Early morning in town.

Early morning in town.

Old and modern style.

Old and modern style.

Happy weekend.

Have a nice weekend!
This is an image from the city park.
(When the sun was shining.)

Blue sky...

Outside it is windy with quite a bit of rain...
So today I will put out a photo taken a few days back when the sky was blue and the sun was shining.
That is what it is going to be soon again.

Blue sky this morning.

BLUE SKY.
Out walking with the dog around 8 o'clock this morning.
Still cold, but much better than weather than in yesterday's image.

A bit of spring in the air.

Happy weekend!

Window.

Sunshine - blue sky - quiet in town.
A window at the Cathedral, seen on todays walk.

Early morning walk.

Up and out for an EARLY morning walk today.
A bit of fog and snow.

Pine trees.

A sunny and cold winter weekend.
With a BIG dog at home there is no excuse for not getting up and out, even when it is -5C.

Longing for SPRING.

I am longing for SPRING.
Today we had +3C and just a few drops of rain.

Broken ice.

The ice is breaking.
Nice and cold Sunday walk today.

Heavy showers...

We have heavy showers...
I am so looking forward to see the BLUE sky again.

No PIGS in Stavanger???

Stavanger has more rain than snow.

Still we have a few days every year when it is chaos with ice, snow and lots of slippery roads.
We have a couple of choices of what type of winter wheels we should use on our cars.
If you are driving in to Stavanger or just through the city, heading north or south, and you have studded tyres,  you have to pay for a day pass or an annual fee to cover the new rules that forbid the use of "studded tyres" (or "piggdekk" as we call them) in Stavanger.

PIGG is STUD in English, and NOT A PIG.

Looking at the sign, it looks like we don't allow PIGS in Stavanger

Sounds funny, not only for foreigners, but also for us living here.
It looks like for the web address, someone has freely translated pigg-fri (stud free) into pig-free?

Morningwalk.

A glimpse from todays morning walk.

GOD HELG / Happy weekend!

Early morning.

Early morning, south of Stavanger.
Cold wind, +4C and a bit of sunshine.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
It is raining outside, and the snow from Saturday's walk, has probably soon all melted.
I just wanted to show you the pretty tree someone had decorated in the woods.

Explore new places and have a fun and happy 2018!

Snow again.

Snow again.
Fantastic to wake up to the white landscape.
Our dog was eager to go out for a walk.
Here is an image taken on the way to the woodland.
This is about 20 minutes from home, south of Stavanger.

Walking in the rain.

Relaxing days now, but with a big family dog, we have also been out for long walks in the rain.
Today is colder. Perhaps we will have some snow again.

This is an image from an area south of Stavanger.

Kongsgata.

The road KONGSGATA, next to the city park and the little lake Breiavatnet.

Out on the motorway.

Snow and beautiful landscape seen on E39

Sunday morning.

This is what the area St.Olav looked like this morning.
