Sunrise

When I woke up this morning I saw the sunrise so beautiful as when it is just peaking over the sea. This is one of God's most beautiful creations.

Branches towards the Sun

This tree is really stretching its branches towards the sun. The leaves are growing and the tree is gently rocking in the wind. Today is a good day to be a tree.

Lighthouse in Emmaus


Lighthouse

A cool spring night.
A gentle breeze blowing off the water.
I hear the breaking waves.
On the shore, the evergreen trees are standing lofty and proud,
their tops almost seem to touch the sky.
The lighthouse is in the distance tall and regal,
with a light shining, a beacon in the dark night.
The moon is just rising.
I hear the sounds of the ships calling to
each other in the silvery, yet black night.
The lighthouse is guiding them home,
through the dark spring sea.

Houses Series # 9

Here are two more houses in Risbakken. Little bit different style both, personally I like the one on the left a bit better. The street is quiet and close to town, nice place to live.

Tananger Bridge

This bridge goes over to Tananger from Stavanger. It is a narrow straight of water, my husband travel over it every day to work. It has a nice view and the surrounding area is nice to live in.

Red is the Rose

This rose came out of the fence as if it stretched its neck and wanted to say hello.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Joyful Saturday

This bench lend itself for a little rest during your walk or a quiet meditation on a stressful day. We use it for keeping our clothes when my hubby and children go swimming on the beach.

Doorway # 7

I do like fanciful doors, I can't help it. This is another one that got my attention. Doors and doorways have so many symbolic meaning as well.

Lekeplass # 5

Another playground located in Rosenli near this beach and right behind this apartment. I like to bring my daughters playing here if the weather is nice.

Take a Stroll on a Quiet Path

"There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast."

~ Paul Scott Mowrer ~

Kolonihage

I have posted the photo about this place before. People hire a small plot from the Commune and grow vegetables, fruits and flowers. They are allowed to put up a small house max 25 m2 and some stay there during summer, or visit in afternoons and weekends. It is very cosy and good for children.

And this time I will show you the place where they sell waffles, tea, coffee or soft drink every Sundays from May until September each year. So yesterday we went here as usual before going to the beach to swim.

Selling Eggs and Vegetables

Four days ago I have posted a photo of people selling flowers. This one is selling eggs and vegetables. The prices are cheaper than in a supermarket. I prefer buying eggs here.

Yellow Flower

I saw this flower in my neighbour's garden and I felt an urge to take a photo of it. I don't know its name but to me it's a pretty yellow flower.

Houses Series # 8

Another three houses South of Ullandhaug tower. This area is still not far from the town and all its amenities. A great place for the children to grow up and run wild.
