(This photo is taken 06.40 in the morning..... )

As at Pisa in Italy, we have our own "leaning tower" here in Stavanger, well, a suburb called Hinna.

The tower is 50 meters high, and it leans three times as much as the famous Italian one.
I have only been up there once.
It was built as part of the oil industry, to prove the technology for building large columns at an angle and with different thicknesses.....
These days there is a lot of building activity going on in the area near to the tower.
Many new flats are being built on the right hand side, and many people have already moved in.
Some have a nice view, and some probably can't see more than straight in to their neighbours flat.

Just the way every Saturday morning in the summer should be.
The photo is taken outside the culture house.

This is another photo from the most colorful little street in Stavanger.
I have really enjoyed all the baskets with flowers all over the city.
Have a nice weekend!

A statue in Stavanger.
Seriously, I didn't take any notice of this statue until one day some years back, when I saw several foreign sailors lined up around it, who were going to have a group photo taken.
I must have been asleep at school!? But now I know the story behind it, and the best way to let you get the information  is to follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Cruys

I suddenly thought that I should show some real Norwegian products. 

Today I took a photo in Stavanger, at the shop "Oleana". Colorful  clothes etc. with the same name.
This is a company that has been in the market for 16 years, and has become quite international too.
They have a nice and informative webpage, so please check it out.

This is just a part of a tug boat...
I liked the lines, details and colors...
And COLORS are especially important for me on a day when the weather is grey and rainy.
