December

The Christmas tree in the main library gives a warm and cosy feeling.

as well as in the windows of the houses of the local population. In Norway, David's star is much more popular than lightbows, which are widespread in Germany.

And now Christmas time approaches - one can see and feel it in the student villages

The city looks calm when covered by snow and the darkness of the night.

as well as the post box.

And even if it is dark, everything still looks beautiful. The simple house

And even the dogs wear high-visibility clothing or flashing lights.

People with high-visibility clothing and sticks.

But Norwegians know how to adapt to the winter conditions. One meets grandmothers with sledges in the street.


And sunset is in the early afternoon. Here, the way to university.


The days are becoming shorter and shorter. These sunrise pictures were taken on the 13th of December at 9:45.

And the accumulated snow then serves as basis for children to built great snow caves. A small boy disappeared in the hole in the middle of the hill just when I took the picture.


Norwegians are well-equipped for the snow-rich part of the year.

I always take pictures from this view throughout the year, so you can see how nature changes with the seasons...


And when it is dark, the ski slopes - here the ones behind Dragvoll campus - are illuminated.




Does cross-country skiing exist in Norway or is all up- and downhill? Anyway, it's great!
