A trip out to Hå Gamle Prestegård today. Colorful art made by Gunvor Nervold Antonsen.

Yesterday I went to an exhibition with lots of modern stuff for homes......

But what I really enjoyed was walking around "Fretex" and seeing what people had managed to create out of things donated to the Salvation Army. Quite an eye catcher this chair !:)

I can feel the rain, wind and grey sky!

Good to see some splashes of colors!:)

The building is the tallest hotel in Stavanger, "Rica Forum", with a fantastic view from the bar/restaurant on the top floor. It is next to the famous conference centre in our city. Also close to an art museum and Mosvannet, which is a popular place for walks. This is about 5-10 minutes by bus/car in to the city centre.

Another evening shot from the center of the city, near to the fish market and what used to be THE market selling flowers,vegetables etc. This place is called Vågen, and is also a place where big events sometimes take place.

An area with nightclubs, bars and restaurants.

Most people keep inside now when the evenings are COLD.

But if you want to smoke, it is just like most places in Europe, you are not allowed to smoke in public buildings, you have to go outside.

It is time to put the winter wheels on the car.

This type of tyre is called "piggdekk", which means spiked tyre.

It is always very chaotic when snow or ice arrive.

We should all use winter tyres at this time of the year.

"Piggdekk" can be used from November 1. until the first Sunday after Easter.

Some people choose to use "all year round tyres" which do not have the spikes but are still better than normal summer tyres.

Cold, bright and sunny.

Snow on top of the mountains.
