lot of people here today," said Elin, glancing around. No: Øynene hennes glitret med forventning, men det var også lett bekymring der. En: Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, but there was also a slight hint of concern. No: Hun ville ikke miste Sindre i mylderet. En: She didn't want to lose Sindre in the throng. No: "Vi finner en god plass," svarte Sindre, fast bestemt på å ta et bilde som ville leve opp til minnet fra i fjor. En: "We'll find a good spot," replied Sindre, determined to take a picture that would live up to the memory from last year. No: De begynte å bevege seg gjennom menneskemengden. En: They began to move through the crowd. No: Lukten av nygrillede pølser og vafler hang i luften. En: The smell of freshly grilled sausages and waffles hung in the air. No: Sindre stoppet stadig for å knipse bilder, men ingenting var akkurat som han ønsket. En: Sindre kept stopping to snap pictures, but nothing was quite what he wanted. No: "Kanskje vi burde gå mot vannet?" foreslo han. En: "Maybe we should head towards the water?" he suggested. No: Elin nikket, selv om hun hele tiden passet på å holde øye med han. En: Elin nodded, though she continuously kept an eye on him. No: "Bare ikke klatre opp på noe for å få det til," sa hun med et glimt i øyet, men lyden av trommer og musikk fra paradebandet forstyrret lyden av stemmen hennes. En: "Just don't climb up on anything to make it happen," she said with a glint in her eye, but the sound of drums and music from the parade band drowned out her voice. No: De nærmet seg havnen. En: They approached the harbor. No: Der, blant de mange benkene, så Sindre en mulighet. En: There, among the many benches, Sindre saw an opportunity. No: Hvis han bare kunne komme seg opp, ville han få en fantastisk utsikt. En: If only he could get up, he would have a fantastic view. No: "Jeg klatrer opp der," sa han, pekende mot en ledig benk. En: "I'll climb up there," he said, pointing at an empty bench. No: Elin så tvilende ut. En: Elin looked doubtful. No: "Vær forsiktig da," sa hun, men han var allerede på vei. En: "Be careful then," she said, but he was already on his way. No: Fra benken hadde Sindre perfekt utsikt over paraden. En: From the bench, Sindre had a perfect view of the parade. No: Han hevet kameraet, klar til å fange den norske glansen, da det gikk opp for ham. En: He raised the camera, ready to capture the Norwegian splendor when it dawned on him. No: Han hadde mistet Elin i mengden. En: He had lost Elin in the crowd. No: "Hvor er hun?" mumlet han for seg selv, hjertet slo raskere. En: "Where is she?" he mumbled to himself, his heart beating faster. No: Han speidet ut over folkemengden, men så bare et hav av rødt, hvitt, og blått. En: He scanned the crowd but saw only a sea of red, white, and blue. No: Han skjønte at han kunne miste noe viktig hvis han ikke fant henne snart. En: He realized he could lose something important if he didn't find her soon. No: Plutselig fanget en kjent rødfarget skygge hans blikk. En: Suddenly, a familiar red shadow caught his eye. No: Elins røde skjerf! En: Elin's red scarf! No: Med det som sin ledetråd, klatret Sindre raskt ned fra benken. En: With that as his guide, Sindre quickly climbed down from the bench. No: Han presset seg gjennom folkemengden, unnskyldende smil og hastverk i blikket. En: He pushed through the crowd, apologetic smiles and urgency in his gaze. No: "Elin!" ropte han da han kom nærmere. En: "Elin!" he shouted as he got closer. No: Hun snudde seg lettet mot han, smilte bredt. En: She turned towards him, relieved, with a broad smile. No: "Jeg fant deg!" En: "I found you!" No: De grinete mot hverandre, lettelsen tydelig i øynene deres. En: They grinned at each other, the relief evident in their eyes. No: "Jeg var redd jeg hadde mistet deg," sa Elin og grep hans hånd fast. En: "I was afraid I lost you," said Elin, gripping his hand tightly. No: "Det gjaldt å finne det rette bildet, men ingenting er bedre enn å dele dette sammen," innrømmet Sindre og smilte. En: "It was a
