The Bowl

Made by the Glass artist Beate Einen. The photo was shot at an exhibition she had with the photographer Monica Johansen at Galleri Vox in Bergen.

This Monochrome concept came from Aileni at Monochrome Weekend.

A cosy double Bench in the winter

Doesn't a double wicker chair (that makes it a bench!) appeal to you? A nice place to sit in the sun. With a sturdy spade you can even get access, and a little bit of snow on the seat can be dusted away.

You have a place on the quay all to yourself, and if you are interested in boating, there is a whole marina to choose from.

But don't go for a walk on the ice without a swimsuit...

Since these photos also contains several (in my humble opinion) fairly OK reflections, this post is also my contribution to James at Newtown Area Photo's meme called Weekend Reflections. Post a reflection during the week-end, log on to MckLinky via his site - and you're on.

F is for Four

In this case Four ducks (Aythya marila) enjoying life in an icy world.

Time for a Gull...

I haven't posted a gull for ages, but here is a herring gull (Gråmåse in Norwgian) that I found on top of a pole on Friday. The temperature was -7 degrees C.

Snow on My Bench

From my terrace

E is for Entrance

Wikipedia says:

Entrance generally refers to the place of entering like a gate or door, or the permission to do so.

In this case it is the Entrance to Bergenhus Fortress, in Bergen. Parts of the Fortress date from 1240, but the picture was shot one late afternoon in December 2009.

The Bird and the Bench

"Not a bench for me - I prefer the snow" said the pigeon and jumped down.

D is for Destruction

Wikipedia Declares that:

Destruction is the act of damaging something beyond use or repair.

This Demi-Demolished and Drab building is the Destroyed Derelicts of what was once the Departments of Pre-Clinical Sciences at the University of Bergen. I Dedicated eight years of my working life here. Now the Departmental Dons and the Dedicated students have been Dispatched elsewhere and the Demolition site is Destined for a new Dental Hospital and Department.
