Architecture.

Seen from Kilden / Hillevåg.

A long time ago....

A long time ago this building used to be a bakery.
I can remember the SMELL when the bus stopped at the nearby bus stop very early in the morning, the smell of freshly baked products filling the bus as soon as the doors opened.

Today it looks like it is a driving school.

Just dumped...

Just dumped at a parking area near Vannassen / Åsen / Hillevåg.

Streetmusic.

He is playing, no matter what the weather is like.
Outside KILDEN the shopping mall in Hillevåg.

Norway and EU.

Norway is not a member of EU.

We have connections, via the EEA. (European Economic Area)

In 1972 as well as 1994 we voted, and the result ended with 53,5 voting NO, and 52,2 in 1994.

Stavanger used to have an office for the Norwegian Movement for "Nei til EU"

I am thinking of BREXIT when I pass labels like this....

There might be big changes in Europe.

Time will show.

A decorated wall.

Seen on my walk this morning.

Round & Round at Hillevåg.

The round building next to the roundabout.

A bench by the fjord.

Hillevåg.

The day started with rain.
This is the parking area outside lots of shops and offices in Hillevåg.
Part of it is private, and people going to the shopping mall Kilden, mainly park in the multi-storey car park.

The day turned to sunshine later on, but now the wind is really starting to pick up.
Have a nice and relaxing weekend !

The Goldsmiths Doll.

Most of us who are out with cameras remember to look UP, but sometimes it is also important to remember to look DOWN as well….. This I saw at a goldsmiths through a low window at street level.
The doll was "busy working", and I guess there must be many children who have seen it long before I stopped.

Paradis in Paradis.

Paradis in Paradis, seen on a walk today.
As some of you who are following my blog might remember;
Paradis is also the name of an area near the city centre.

Boat in a bag.

A boat in a bag?
I have never seen these before, but looking around I suddenly saw several.

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

HaPPy WeeKend!

Still roadwork......
Will they find out what to do next?

The FACE in the window.

(Actually, it was a pillow.)

A new designer shop opened last week.

(Hillevågsveien 101.)

Easy to spot with the bright red wall!

I wish you A HAPPY WEEKEND!

This is a swan on the little lake "Vannassen", 10 minutes away from the city centre by car.

Roadworks in the winter.

Tonight I suddenly realized that the name of this place goes well with the way it looks.

"Patrioten" is the Norwegian name.

"The Patriot," in English.

Locale memories have been put up on the walls :)

Perhaps most places have Patriots ?

Sometimes it really stinks.... but today was not too bad!

We call it "Hillevågs-luktå".

I wish I could hear you say that in Norwegian, it means "The smell from Hillevåg"

This estate is named "Køhlerhuset", and has a story I will have to add later.

It looks pretty.

I hope to take a look inside one day.....

Time will show.
