Statue # 16

This statue is behind the Kampen school. It was a grandmother delivering her grandchild to school. Both seemed happy and excited. Maybe it was the first day of school.

Extending the Basement

This I find very interesting, they have taken away the big rocks surrounding the house and are now in the process of removing the rocks under the house. As you can see they have put pillars under one part of the house, and are in the process of chipping away this big rock.

They will have a grand basement when it is all finished.

Bucentaur Drilling Ship

The MV 'Bucentaur' is one of the worlds most experienced purpose built, class II dp geotechnical and scientific drilling vessels. Originally built in 1983 the 'Bucentaur' has recently undergone a series of extensive upgrades focussed on improving the safety and efficiency of operations as well as improving the technical capabilities of the ship. The 'Bucentaur' provides a large, stable platform capable of operating independently in remote regions around the world, deploying the full suite of Fugro specialist in-situ sampling and testing tools. The unique design of the 'Bucentaur' enables integrated investigation methods to be deployed during one survey program.

House Series # 58

A house in a hilly street in Kampen, as you can see they have extended everywhere so there is hardly any land left. But land means garden, means plants, means work. And as you know not everybody are into gardening. But the house looks good and is big with plenty rooms.

Statue # 15 - Happy Boy Statue

I found this statue outside Kampen school. He seemed so happy to go to school. And I feel blessed that I soon can send my own daughters to school. Many places in this world, there are children due to war and poverty, can not go to school. So sad.

Nice Neighborhood

This lovely playground is next to Kampen hill also. And the houses that you see are really well located. Think about it; a hill, a playground, and a quiet street, what better location for a house?

House Series # 57

Just below the Kampen hill, this house is located. I must say, the owner is really good to cut hedges.

Doorway # 8

I'm a bit slow today, because I was making birthday party to Bella. A friend helped make a lot of Indonesian food and I'm sitting here quite stuffed.

Anyway, this is a very nice doorway in the Kampen area. Walking the quiet street, there are always something to portray.

Apartment Series # 30

In this area there are many apartment blocks like this one. It is next to the NMS. The apartment are not so expensive and it is a popular place to live.

A View from Kampen Hill # 2

From here we looked into one of the fjords outside Stavanger. As you can see there is one island after the other and the mainland with mountains in the background.

A View from Kampen Hill # 1

We finally reached the top of the small hill, from here we were looking towards Kampen school that is the yellow building in the middle of the picture. This hill is very nice for the local children to play and run around.

We were still walking towards the hill in Kampen area. As you can see Stavanger is full of lovely and quiet streets.

This street is next to Kampen skole. The houses are well maintained and for those that like a quiet stroll this is another good place to go.

T.I.N.Y. the Children Shop

If you have small children this is a shop for you. I like the bright colours and the sweetlooking dresses.

A sweet florist in town. I like better cut flowers and decorations than plants in pots. I dont have a very romantic husband so little flowers come my way, ha ha.

Rainbow over Breivik

This wonderful rainbow I shot from my balcony. It always make me happy to see the rainbow. My husband told me that the Vikings thought the rainbow were a bridge to their heaven.

Hair & There

Hairdresser in town center, nice name I think. Nowadays there are so many hairdressers, and most are busy. So probably many go often since we are not that many people here.

Lovely Entrance

Here are a majestic entrance in town center. This is how an entrance should look like to my liking. Beautiful made in wood and glass, I hope even modern shops take lessons from this.
