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.

Bergen pictures

 Then i was here again.
Some new pictures from my hometown.


It was just hanging there, waiting for the owner to come back.
Maybe somebody was partying a bit to hard :-)

 

Somebody had allot of fun

  

The Music pavilion, was given to the city by, some consul F.G. Gade and was built in 1893. It came from Germany as a constructing set and is made in casting steel and wood.

It is still used as a concert scene.

  

He is so angry and i would be to, he has been standing at the same place in many years with the water poring over him :-)

  

The old City Hall.

Built in 1558, the material came from a church in the neighborhood (back then)

After the big city fire in 1702 it was rebuilt.

It is also a part of Norwegian dark history, in the witch process. Where allot of people was killed without justice, i have been writing about this before. Follow this link

  

Then we are looking at the Bryggen.

Bergen harbor

  

It had just stop raining and the sun came back

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.

Day trip to Nordfjordeid

Today we went to Nordfjordeid, a comunety center in Sogn & Fjordane. It took about one hour to drive including the ferry.
It's a nice place with shopping mall, walking street and, old nice buildings. One day i'm going to put in the pictures of that too, but today i want to show you some of the others i took.

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.
