Colorful autumn

1.10. sunset at the ocean nearby (maybe half an hour by bike).

And one more impression from the student village in Moholt.
... most of the children here are blond...

For example, this snow pillow - filled with an anti-freeze. The pressure difference (due to the snow on it) is recorded with a pressure cell.
Maybe also comfortable for sleeping?...

They have the normal equipment (temp., wind, precipitation, humidity, ... measurement tools here) and some special snow fall and snow denisty mesuring methods.

Way to the climate station...

Some of the last blueberries.



The girl I got to know about the excursion from asked me whether she should take some pictures of me. I would have forgotten that. But so you have them. ;-)

And this is another reason why I joined the excursion: the surrounding. The moss looks especially nice in autumn - so colorful and soft. :-)
They have the same moss here that we used for our model railway in the past...



They said this writer is rather old but still works since it is a German quality product.
But they also use pressure transfusers,..., generate electrical signals that are sent to NTNU campus so that they don't always have to come here to check the measurement results.


A v-shaped concrete metal weir is used to determine the water flow more accurate. Since the geometry of this v is known and the water depth is measured in the calm zone behind the weir, it is possible to calculate the water that flows out.

A girl I met told me about a hydrology excursion that she would take part in. That sounded interesting and so I went to the professor and asked if I could join.
You see the result of his answer. ;-)

They showed how they measure the input parameters for the hydrologic water balance.
Here for example the discharge measurement, i.e. the waterflow out of the catchment area of the river.
... in fact, the participation in excursions is a nice way to see different parts of the region... ;-)



During daytime this hut is opened.

The last evening sunshine from Estenstadhytta in the upper part of the forest.


... no matter how fast/ old you are.

This is further up in the forest. A nice place to go after the (working) day.

This is one view from the Dragvoll campus. In summer, I went very often to this forest to swim in the lake in the middle of it. Now, it is too cold for swimming. But therefore, there is this wonderful smell of straw and the warm late-summer sunshine instead of that.


And this is the fiew from the bridge towards the fjord.

I noticed that I didn't tell you about my impression when I visited the city center for the very first time. For me, it looked a bit like Venice, but cleaner and less crowded. At that day, a gondola was travelling down the river...
This is the bridge that you have to cross to reach the city center.

I just went through the city when I saw this... thing.
A "giga-"phone designed by architecture students from NTNU.

When I passed by and looked back, I saw something which is really typical for Norway. Nearly every second household has one: a great, big trampolin!
This is somewhere in Bymarka, a lake area west of Trondheim. First, I only saw this nice, calm and isolated house with the (very good and expensive) insolation on the roof.

Not far away from Trondheim. I went there after university when I felt the wish to see some autumn impressions...

It already starts... the trees are turning yellow and red.
This picture shows one of the fiews from the Gløshaugen campus.
