Helicopter traffic.

Living here on the coast of Norway I see and hear helicopters nearly every single day.

Not since 1978 have we had a disaster like the one that happened on Friday, when 13 people lost their lives! 

Newspapers, radio and TV have been covering the tragedy where a Super Puma EC225 crashed just outside Bergen, on it's way from the "Gullfaks B" platform.

The loss for family, friends and colleagues is devastating! 

For Statoil and other oil companies, safety has been, and will be, number one.

All helicopters of the same type are grounded until they have found answers to why this happened.

In 2015 there were more than 600.000 passengers travelling to and from platforms here in Norway.

TEA IN THE SKY ....

What a nice thing to do on a Saturday afternoon!

Afternoon Tea up on the top floor at the new CLARION HOTEL AIR.

We loved it, - also including the scones and the glass of Champagne!

Excellent service by Natalia & the people working on the 10th. floor.

And the view from the tallest building in Sola was just fantastic!

The dining area.

One more glimpse in to the Clarion Hotel Air, this time from the dining area.
I have not tasted the food, not even the coffee, but one day I hope to try it, or perhaps go for afternoon tea at the hotel?

From the lounge area at the hotel.

It is COLD today, still sunny and no rain.

Whoever bought all the interesting books... did a good job :)

BLUE SKY today.

Finally we have got a sunny day with BLUE sky.
Fantastic!

This is Clarion Hotel Air, a brand new hotel. One day I will show you more pictures from inside.
It is close to the airport and the beach.

I like the art ( The Messenger by Per Dybvig) at the entrance, and the architecture looked special today with the bright ( Sunny:) light.
