Beach life

This is Elisabeth Nessler and Bjørn Sola together with their two dogs.
Not a common thing to see, a Norwegian guy wearing a kilt (on yet another snowy day!)
He told me that he actually had five kilts...
So perhaps he will inspire more Norwegian men to dress the same way?
Great to see a man who is man enough to dress just the way HE likes.

Together with a good friend I was out walking on the beach, before celebrating "International Women's Day" with some nice food at the hotel on the beach.

Have a nice evening, everyone!

Mathilde Christiane.

If you have been to Sola Strand Hotell, you might have noticed this; Mathilde Christiane, looking at you from the reception area. She was at the front of a Swedish shipwreck found back in 1822 on the coast just outside the hotel.

Lazy afternoon.

A beautiful day!

What a beautiful day we have had today.

Here you see the beach at Sola this afternoon.

Sola Strand Hotel.

This is the fireplace at the reception area at Sola Strand Hotel, an old hotel, dating back to 1914. Renovated and decorated, and also today a popular place for weddings, business meetings, Sunday lunches as well as a place to meet friends for just a coffee or a drink. It is close to the airport and only 15 min. by car from the centre of Stavanger.
They have a popular spa area, and the best location with the beaches just on the doorstep.

We have strong wind, perhaps even storm this weekend (?)

Well, wherever you are: HAPPY WEEKEND!

Snow on the beach.

A view from the bar / coffee bar at the Sola Beach Hotel.

Yes, it is the SEA, and it is a bit of spring in the air out there.

- Have a nice weekend!

(Day one of year two for "Stavangerdailyphoto.com")

I just want to show you a corner of the "Sola Strand Hotel". A hotel that also keeps old historical memories, and lets them be a part of the hotel atmosphere.

Today has been a lovely SUNNY day! I just hope it will be warmer soon .....

The photograph on the wall shows how the hotel looked in it`s early days.

Todays best view, - from the relaxing area at the SPA at Sola Strand Hotel.

They have the most fantastic spa I have seen in this area, brand new and full of all the best that is on the market. Plus, the view from the window is over Sola beach and continuing out over the North Sea.
