Third Week

Nobody laughed at him.
I think the people here are very individualistic. Everyone just does as he/ she wants - without harming others.

Just as this funny man.

- Even the age does not play a role. I could just smile when I saw the energy, self-confidence and enthusiasm the singer radiated.
He joked and walked around, people of all age laughed and let the rhythm move their bodies,...

And in the evening again a concert in the city center. This is really common here. They have a lot of festivals.
What you can't see is how relaxed the people deal with the music:
- The man, who works with the cement bags in the foreground is moving in the rhythm of the music.

Here the Norwegian "Moltebeere". When it is ripe it turns yellow and is very soft. I think it tastes a bit like apple sauce.



oSome impressions from the top.

That's how the peaks of the mountains are marked: with a heap of stones.
Thank you, Micha, for the bag for the bike! It's really enjoyable not to sweat on the back all the time.

In the middle of nowhere: a house.
That's how it is here. Every family has enough space and distance from the next neighbor.
I know, who would like that...

The region is known for its lakes, mountais, hiking paths and beautiful views.

This was on sunday. An Italian friend and me discovered the region (Bymarka) west of Trondheim by bike.
Without gears this is not possible...



After this exciting trip, I needed some movement. Sio, I decided to go swimming.
This is my favorite swimming lake. I go there very very often. Because one can never know how long the weather will be so sunny and warm.
It is not far from my home - maybe 20 minutes by bike. A little bit up in the mountains, in the forest. Very calm.

Coming back from the mountains to the valley.

And in between the musk oxes whith the proper way of clothing.
In some trees, I even found a piece of their wool - very soft. It is said to be one of the most expensive wools.



And especially because of this, it is even more amazing how some plants can grow here.


This picture illustrates how rough, barren and forlon the landscape can be here.

Here, we were on a "musk ox safari" (saturday, 7th of August). Sounds exciting. In fact, there wasn't so much about safari... It seemed more like a rather gentle "promenade".

And in the evening, everything looks most wonderful.

In general, the clouds fascinate me.
Weather can change so fast. As this strong rainfall which approaches here.

The picture was taken on the Dragvoll campus.
In fact, it's a quite normal sculpture, but to me the constellation with the clouds had something impressive.
