Before the snow

Novemberdikt
Hvis du kommer langt nok ut
får du se solen bare som en gnist
i et sluknende bål
hvis du kommer langt nok ut

Hvis du kommer langt nok ut
får du se hele Melkeveiens hjul
rulle bort på veier av natt
hvis du kommer langt nok ut

Hvis du kommer langt nok ut
får du se universet selv,
alle lysår - milliardenes summer av tid
bare som et lysglimt, like ensomt, like fjernt
som juninattens stjerne
hvis du kommer langt nok ut.

Og ennu, min venn, hvis du kommer langt nok ut
er du bare ved begynnelsen
- til deg selv.

Sildpollen stove

I went out to look at a advirtised second hand stove. It looked like shit so I turned it down. Great thing I brought my camera so that the trip wasn't a waste.

"The Viking Splash tour"

The last day we found out that we had to take one of the typically tourist-buses. Ok, it wasn't very typially. This was the Viking Splash Tour. We all had to wear viking helmets and roar at pedestrians on command. Fun thing, but maybe ot if you are travelling alone. Here are some shots from this tour.

The Viking valuta is whatever you may have in your garage.

The amphibie-bus suddenly drove into the sea. This is the house where most of the U2-music was created. Here with Bono's own seagull in front.

Local lads diving from an old ship into ..the dock? Shait!

And this is the ship where the lads were diving from.

Vikings returning to the land of the celts.
