An old bench with a view
Not long ago we walked in an area I once knew well. This bench looked as if it had been there then. But is still served its purpose: Sitting on the bench we could see the youngest generation playing as it always has. Some things never change.

P is for Paraglider
A Wikipedia definition:
A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by its suspension lines and the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing.I prefer to stay on the ground with a camera. The picture was shot during "Ekstremsportveko" 2008, at Voss, Norway.

Autumn by a Norwegian lake
This week's reflections are from a lake that once was part of the water supply in Bergen. Now it is only used for recreational purposes.
I have not been able to access Blogger or indeed any Blogs through my normal ISP all day (this post add-on is via another system). The same is true for many others around the world. I will thus not be able to answer any comments, make new comments or make new posts until this has been fixed by Blogger.
The problem has now been fixed, so then it is back to normal business!

Bench along the trail
When you walk along a trail you are usually glad to see a place where you can sit down, relax and enjoy whatever sight there might be to see. In this case I was walking along a trail in The Forest of Canada.
No, I have not moved away from Norway. However, in Bergen there is a forested recreational area called The Forest of Canada (Kandaskogen in Norwegian). One might imagine it looks a bit like it too - judging from the pictures I have seen, for instance on Barbara Martin's blog.
The name stems from a group of boy-scouts who in 1918 went hiking in "Canada".
I only hope the authorities in Canada take better care of their benches than we do.

O is for Otter
Wikipedia has this to say about otter:
Some of you might like to know that Oter, which is mentioned above, is also the current Norwegian name for this very animal.Otters are semi-aquatic (or in one case aquatic) fish-eating mammals. The otter subfamily Lutrinae forms part of the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, polecats, badgers, as well as others. With thirteen species in seven genera, otters have an almost worldwide distribution. They mainly eat aquatic animals, predominantly fish and shellfish, but also other invertebrates, amphibians, birds and small mammals.
The word otter derives from the Old English word otor or oter. This and cognate words in other Indo-European languages ultimately stem from a root which also gave rise to the English words water.[1]
