Lazy days (Summer vacation)

Not so much to tell.
We are enjoying the days, relaxing and eating :-)

Pictures? Not to many, it's a small place and I'll think i showed you most of the place all ready. But of curs i have some...

I've been doing allot of work on my vacation, my mother in law is saving the work for me. It's actually pretty nice, i don't get bored.. :-)
I've been fixing and moving the satellite disk, fixing some crashed computers, tighten up some furniture and one of the days I'm going to do the lawn..

But now over to the pictures.... I found some!

Eidfossen, a small but powerful waterfall and the building on the left side is a power plant.

(On the picture above, it's not rain. It's the shower from the waterfall that was making me and the camera wet)

Laksetrapp, because of the dam at the top of the waterfall, the salmon cant get up. To make it easier or possible for the salmon to continue they build a canal for the fish to get up (laksetrapp)

This is where the Trolls are living :-)
This day it was cloudy and the light in the forest got so mystic and i had no problem believing in the fairy tails about the Trolls

This church is in a nearby village called Reed, a small place with a church, pub/bar and grocery marked + camping..

Walk in Bergen, the summer city

It's summer, the best one in many years. And we are enjoying it in every way possible.

To day we went for a walk in the sun, nothing special about that because we try to do that every day. And as usual i brought the camera and took allot of pictures.



First we want to the harbor and as you can see, there was not to many people outside. Strange you may think, but it's just the way it should be in the middle of the summer. People go on vacation and not so many left. More room for us and the tourists :-)

 

We kept on walking and came to the "#1 Torvallmenningen", it's the cities "living room" there is almost always some entertainment there and to day was no different.

#1 (Torgallmenningen is a wide and open ally, going trough the city and was made after one of the big city fires to protect the city against new fires)

As i told you earlier, not to many people in the city and one more reason could be that everything is closed on Sundays.

But this guy was working in the sun.

 

He just came from Oslo, where he had been for a while and doing his show. He was so amazed over the fact that every thing is closed on Sundays in Norway.
