Fire alarm.

The fire alarm went off.
Just a test.
People working for the council had to go out and wait until it was ok to go back to work.

Well done!

These two guys have been doing a good job on making a wooden path, so it will be easier to reach the beach for those who are out with a weal chair or a pram.

WELL DONE!

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.

Sunny Sunday.

We have a sunny Sunday today!

Feels good!

On our citywalk today I found todays model, who was busy at work on a big tug vessel.

Men at work...

One of the tourist boats is getting a rinse.

The sky is BLUE.

It is early morning, and it looks like it is going to be a very nice summer day here in the region!
Also perfect for gardening or like this man is doing, painting the house.
ENJOY YOUR DAY!

Ice cream.

Today it was sunny and slightly warmer, so a bit warmer now, and I am ready for my favourite ice lolly.

In Norwegian Is = ice-cream.

The Air Show is over for 2017.

This is another photo from SOLA AIRSHOW 2017.
The plane and people represented the Royal Netherlands Air Force, and they are heading back home tomorrow morning.

The airshow has been a success and the weather has been good.
I have never seen so many men with huge cameras, lenses that looked like they belonged to paparazzi....

They must have got some great action shots!

Preparations for tomorrows concerts.

Busy setting up one of the stages for tomorrows many concerts all over the town.
Hopefully it will be nice weather without too much rain.
HAVE FUN!

Time to replace the roof.

Men at work, who are replacing a roof.

(I don't think I could work like this :-)

A busy place...

A busy place...
Also very nice.

Roof tops.

Roof tops and the mountains on the other side of the fjord.
Photographed on a sunny but cold day, so obviously not today.

Sjoborg Leirvik.

I don't know who they were or what they were doing this afternoon.
But it looked like they had fun, so if it was work they must have had a jolly good day!

I zoomed in and found the name "Sjoborg Leirvik", and thanks to google I found out that they might work on the offshore supply ship from the Faeroe Island.

Anyway, on the way out of Vågen the speed went up, and on a grey day like this it was also great to see some splash of bright colour.

Atlantic Hall

Atlantic Hall is part of the Radisson BLU Atlantic hotel, and the hotel is now closed for customers during the renovation work. It will be very different when it opens for business again.

The Atlantic Hall has hosted so many BIG events, and most people over 50 have probably been there more than once.

Work that needs to be done.

He was busy doing his work.
He told me about it, - and why they were using concrete instead of sand.
This is in a small narrow alley, where shops and food places use lots of water outside, so if they used sand it would disappear very quickly.
Good to have knee protectors when working in a place like this.

It is important to have work like this done before the snow arrives.

Road work

I hope he managed to finish the important (and noisy) work he was doing yesterday.
Becoming very windy today. Autumn is here.

The window cleaner.

Streetmusic.

He is playing, no matter what the weather is like.

ONS 2016

The ONS ( Offshore Northern Seas) 2016 is on this week.
An impressive event with oil and gas companies from all over the world.

Even the fact that many companies have been struggling for more than a year, and lots of people have lost their jobs.... this event looked very much like "business as usual".

I liked the style, the artistic design and colours here.
Listening to the people around me (all men) they were more interested in other details.

There will be lots of social events too. Take a look at www.ons.no
