A souvenir my way comes.

The Tour of Norway passed close to my doorstep on Wednesday this week. Being I am a big cycling fan I placed myself where I knew they would have to take a sharp lefthand turn. I lay in the grass with my camera ready and shot off a load of images. After the leaders and the main Peloton had blasted past a straggler from the Uno-X team came into view. He threw his empty bottle away and that was my souvenir of the day…plus this shot. So whomever you were (I didn’t get your number) thank you.

17th of May

Yes next week it’ll be the 17th of May, National Day. For one day the whole of Norway is in party mood. Parades, National dress, ice cream, marching bands, and waving royalty, the whole works. It’s always fun to watch with everyone in their finery.

So Think of Norway on the 17th, and maybe raise a glass to celebrate with us.

My son and daughter playing on a beach in the far north of Norway. A beautiful summers day with ice cold water.

Ps. This shot actually got published in a book here in Norway about Children and their relationships with nature.

Tonight when you read this  I’ll be at a Burns Night supper. I thought I’d share this shot of me, kilted out hill walking in the hills near my home here in Norway. Taken before “Selfie” was a word. The camera was on a pocket tripod and self-timer.

Seems a bit late. However there is a song in Norwegian and Swedish that will tell you that “Christmas lasts all the way to Easter”. I’m glad it doesn’t my waistline couldn’t cope.

Happy New Year dear readers and co-contributers.
