The Big Norwegian Humour Festival started last night.

Take a look at http://www.humorfestivalen.no and http://www.folken.no

It is an annual event and this is the 17th festival. But it is the first time that the students have been a part of the Festival.

There is a lot of stand-up comedy, cabaret and concerts both in our city, Sandnes and Egersund.

I was at “Folken” tonight, a house/stage where students had a show called “Nymalt”

Directly translated “Newly painted”.

Many artists have been discovered there, and who knows, there might have been some people in the audience looking for new talent. 

Fredrik Brimsø and 7 other students had a brilliant show! 

Well done!:-)

This is my favorite place for buying/ordering flowers!

The people working there are so creative and service minded. It is also a place to just be inspired by simple things as well as extraordinary items and flowers. Check out their webpage, http://www.solvberget-blomster.no and click on the word "Blogg", where you will find lots of nice photos.

It is based very central, just behind the Culture house.

Norway is a very long country, and people living up in the north woke up to a reasonable amount of SNOW this morning!

In Stavanger we have had non stop rain.

The days are getting shorter. It is time to start using woolen cloths, and test out my new Wellingtons....

Lots of lights, colorful candles, books to read, music and other good things necessary in the weeks to come....

The photo shows a glimpse of light coming through a window at the Cathedral.

Norwegian child labor.

Forget sending them up chimneys and so on, here we use them as pilots!

This is Mariéll age 10 and Hedda age 11 who were on their way to Oslo.

Okay, I took this photo inside the 737 Simulator at the "Historical Aviation Museum" near the airport.

Great excitement no matter what age.

In the summer the museum is open every day. The rest of the year it is open for the public on Sundays.

Companies sometimes use it for part of their team-building courses.

This is also Stavanger Daily Photo's 100th posting

This is CHARLOTTE from Kristiansund. (A city quite a distance further north in Norway.)

She had come to Stavanger and then taken the bus and boat journey to Sand, where she had picked up little CAESAR, a miniature Pinscher, only 8 weeks old and not more than 1,6 kilo's.

He was cute, excited and very happy!

They had spent many hours traveling, and late last night they were waiting for the last part of their journey, a flight back to Kristiansund.

All the best to both of you!! :-)

Who was surprised, me or them??

Luckily I had the little camera in my pocket....

Well, this is taken at Sørmarka, the largest wooded/outdoor area in Stavanger.

There are approximately 8 km. with paths that are also lit at night.

It is a nice place to go for walks, and those who are more sporty go cycling and jogging here.

There is a tower; “Ullandhaug”, that is 137m above sea level, and nearby this, there is a hill that is nice for skiing when and if we have snow in the winter.

I have only seen deer a few times. This photo was taken fairly close to houses in the Hinna / Vaulen area.

Today, I have picked a photo taken exactly one year ago. As you see,- the sky was BLUE.

My husband, together with three other men own this Cherokee light aircraft.

None of them work in the aviation industry. But when the weather is nice, not much is better than being up in the air.

I “work as a co-pilot” and have been to Haugesund, Stord, Bergen, Sandane, Kristiansand and to Aalborg in Denmark. To see the mountains, fjords, glaciers and landscape as it is on a sunny day, is just magic!!
