Stavanger Aftenblad Newspaper

Almost two years ago I showed a big hole beside the St. Petri Church (left in picture) and Aftenbladet building. Now the hole is filled with the newspapers media department. All is not finished, but give it a few months and it will be very attractive. Here is another photo before.

Small Pond

This is a small pond on top of the railway station. The statue desspict a woman and a swan. It is a peaceful place to sit, it is behind the historical building and next to an art gallery.

Steinhagen Barnehage

This is a lovely kindergarden (barnehage) in Stavanger. It is a nice place for your children to spend their day.

Wooden Boat in Ramsvig Marina

Here is another beautiful wooden sail boat in a local marina. Much work to keep it as beautiful as this, but some people love to do the maintanance on sunny days in spring. Now it is getting colder, but still many sweet days to hit the fjords for a sailing day.

Ramadhan Meal

A group of people from Aceh (one of many tribes in Indonesia) celebrated and broke fast together. They borrowed a local publicly owned house used for social gatherings next to the Brodd Football place. I was there and the food were just wonderful. I hope they invite me again........

Steinaldermannen

The stonage man (steinaldermannen) is a sculpture in Randaberg. A cave is found nearby where they supposedly lived 8-10.000 years ago.

Another View in Tananger Harbour

Many practical motor boats are moored here, ready to go out fishing or just for the trip. Salt sea air is so refreshing.

Waiting to Sail

This pretty wooden boat, ketch rigged, is moored in Tananger harbour.

In Remembrance

This statue close to Mosvatnet are made in remembrance of those that lost their lives in the Second World War. It is made so one can sits and remembers dear ones and also contemplate the horror of war and the sacrifice people do for others.

House on the Hill

A lovely house on a small hill. Look at that garden, a lot of works and loving care have gone into it. So beautiful and such a blessing to us that pass by.

A Country Lane at Finnestad

Lovely view, but I miss the sidewalks. But more and more places the Commune make small roads for bicycling and walking away from the main road.

Tasta View

Here is pretty view from Tasta towards Hundvåg. The fjords outside Stavanger is ideal for boating. Here is one of the hundreds of sailboats coming out for a quiet afternoon.

Finnestad Bedehus

Finnestad Bedehus (Finnestad Bethel) is located in Dusavika. They have many groups like Sundays school, hobby groups, bible study, children choir and man and female association. I'm sure you are welcome to any of their activities.

More Lanscape at Finnestad

Green fields and open sky, to me this is a very comforting view. Eventhough most of the food eaten in Norway is imported it is good to know that are still fields to be utilized for food production come a crisis.

Lanscape at Finnestad

Finnestad is an area just North of Stavanger. It used to be a few farms there but now a lot of the area is taking by private homes and companies. Especially towards the sea there is a harbour for North Sea use, Risavik Base.

There is still a lot of farm lands in this area, and this is one of them.

I have photographed this area especially for Michael Finnestad from Colorado, USA.

Happy Sunday

Sun is shining today and it makes me happy. And I hope this flower will brighten up your day too.

Lighthouse in Tananger

Along the jetty some nice boats are moored. The small lighthouse is showing the seafarers the way. Behind the small hill is the ocean, the North Sea.

Kiosk

Here you can buy freshly caught and boiled crabs. You can sit along the key and eat and enjoy. So take a trip to Tananger and eat crabs and schrimps.

House Series # 50

This lovely house I found while walking around the harbour. Very cute and well maintained. People like living in Tananger very much, few leave, and for those that like fishing and have a boat it is the best place to live.

Hummeren Hotell

Hummeren Hotell (The Lobster Hotel) is also located in Tananger. It serves fresh seafood and has a very good location.

Tananger Marina

This lovely marina is located in Tananger. Just outside is the North Sea, so the sea can be rough. Plenty wind for sailboats, and good fun. The houses are apartments built in the style of seahouses.

House Series # 49

A grand wooden house in Tananger (a local center 7 km out of Stavanger). The house has a nice view towards the bay. The following days I will show you more pictures of this beautiful place called Tananger.

Garbage System (Rubbish Skips)

From now on we sort and throw our garbage in those four hatches. This is a newest system, where it gives signal when the box beneath need to be emptied. It is clean and efficient. This system is popping up all over Stavanger.

Cemetery

This cemetary is located right beside the church of my yesterday's post. It is a neat and well kept cemetary.

Nice Church

A picturesque wooden church in Randaberg. Similar design you can find in many places in Norway.

Apartment Series # 25

Some nice apartments in Randaberg. The building looks well kept and it is very easy way to live in such a place.

Nice Yard

This is a little "dukkehus" (dollhouse) as we call it in Norway. It is made so the children can play and serve each other like a family. It is lots of fun at a certain age, and inside they are filled with sweet things and small plates and tea-sets. So bring your little daughters and ask if they can play.

Randaberg Library

Randaberg Library (bibliotek) is found in the community center. Libraries are a wonderful thing, as books can change a person's soul.
