a weekend in stockholm.

the only photos i took during my last month in Norway..

Stina

Sweden..

Paris...

Last week was my first visit to Paris & tho it was work-related i got to spend a whole week with friends, which made it feel more like a holiday really. We didnt think we would have much time at all to go and explore the city but while we were there we got determined to try and see as much as we could. I brought with me my diana camera and some 120 film.. will post those in the future. Paris was great. Big city life for a whole week was a bit too much for this small town girl, air and everything, so it was good to go home, too. but yeah. Paris. wow. Photo booths in every metro station, just to name one thing.

i love how most houses in Norway are painted white, inside and out.. here old fishermen houses and old small church in Stavanger.. so sweet!!

my neighborhood in Stavanger.

I never thought i would ever find myself living among tiny little islands, water, boats and mountains. enjoying while it lasts. :)

some days in the office..

Dublin.

oh well hell...o.

Dublin..

a few days in London...

It was really great to get away from everything in life and just go away for a few days just me and my sister. We've been to London a few times before, done different things, and this time we had a little more time than previous visits. I finally got time to go to the museum to see Sutton Hoo... we didnt have time to see all the things there cuz we arrived late, but i saw Sutton Hoo.. i really like those helmets! We also visited Barbican and walked around it. It looked a bit out of place, and a bit strange haha, but it was cool, and it felt heavy.

We were pretty stoked to see Battersea power station, the fact that it was a construction site at the time we were there wasnt fun but still, its a cool building. We walked a lot all over town, and only took the subway when we had to. That underground is a bit claustrophobic with no oxygen...and why i try to avoid it. Overall, big city air is not good for the skin! I really did miss the fresh scandinavian air! I did bring 135 film and will post the photos when i have found a place here in Norway to develop them.. *updated.

work trip to denmark.

work trip is always fun because it means i meet my dear friends who share the same work as i. we are not many but we are a great group. i havent been to a danish excavation before.. so this was a very nice trip. i brought my film camera but i need to find a place to develop the film here in norway.. so the photos might take a while before i post them.. until then!

and another thing... my flickr works again! hurray! i post all my film over there at jennyandflickr as well as here.

a week with this one...

My sweet sister visited me a few weeks ago and helped me moving flats. on our free day off, it was raining, so a great time to go looking at some architecture by the waterfront we thought! cuz we are not made of sugar.. we are nordic warriors.

visits..

some family came to see me for a week this May... we had puzzles and walked to preikestolen...man that was a scary place..! but the view was amazing!

happy holidays!

The town of stavanger doesnt have snow... but i can see snow on far away mountain tops...so all is good! and there are gingerbreads and swedish glögg in norway, so all is good, too! i have only decorated my apartment with clementines, because im going to sweden over the holidays, so no point. Ive bought norwegian wool called "viking" to make wrist warmers for when i work.

the museum in stavanger is great, for the following reasons...

skeleton! and a very astrid lindgren house look. which is my absolute favorite. love it.

At Tingvellir you can spot both the american continental plate and the european continental plate on each side of the valley. pretty darn cool if you ask me!
