Advent

The last Sunday in November and the first of four

Advent Sundays this year.

The Christmas Decorations Are Out

The popular foot bridge by Beddingen and Solsiden shopping center is all decked out for the holidays.

During spring and summer we find flowers in the numerous "window boxes" alongside both railings. Quite the treat acually.

The Stars Are Out

Starry, starry night.

Paint your palette blue and gray...

Catch the breeze and the winter chills,

in colours on the snowy linen land...

From the lyrics by Don Mclean

Premature - Way Too Soon...

Way too early to see these figurines sitting on a cardboard box just unpacked and brought in from the warehouse

Before Winter

While waiting for a blanket of snow....

Restoring the Cathedral

This fellow rests (?) outside the workshops as a reminder and teaser, I'd like to think. What tremendous jobs these people do; preserving, restoring and showing us the treasure that the Cathedral is and holds.

In the Distance

If we are facing the right direction,

all we have to do is keep walking.

-Buddist saying

Frostcovered Roses

Too late for smelling the roses and almost time for winter boots

Frost On The Grounds

Crisp morning air. The brightest of sunshine. The end. And a new beginning.

Autumn In Piles

Tempting just to throw yourself into the piles. I contain myself and make sure I walk through the piles to get the feel and hear the sound of the abundance of leaves.

Beams Through Glass

in a store window at night

Misty Waters

Evening Fog

... at the cemetary by Nidaros Cathedral.

The kind of fog that clings to your skin...

Reflections

memories light the corners of my mind

minsty water, colored memories

Morning Fog

Beyond recognition... early Saturday morning while the city and you were still sleeping...
