HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

If you click on "labels-trees" under this text, you will see the same tree taken from the other side at other times of the year.

To the left is the Culture House with the cinema, library, cafés etc.

That is where I am off to this evening to watch a film......

This shot was taken yesterday afternoon, around 16:15.

This afternoon I had a look over to "Paradis".

Paradis is a part of Stavanger with wooden houses/flats and a fabulous view over the harbor with all the boats of different sizes and prices.

We had a little bit more snow today, and there might be more to come.

Colder weather too. Most of the main roads are ok, - thanks to these people working day and night.

LEFSE is what we call this type of traditional Norwegian food. I was just using "google" and found so many links and even "You Tube" films about how to make them. I would recommend Googling "Lefse" if you are interested in finding out more.

I have not been brought up with a mother or grandmother who has taught me about traditional food, but luckily there are plenty of places to buy LEFSE.

Still plenty of space on the beach inbetween the sea and the snow.

Not much life in the centre of Stavanger today.

Some walking their dogs, some meeting up with friends, and some like me out with the camera.

Most decorations here are fairly subtle, but this pub/bar, is probably one of the most colorful buildings in Stavanger.
