A morning stroll in Bergen, without rain! Anita, Sam and I made a girls' weekend out event in Bergen.

Crystalline snow.

Sunset at Orrestrand Beach, south of Stavanger.

We gave up driving much further soon after this, when the snow and wind really picked up, and it was too hard to discern shapes any longer or variations of white, making it difficult to determine the road

View from Priekestolen.

Wintry day in Norway...

Here is an iced-over fjord.

This pond was not frozen, just completey and utterly s t i l l.....

Apparently farts are something far different in Norway and require public signage and installed dampeners....

Boat slips in Egersund, in southwest Norway.

Mirror lake near Flekkefjord.

This is just funny. These "shit" stickers are hidden all over town, and upon leaving for the airport en route to Singapore, I noticed a whole Shit shop. What gives? Something to figure out upon return.

Walk along the lake Breiavatnet

Leaning buildings in the old town center of Stavanger.

This is a different view of the harbor bridge, this time at sunset.

Really Gothic looking church with pruned trees.

This is the bridge over the harbor in Stavanger. It has a footpath going in each direction and is a great city walk.
