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.

"Sinnataggen" is in town.
The Spitfire or Sinnataggen as we call the famous statue by Vigeland, in Frognerparken / Oslo, has now turned up as art on a wall near the harbour here in Stavanger.
(More images I found when I googled LASTAA.)
We saw that statue when we were in Oslo and got a postcard of it too. I remember thinking what an angry looking baby, I wouldn't want to hear him screaming.:) I like the image on the wood of the building, it looks nice.
For years and years in Berkeley, California, there was an large, old sign advertising something that was supposed to be good for babies with what was supposed to be a happy baby. The problem was that the artist missed the mark and the baby looked positively malevolent. I was reminded of it by your picture..... Scary baby!
A bit unsettling, I think.
