Rain Stopped Play

I have a confession to make. As I wrote last week I was going to the Bi-annual Viking market at a local town. However the weather beat us back even before we got half-way. The heavens opened and, we had torrential rain. So we beat the retreat and will try again in two years time. Until then this is a shot I took 4 years ago at the same event. Vikings waiting to go into battle …once health and safety checked that the grass wasn’t too wet :0)

Living in Norway as I do there aren’t many days go by without some hint to the Vikings and Norwegian heritage. When you read this I will have hopefully attended the bi-annual Viking market in a local town. This fellow sold smoked salts of all kind.

Anyone that purposely runs into a burning building to make a living is a hero in my book. This wonderful Firefighters memorial stands not far from the Egg in Albany NY. What a great way to remember what these men and women do for us each and every day.

A bit late but for those that don’t know, the17th of May is Norway’s national Day. It’s a big kids party with street parades and marching bands and lots of flag waving. Many wear their national costume like this lady.

I was on a Business trip to Albany NY this week. I got 15 mins between meetings to run around and take some snaps. My hotel was very near the Egg which is a concert hall I believe. It looks like a UFO from all angles . I like the contrasts in this shot. The curve of the Egg and the striaight edges of the other buildings

Meet my son Patrick. He’s studying TV and Video production at a local High school (Read College.) This was taken on the last day of school for this year. He had just returned home from  Los Angeles and San Fransisco.He’s won a scholarship for his studies next year so that takes the financial weight off somewhat. He has already done work for National TV and a national newspapers web TV. Who knows what the future holds 🙂

This as regular readers of Monochromia will notice is my daughter taking part in this years student parade. It’s tradition to stay up all night following up to the parade and party hard. Oh to be young again :0)
