Winter storm in Bergen

Snow, snow and more snow

This 3 pictures are taken in my neighborhood

As you can see, the weather is not good

To day i had to take the bus, and i want to blame the snow..
Maybe should blame my self for not putting on the winter tire, but i choose to blame the snow. :-)

Back from Oslo

I'm back.
This was one of the most interesting and best curs I've done in a long time.

I partly promised some pictures, but the biggest problem is the short time of daylight in wintertime. We spend all day in classroom and when the day was over and we where leaving, it was pitch dark and not the best opportunity to take any photos.

But some i manage to take.

This one is from the flight to Oslo, and shows the Hardangervidden

 

 This next one i in Oslo and show the Aker Brygge 08:30 in the morning

  

 And at the end the city hall in Oslo, also pictured in the morning

Boring sunday

I've been so bored today.
The rain is poring down and the wind is pretty strong, but i manage to go for a walk in between the rain and hale.

I was late for my walk today and the daylight was fading away. To keep up the quality with high ISO (800) i had to take B&W pictures, could have used colors too but my opinion is when i use high ISO B&W is best.


The three following pictures are from my neighborhood in Bergen, more specific Nordnes



Link to Google Maps
The first two pictures are taken with the orange marker, and the last one is with the yellow marker in the map.

Back in city

Then we are home again.
The vacation is over and normal life beguines, on Wednesday. Yes i have one more day and I'm enjoying it to the fullest....

My Wife started school today and that means that our princess and her daddy is home alone, she has just eaten and is sleeping so sweet on the sofa just now :-)

The big thing in my blog world, is my change of URL. For the one who didn't noticed, my old address used to be "http://bskaad.blogspot.com" but as you probably noticed you are not there now.
If you take a look you will see that the URL is the same as the title of this blog and the reason for changing is my eager for more visit :-) (Spread the word, i want more visit and comments...)

In this work of changing i discovered that i had allot of tools who needed to know my new address too, some i could just change and some i had to make all over again. But i think i manage to fix them all, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

At the end i will welcome all readers back and to the new ones, pleas come back again and if anyone of old or new readers has an opinion. Use the commenting tool and give me a comment.
One more thing, I'm open for request. is there something you want to know about bergen or is there something you want to see (picture) give me a word and i will try to do so.

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..
