Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

This is what it looked like in Kirkegaten (Church street ) around 18.30 this evening.....
It’s that time of year again! I’m doing the rounds and apologising for my complete failure to more regularly offer comment on everybody’s incredible efforts for the year. I know how hard it can be to keep up with the daily grind of everyday posting, and want to thank you for your efforts.
I especially want to wish festive greetings for all from down here at [nearly] the end of the world, the bottom of Tasmania.
So, if you could delete whatever is not applicable, I’d like to wish you a very pleasant/merry/happy/wonderful/safe Amaterasu; Ashurall; Beiwe; Choimus; Christmas; Dazh Boh; Dongzhi; Goru; Hanukkah; Hogmanay; Junkanoo; Karachun; Koleda; Lenæa; Meán Geimhridh; Modranicht; New Years; Ras as-Sana; Rozhanitsa Feast; Şeva Zistanê; shōgatsu; Summer Solstice [if you're in the Southern Hemisphere]; Sviatki; Winter solstice [if you're in the Northern Hemisphere]; Yalda; Yule-tide; Ziemassvētki; and Коляда!
Seems to be white all over the northern world! Glad to know the traffic gets chaotic even in Norway - we imagine you're better geared for this weather than we are here in UK.
Fine picture, but what a mess! But I'd like to try it, just for a day... Our few flakes of snow vanished while I was sleeping, so we consider ourselves quite lucky here.
Looks pretty similar here too. Cold and white.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. Looks so quaint.
ReplyDeleteMy warmest wishes for this Festive Season and a Happy, Healthy and Successful New Year for you and your loved ones!

ReplyDeleteOh I'd love that! I'd give anything for such a pretty sight for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFirst time for many years that England has also looked like this at this time of year; stay warm.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you and to your family from me and Patty here in Ohio.
ReplyDeleteYour picture is like what we have here. Snow.
The whole family will be here for Christmas this year. That will be different for us.
Just the way I remember winter shopping in the North.
