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.

Here is a view from the park, that shows how close The Stavanger Katedralskole (an old and popular college) is to the little chapel and to the Cathedral.
The statue is of a famous author, Arne Garborg, who died back in 1924.
Very often the sky has got an orange color to it, when it is snowing. You can also see the same effect in the photo of the girls, posted last Saturday.
Checking about Arne Garborg on Wikipedia, I found this quote: It is said that for money you can have everything, but you cannot. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; knowledge, but not wisdom; glitter, but not beauty; fun, but not joy; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; leisure, but not peace. You can have the husk of everything, but not the kernel.
The sky is totally surreal
