Today I met Mr. Leversen who has just had published a very popular book about Stavanger in the old days.

Well done, also with the Facebook page which you can find here http://www.facebook.com/groups/145517258844800/

If you follow this link you will find some interesting photographs.

PS. We got SNOW today!:)

Beautiful sky this morning!

The old boat decorated ready for Christmas parties.

The X-mas party season has started.

Shops are full of presents to buy, as well as clothes to wear.

Back to school for the pupils and teachers.
I hope it is nice and warm inside.
Outside we have (plenty of) RAIN, and it is getting colder.

There are plenty of places to go for walks in and around Stavanger.

Another face......

Comfort Hotel Square has some huge photos decorating the walls!:)

HaPPy WeeKenD!

The road Madlaveien, after the rush hour.

My colleague KRISTIN has a tattoo on the back of her neck.
She has the personality to carry it off, sporty and lively!:)

The mansion BREIDABLIKK, seen through the gate.

This weekend we here in the north of Europe could have lost SAS!

Scandinavian Airlines is still operating!

The company is still making big headlines in the news, and the last two unions have to sign the agreement today......

Time will show.

I like the open landscape that can be found south of Stavanger.
This was taken on a trip this afternoon.
Good to see the blue sky again!!:)

Plenty of rain today!!


Mr. Torleif Hansen took action when his neighborhood had a flood out in the road again.
Leaves blocking the drain were stopping the water from draining away properly.....

Another view from the path around the lake, Mosvannet.

Happy weekend!

More hotels are being built.
This place used to be "home" for seriously ill people, then a place for asylum seekers, before this last project.
Even "Hilton Hotels" have said they are interested in building a hotel in Stavanger.
Time will tell.

Good memories.....

(Outside an entrance door.)

GOOD MORNING from STAVANGER!

It was a sunny and cold morning today.
I have never ever before met a jogger with bare feet!!!
Have you?

A view from Tasta ( a suburb of Stavanger) over the Åmøyfjord.
Do you see the snow up on the mountains?

Have you seen the parking (traffic) warden ? Neither have we.... (is the text on the wall)


Late afternoon at the shopping mall, "Kvadrat."
Parking is free, but difficult to find a parking space on a rainy day.

New people in the house, and a new animal in the garden!:)

Visiting a greenhouse the other day, I noticed Father Christmas just hanging around.

Work in progress......
One day this will be a very unique place!
I will report back after the grand opening.

My friend pointed out this little bird.
Some birds have already "gone south" to warmer countries. 

Each season has its own unique beauty.

We have some old wooden churches around.
This is Bore church, south of Stavanger.

I just boosted the colors a bit.

Halloween party tonight!:)

Is this a Martini glass?
I don`t know.
The art on the corner, made me stop.

HaPPy WeeKend!

I am pleased I met him when it was not dark!!!
JØRGEN and his two friends were on their way home from school.......

Did YOU celebrate HALLOWEEN?
