This is probably the most busy man in Stavanger this week!

I used the opportunity to take a photo when he was interviewed by our national radio station.

His name is Leif Johan Sevland, and he is now director of the ONS.

There will be more than 50.000 visitors at this famous event, the world's leading meeting place for the energy industry.

Since 1995 until last year he was the Mayor of our city, for the Conservative Party.

He is a friendly outgoing person and well known here in the region, as well as many other places in Norway as well as abroad.

Today is the Norwegian Queens (Sonja`s) birthday!

I took this photo of the Queen together with the Mayor of Stavanger, Mr. Leif Johan Sevland,- exactly two years ago in the centre of the city, when the Queen celebrated her 70th. birthday together with her family and Royalty from several European countries.

The International Media also got a taste of Stavanger as the "European City of Culture" which started half a year later.

Happy Birthday to the Queen!
