February

Yes, yes, it's a Winter-post again, and I can assure you that it will not be the last one. But don't worry, it's going to be ended soon, as I'm already taking photos in a sunny, "warm", and Spring like weather. These last winter shots will be published more frequently from now on, because in the last days I checked all my pictures and processed the prosperous ones. They are just waiting the be uploaded here.
But let's get back to the February-pictures which were taken in Drammen, Kongsberg and already in Oslo (as on 15 February I left Drammen, and moved to Oslo).


Kongsberg - situated approx. 40 km to the west from Drammen. Wellknown for its silver mines and Jazz festival. And although it's not that far away from Drammen, they have much more snow, and several kinds of skiing possibilities.


































Drammen - this picture, on the left was taken from my window, on one of my last morning in town.




































Oslo - in the beginning of February I travelled to the capital several times for checking out apartments and new places. Perfect occasions for taking some pictures.

A bit of snow, and a bit of cold

I have not posted anything for quite a long time, because I had a trip to Northern-Norway - yes, for taking more pictures -, so now this post is going to be a bit longer than usually. /Nordic pictures are coming soon/

So yeah, the permanent snow arrived to the Southern regions as well, in November. It was not a big snow, and the temperature was not that terribly low either, but soon Norway showed its real face. These pictures were taken in Drammen and Kongsberg til
the end of December, 2009.








There is about 40 km between Drammen and Kongsberg, and this distance meant about 20 cm of snow difference in 5th November. Actually Drammen's streets just became wet, while I took these pictures about the "first permanent snow" in Norway since the summertime.


















If someone would raise the question what the picture above-left is really about, it is a glass roof with some snow on it, taken from below ;)

But lets go back to Drammen - simply just pictures without any text:











































And finally, I am finishing the year 2009 with a Christmas decoration at Gardermoen Lufthavn (Oslo's main airport)
