New film.





















I will never forget what happened here in Norway on July 22. 2011
69 people lost their lives on the island. Total 77 people.
A Norwegian man had planned and carried out these two evil attacks by himself.


This week a new Norwegian film had it's premier, and the film is about what happened at UTØYA, the island where so many young people lost their lives.

People are saying that this is a strong film.

I have not seen it. I guess the intense marketing, with posters perhaps in all bus shelters, will make this a film that many will go and see.

"OH MY GOD" is a play that will be at our local Theatre from September 2012.
These days I just read it when passing by.....

Today we have had memorial services many places around in our country.
It is one year since we had the worst terror action since the 2nd world war.
77 people lost their lives on July 22nd 2011

This is my photo, - one of more than 3600 photos of flowers from all over Norway have been sent to a national newspaper. If you take a look at http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/07/28/nyheter/innenriks/terror/utoya/17485237/
you will see a picture of a rose that is made up from all of these individual photographs.
You can also zoom in to see the individual pictures.

The roses will be turned in to the soil, the cards will be collected at the state archive.
Not since king Olav died, back in 1991, has there been so many flowers, candles and cards.

I wanted to share more than just one picture tonight.

Tonight more than 75,000 people turned up for a "fakkeltog", a parade with burning torches starting at the cathedral and progressing around the lake Breivatnet.
This was for people to pay their respects to those who died in the terrible events that occurred in Oslo and on the island Utøya last Friday.
Many people brought flowers which were placed on the lake.

We woke up this morning and heard that more than 80 young people had been found dead on the island. More people missing both there and at the government building in central Oslo.
Our thought goes to all those who have lost their loved ones, either family or friends!

Many things have been closed, concerts, sports activities and other events.
Programs on TV are news, and a few children programs.
We are a small country, and we will will manage, but it will take some time I guess.

Thank you everyone, for your kind comments!

A very sad and dramatic day for us in Norway today.
Life will most certainly change.
