En: asked Leif while he looked around admiringly.

No: Da hun var ferdig, svant stillheten inn over dem som et tungt teppe.
En: When she was finished, silence fell over them like a heavy blanket.

No: Solen begynte å dykke under horisonten, og kastet et mykt, gyllent lys over skulpturene, og atmosfæren var tett, men rolig.
