Hanukka-feiring ved Jødisk Museum i Oslo.

SkyWatch Friday.

All these pictures are taken yesterday.   Threee of them in the series of Sødra Cell cellulose factories, which is the pittoresque view from our house.  The first of them was the last taken, just before the sun disappeared.

The moon pictures is from last night.

(I had a little trouble with the tecnique to get them in right order - the two last is in right order to each other.)

SkyWatch Friday.

Here is my contribution for this week's skywatch.  Both of them taken from my veranda.   The first one yesterday, the second today - as the sun is disappearing behind the hills a little past 3 o'clock p.m.

The big clouds on the first picture is NOT smoke from the factory!!  (Just a little down to the left.)

Happy Skywatch everyone!

Taken on our afternoon walk along the seaside last Sunday:

SkyWatch Friday.

Last Saturday we had a necessary errand in Drøbak, a small town in our neighbourhood. There was a beautiful fall day, and we took a walk along the seaside in the city. You see the Oslofjorden against the North, the seaway towards Oslo.

This was taken to-day's afternoon, just as the sun had disappeared behind the hill to the right. The now famous view from our veranda.

A little earlier this afternoon I noticed a helicopter sounding nearby, and found this one standing absolute calm in the air. Someone hanging in a line and obviously doing a work on the pylon beneath. Fascinating!

Happy Skywatch everyone!

SkyWatch Friday.

This week we have followed the Fiest of Tabernacle in Jerusalem by television. My mother-in-law is there with a Norwegian group right now. It is her first time in Israel, and she is so exited. This picture, taken from within The Citadel in Jerusalem, we took on our last visit there early in 2008. Now we are longing to go back there as soon as we can.




This is the beautiful full moon we could enjoy last Saturday: taken not far from our house.

SkyWatch Friday

Last Saturday we went to Frognerseteren together with our eldest daughter who at the present is patient on Rikshospitalet (The main hospital in Norway) for a medical examination of her disase (Bechets syndrome). It was a very beautiful day, making good for all of us.

The profile of the restaurant against the sky.

This is the view from our sitting place outside the restaurant, looking over Oslo city and fjord.

And on our way down from the hill we could watch the construction of the new Holmenkollen arena for skijumping.

Søndagsglede.

Først et besøk i Holmsbu kirke.

Så en tur med kano på Røskestadvannet.

SkyWatch Friday.

This time I want to share some pictures taken on my 50 years anniversary from primary school in Trondheim last week-end.
The first one is from the old harbour buildings along the river Nidelven, floating through the city.

The second is in Ravnkloa, the old fish harbour - and now location for the tourist boat to Munkholmen (an island) nearby. The statue is named: The last viking.

Seagulls in Ravnkloa.

The tower of Værnes airport at my return back home.
Here is my home place, seen from the sky, as I soon was to land at Rygge Airport.

Thank you for your company on the journey!

I bring my camera with me, and want to make a report when I'm back home!

SkyWatch Friday No. 59

Last Sunday, on my way to Stavern I was met by this scenario in the Sande bay (Sandebukta). Of course I had to stop and get it preserved for posterity! A good start on the day when my son was appointed new pastor in a Free Church in Larvik. He is "only" 29 years old, so it is a great challenge for him. But he loves living in a congregation!


This is the assembly room of the congregation. The text sounds: God is love.
How wonderful to serve such a God! :

SkyWatch No. 58

This first picture I took by a visit to Vegusdal, Sørlandet, some weeks ago.


The last one was taken tuesday this week, in the afternoon by Filtvedt brygge. A real windy and rainy day, also with light and thunder!

SkyWatch Friday No. 57

This afternoon we drove to catch up our grandson on the ferry. He is going to stay by us until Sunday. On the way home this sky was in the sight to the southeast. The weather has been changing a lot today. I had not brought my camera, so I urged my husband to take some shots with his telephone camera. The result was not bad?!

Happy SkyWatch everyone!

SkyWatch Friday no. 55.

An afternoon last week I suddenly got aware of this thick bluegrey carpet all over the sky to the south, making a great view of the smoke from the cellulose factory in our nabourhood. Of course I had to catch it with my camera. This one is zoomed a little.

Today the weathercasting announced we would get 14 mm rain during the afternoon. And I think we must have got it, in a few portions. This is the first one, which I catched through my window. Not very often it rains that much in one day here!

Happy skywatch everyone!

Congratulations to my little brother Helge, 60 years old yesterday!

His four sisters with husbands came from Tromsø in the North to Denmark in the South to celebrate our dear, nice, handsome little-/big-brother, Helge - in his home in Oslo.

His dear wife, Anne, had made this gorgious and welltasting cake as well as the whole menu (assisted by her husband of course).

Thank you Helge and Anne for a memorable evening!!!!

SkyWatch Friday No. 52

A windy summer day at Tofte, Hurum (south in Oslofjorden) yesterday, taken with my husbands mobile phone, as we were aout for a swimming trip. The place is about 5 minute's drive from our new house. The view is against Vestfold across the fjord. The second picture shows a closed factory of wood chemistry (?). Still one factory remaining, as you see from the last picture taken some days earlier from our veranda to the South, with my Samsung S730.

SkyWatch Friday No. 51.

The last 1 1/2 week we had the most beautiful summer weather. These two pictures are taken on Nesodden (outside Oslo) some days ago, about 10.30 p.m. from my mother-in-law's veranda - after a nice swimming trip in Solbukta . We really enjoy this weather, not many days a year of it. We struggle a bit with the heat, so we have to go swimming!

SkyWatch Friday No. 50

These pictures were taken on a boat trip from Nesodden to Oslo - on the Oslofjorden - last Tuesday. Beautiful summer day and a beautiful journey!
