Getting of the tram.

moblog going to oslo

Taking the tram in to Oslo.

a green tree in winter

Well, it's green all year around.

But still. Spring's coming!

the little man at lunch

Welcome. Remember to cleanse your hands, ye sinners.

Or just grab a tray and something to eat. Whatever.

foggy evening

Foggy is good, isn't it?

Means it's getting warmer, or am I wrong?

waiting for its master

A husky (?) outside the grocery store.

Or is it a wolf in the city?

the slope

Kolsås, Wednesday evening.

Where's everyone?

the fjord this afternoon

Sunshine and mist.

And snow. Of course.

i keep a close watch on these kids of mine

The first graders walk in line, guarded/guided by parents.

Things you see from the home office.

the good shoes

Shoes for a good artifical turf pitch:

Shoes for a bad artifical turf pitch:

Only the best is good enough. Stabæk and Adidas is a perfect match.

the old landing strip

Now: The Temple of telecom.

Before: FBU Airport (closed down in '98).

the pavement's so slippery i gotta wear skates

Walking to work is risky business.

Icy ground and blinded by the light.

the morning this morning

Out to get the newspaper.

Wake up world! It's gonna be another sunny winter's day.

do you remember the abandoned polish car?

After many months it's finally beginning to emerge from the beneath the snow.

Registration number: 79 34 NC

What will happen next? Will the owner return (from hibernation) or will it be towed away?

the triple barred cross

On my way home. I lift up my eyes. A papal cross in the neighbourhood.

Holy trinity, Batman!

crossing the pond and live to tell

Someone dared to ski across the small pond.

Luckily the ice didn't break. In a couple of more days with degrees above zero I'm not so sure.

the now is so bright

Today i just had to wear my Ray Bans.

The Oslo Fjord, late February.

starting the day at the home office

Apple and sunshine!

Could have been a lot worse :)

out driving again

Road in late winter. Jar/Stabæk. 4.50 PM.

It's getting brighter and brighter.

drible the shadow

Football practice on the artificial turf at Nadderud.

A green day.

wall of snow and artificial grass

It's beginning to look like spring.

Late February, Nadderud.

welcome to a sunny day

Plus 2 degrees.

Birds are singing. March is just around the corner. A happy day!

the birdsong is back

You can't see them, but I heard them.

The birds sing again. Spring's coming.

crossing a border

From Norway to Sweden.

2,5 hours later we went back.

The guest house:

And the shed:

In 3-4 months the kids will be playing football on the grass (where it's snow right now).

summer cabin in winter 2

There it is.

By the way – it was very cold inside.

summer cabin in winter

A short visit to the summer cabin.

Where is it? Is it hiding in the snow?

rubber ducks

Same family. Different shapes and sizes.

Which one's the original?

a red plastic guitar

Perfect for bathroom concerts.

We wet wet.

get your passport while you book your next vacation

A new business model for the police: A combined passport- and booking-service.

Or has it something to do with booking criminals (expecting them to turn up some by themselves).

Remember the waiting ticket – who's first in line...?

call the police

Early trip to the police office.

Nothing serious, Just to fget a new passport for K.

my father is stronger than yours – he's iron man

Batboy, I am your father.

And yours too, Batgirl.

I'm so proud of you both, mini-irons. Go kick some asss.

a wall of roses

Valentine's Day was ages ago. But the decoration is still there.

One week – an eternity. Roses won't change a thing.

a quick rest before leaving

She had left her cup on the table.

Who is she?

a magic place

Snow and sun. Makes you happy.

And results in beautiful pictures.

morning fire

Went out to fetch the morning paper.

Cool sky. Hello Thursday.

yellow cross on blue

The Swedish flag (mini-version). Not to annoy the neighbours (the Nordic World Ski Championships hasn't started yet).

But because it's my birthday. A beautiful and sunny day.

Yes, I've been a good boy all year.

the oslo fjord

It's not the most famous or picturesque of the many Norwegian fjords, but it's mine.

My fair fjord.

winter shortcut

Through the snow.

I follow the people who led the way.

the afternoon sun

The Temple of telecom on a bright winter's day.

Nice lines.

gate in winter

So many things to see and reflexions to make.

Why this entrance? Just for pedestrians and people on bikes? Don't think so. What was here before? For whom was it built?

today is my birthday

Gifts and baloons.

A Gangnam Style tootbrush. My life is complete.
