A litle update from Bergen

Hey folks, it's been a while sins I last posted something her. My excuse?? I don't have any, but time flies, work and family are really the only thing I use my time on.

In the last month, allot of things has happen. At work it's allot to do and I was offered a trainee job, I'm going to bee at a different office for some months. It's so nice to get more experience; it will give me a better chance when I apply for other positions at my work place.

On the private part, every thing goes just great. Our little princes are growing and the 14th of June she is One year. She is the most beautiful little thing and she gives us allot of joy, last mount she also start using her feet's for standing on, and she is now up and around every where.

Yes I've also taken allot of pictures, but most of them is family and princes. But of curs now & then I take others too.
The following pictures is from the last moth

I thing I've don this before, Panorama from the mount Fløyen

 

And her is one fore Kyle & Svet in Russia. Our submarine navy force is in these days 100 year, and for that reason, submarines from other countries come visiting. This one is a Russian submarine. It isn’t that many years ago, this would be impossible.

  

Then the last one, is just some beautiful Norwegian nature

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

Last visit at the old apartment

See you later

We are moving :-) part 2

Her we go....
I started 08:00 this morning, and this is first rest sins then (13:40), the apartment we are moving from is in the 4th floor and no elevator. My luck :-) (The new one one floor up)
The new apartment is as i told you, close to the old one and thats good (and bad). Good because we don't have to go far and bad because it's so close it's stupid to use a car.
My brother is coming tomorrow to help me with the heavy stuff, he is the best one. He never say no and always find a way to help.

............THANKS BRO.......

No pictures today or this weekend, if i take some pictures I'll use the mobile phone.

And it will be posted at: my mobile blog 

Here we go again.... See you later

We are moving :-)

Yes. We are soon moving and i hope the move is going to go better then the change of URL:-)

At the end of this month we are moving in to a nicer apartment, the best part is that the new apartment is in the neighborhood so we don't need to go so far.
The big dilemma is if we should rent a car or if we should carry everything, it's close but not that close...

We are, or more right to say my wife are spending the days packing while I'm at work. On top of that she find time to clean the apartment and iron my shirts.. She is the best :-)

When it comes to pictures, i don't have any new ones, but after a search in the archive i found this..

What should i say about this one ?
It's a nice and well kept car...

 

And this is taken in my neighborhood area

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..

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.
