Sayings by Ajax.

Up in the air you can see "sayings" by Ajax (Andreas Jakobsen 1909-1995), who wrote stories using local dialect and wrote about Johanna and her brother Broremann.
Business people around the city centre have gone together and paid for more lights, that will light up some of the narrow streets.

HAPPY MONDAY!

It is a bit of rain in the air and +12C.

Today I will show you just a snapshot taken one early morning in one of the narrow little roads in the city centre.

I know the feeling.... just HAVE TO find out what is happening in the book I am reading.
So when the woman came walking towards me.... I grabbed my mobile phone in the pocket, and caught the moment.

What was she reading? Jo Nesbø

I hope she will forgive me for publishing this, without asking her.
It just made me so happy to see a person so occupied with READING.

So what are you reading at the moment?

I am reading Elena Ferrante's book " Historia om set nye namnet" ( book number 2)

Number 27.

If you like STAVANGER DAILY PHOTO on Facebook, or are one of the people who has followed my blog over the years, you can WIN these chocolates, from the company shown in yesterdays posting.

The only thing you have to do is to leave a comment or just 27 ( the house number where you find Chili Chocolate in the narrow little street SØREGATA.)

The draw will be TUESDAY evening, and will be sent the winner on Wednesday.

Market day today.

We have had a beautiful Saturday!

Sunshine and +18C

In town we had a proper market day, with several locale quality products sold outside the Cathedral.

Here you see CHILI chocolate products made in the city centre.

Tomorrow there will be a "give away".

Chili Chocolate.

We enjoyed hot chocolate with chili and cream on the top.
Yummy!
The place is in Søregata, a narrow little road also nicknamed "the shoe-street".
Just look for the bright RED door.
You can watch the production (through a window) and when I was there, customers were ordering advent calendars filled with different chocolates.

(I payed 40 N.kr for each cup.)

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

Quiet in town.

Sometimes it looks empty and too quiet in town.

The pink dog.

A welcoming and colourful display outside a toy shop in Søregata.

Søregaten.

There are quite a number of office and shops areas that are empty and ready for new people to take over..... So if you have plans for something new, and money as well as the spirit for something new for next year...... you could start out with looking around Søregaten where there are places on both sides of the little road....

I seriously think it is sad to see this happening in Stavanger.
Is it the same in many other cities?
