simple and brilliant design

Seamless design.


Absolutely marvellous.

the ents of old fredrikstad

"You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say."





Majestic trees ready to march. With rock and stone.


merry may-mas

Christmas in summer. And we're not even down under. But in Fredrikstad, Norway.



What's happening? Has everyone gone insanta?

no time for a swim

Too cold anyway...






Again – a place that is usually crowded, but today I was almost alone. I like the behind the scenes-feeling.

pit stop

A quick check in at the cottage before moving on.



All set for summer.

driving south today

On my way to Fredrikstad I passed some picturesque villages.


A summer paradise no doubt.

when everyone's gone

I 've always had a thing for empty places that are usually crowded. Like the school yard.


"Behind the scenes" - is there life without people?

starstruck

Yianna Katsoulos liked my post on Tumblr.


Je suis flatté. Les autres son jaloux.


in the midst of a crater

Or a kettle.


A blue, somewhat cloudy Wednesday morning.


two roads diverge

Once again I have to choose; to water or work.


And once again I end up on the road less traveled.
To work paradoxically enough.

a new discovery

Discovered a path at work today that I had neglected to explore.


Perfect for a short (or long, if you prefer that) break.


foot in the air, back on a bench

An after-work powernap.


I close my eyes and imagine a beach.


watching water

Today at 5.30 PM. Watching water while waiting for a ride home.






+ 22 degrees. Life could be a lot worse.

one two tree

All of a sudden this became a tree blog.


Here's the neighbour's towering chestnut tree.

seymour hoffman delivers the truth

The Count: You know, a few months ago, I made a terrible mistake. I realized something, and instead of crushing the thought the moment it came I... I let it hang on, and now I know it to be true. And I'm afraid it's stuck in my head forever. These are the best days of our lives. It's a terrible thing to know, but I know it. ("The Boat That Rocked")


Watched it again on TV yesterday, reflected on life, opened a can of beer.
Me and all the other music-loving 40 somethings out there.

smell the web

You should be able to activate all senses while surfing.


At least on a day like this. An early summer's day after light rain. Lovely.

on a winning path

The V-tree. V for victory.


The road to success is straight ahead.

summer evenings never end

Evening practice on the artificial turf at Jar School.


You can play all night. It doesn't get dark until 11 PM.
Oh, those summer nights.

let's kick the old skull around

Can you spot the football?


Looks like a flying skull.


newstrash

Old news.


A waste of time.

cables in the sky

Polluting the environment with low hanging cables.


Drammen, Norway.

oh so good

Peter Osgood.


Never saw him play, but love the name. Just like George Best, Bobby Moore, Kevin Keegan, Charlie George, Gordon Banks, Ian Rush and many others. Names predestined for football fame.

always something to complain about

Sun is shining. Again. Finally.


But now the green leaves are covering my fjord view. Autumn where are you? Just kidding.
