Klepp

Another image taken from the air.
It is Klepp, and the area with the houses is Verdalen.
Driving by car it takes about 30 minutes from the centre of Stavanger.
I was going away for a couple of days.
And as always, happy to get a window seat! :-)

Walking on the beach.

HANEKAM

Such a grey day today, so it is good to see some bright colours.
This is outside HANEKAM , a coffee / bar place at Øvre Holmegate.

A look in to the library / Culture House.

Sunday work.

Some people have to work on Sundays.
If you walk through town on a Sunday morning, you will see lots of window cleaners in action.
Here is one doing a good job!

LYKKELAND.

The filming of "LYKKELAND" finished in Stavanger yesterday.
It is a film about what happened in the 1960's when our city changed in to the OIL CITY.
Hopefully we will see it on NRK in the autumn of 2018.
There will be 8 TV episodes, and there are still lots of work to be done.
Filming abroad is on the agenda now.

Here you see two stylish men, Mr.Rakovic and Mr.Sandvik.
They worked as film extras and I had the pleasure to see them and others in action.

Fleemarket at the Clarion Hotel.

Yesterday Clarion Hotel had a flee market.
All the money went straight to an organisation "Kreftforeningen"
An important national organisation that has to do with cancer / cancerawarness.
Lots of people had given items like clothes, shoes, toys, books, bags, furniture etc.
And lots of people turned up, so I guess the result must have been very good.

Well done to CLARION HOTEL in Stavanger!

Hafrsfjord area.

Looking out over the Hafrsfjord area.
Some autumn colours.

GOD HELG!
HAPPY WEEKEND!

Two happy sisters.

Two happy sisters on their way to the cinema to watch the film "Elias".
I asked their parents for permission to take and publish the photo.

They looked so smart with their very feminine outfits!

It seems to be a popular thing to do on Sundays .... go to the cinema, I mean.

Cancer research.

WELL DONE to all the farmers who are supporting cancer research.

Last year with PINK plastic out on the fields ... breast cancer.
This year there are BLUE ones too. Awareness and research on prostate cancer.

Some of the money they pay for the plastic goes straight to the research!

Again, WELL DONE!

Morning walk.

Early morning walk today.
Sunny most of the day!
Enjoy your weekend!

Rain rain rain.

Looking up today....
Well, we have had RAIN and I guess it will continue that way.

The station building.

The station building at the railway station in Stavanger.
No trains continue from Stavanger.... just plenty of stops (back) south and east to Kristiansand and Oslo.

A trip to Sandnes.

A trip to Sandnes yesterday evening also included a look around KINOKINO Kunstsal (art gallery).
If you live in the area and hurry up, you can see these artistic graphic works from around 1940 that have been scanned from slides and turned into large posters.

MISS B.

For some time now we have had the chance to buy personalised number plates.
I have seen a few when I have been out driving, but I promised to take a photo if I saw one, and here it is.
The smiling man driving told me that MISS B was his wife and singer in the band "Miss B and the bluecats."

Here is the car!
And here is some music and info.
ENJOY!

Election time.

It is election time here in Norway.
You will find lots of information here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Norway

This is a voting booth where you can still vote for a few more days.
So I guess it is just to find out WHO to vote for.

We might get a new PM soon, or perhaps Erna Solberg will continue to
be our prime minister for four more years.

Roadwork!

I feel sorry for the people who have to LIVE here when this huge roadwork is going on.

AIDAbella

Afternoon sunshine and rain.
AIDA looks like a big beauty!
She came from Ulvik and is heading for Kiel after a stop in Stavanger.

Double rainbow.

We have a mixture of sunshine and plenty of rain.
Yesterday morning I was out in the car when I suddenly discovered a double rainbow.
I am so pleased every time  I see rainbows.
This is a photo taken with my iPhone.

I love berries....

I love berries.
Just a simple joy, - together with coffee.
