Poking my nose "and camera" into an empty restaurant.

I liked the way they had arranged the table.

Yesterday as well as today, has been busy at the private (Rudolf) Steiner school and kindergarden where they hold the annual Christmas marked.

There were sales of hand made products, many nice and artistic gifts. Pupils as well as parents and teachers entertained visitors. I had my lovely "aebleskiver"... yummy!!:-) And had a little shopping tour around in the very special buildings. One day I will show you some photos of the architecture.

Saturday afternoon in one of the narrow little roads in the city centre.

As you can see we have got some decorations and lights up. The light issue has been discussed for weeks, on local TV and in the newspapers. Those who have the responsibility for arrangements and decorating in the centre have struggled to get the money, 400.000 Norwegian kroner that was necessary to cover the costs. But now that struggle is history. Now there is a competition to find the best decorated window. I will "keep walking" and take a proper look....

I have just arrived back from a film evening together with people at the Italian Culture group.

My Italian is not good, so it is essential for me to read the text in English.

Anyway, I do like Italian films....

The trailer you can see here:

This is PIER GIORGIO (half Italian ;-) and SILKE who is from Germany, but speaks Norwegian very well and also goes to Italian lessons.

I am pleased that our city has quite a few Culture groups!

It is amazing how many things I see while walking, instead of driving....

This is ART on a wall near the old Police Station, fairly close to the centre of the city.

Chris Stain is the artist.

I like looking.....

Today I passed a window that had this creative display.

About 8.30 this morning.

This is a road close to the city center, and there are many nice old houses around this area.
