This is just a quick snapshot....but it shows that we have demonstrations here in Stavanger too.
This was a protest against returning a man back to Turkey. He claims he is in danger in his homeland and had been living here for years.
Norway is a welfare state, and of course we should help when UN send refuges, but there are also far too many who have been living here illegally for years!
The media are following the cases where friends/supporters invite TV/newspapers and famous artists, but other cases get little coverage.
Tonights artist was the man in yellow trousers, on the very left with the guitar, Ole Paus, who had come over from Oslo.
I feel sorry for many refuges, but then again, we rarely understand all of the truth and the circumstances behind these stories. I do believe though, that in many cases, those who need help the most, are often those who are in the weakest position to actually get that help.

Do you see these two young lads crossing over the ice on the water?
One of them ended up with one leg in the cold water....
They probably forgot to read the signs along the path.
I think he got a bit embarrassed, and he was not old enough to be photographed without his parents permission ..... so I dropped the action shot, and therefore show you "the peace and harmony" just BEFORE the accident.

Another building.
This time from the Rudolf Steiner school.
I think this is the building that the youngest kids use.
(Perhaps a kindergarden?)
Nice shapes, and quite different from most other schools.

My posting number 601, - non - stop!:)

I passed this house today, and stopped to look at the decorated wall.
Perhaps there are some creative people living here, who also like to collect plates when they are on holidays? Some plates are perhaps from Greece or Spain?
Enlarge the photo.

"Deli de Luca" is a fairly new place in Stavanger for coffees and plenty of "comfort eating food".
Melissa, is the young woman you see here with some of the Yummy food.
I bought a coffee and a newspaper, -but will be back and try something sweet another time.

Todays petrol and diesel prices.....
Norwegian kroner that is.
Petrol is becoming more and more expensive quite quickly.
