This Saturday the traditional bonfire “Slinningsbålet” will be light to celebrate summer solstice, or “mid-summmer blot”:
The bonfire is almost completed:
Only a few more meters to go to reach “top out” the night before the big event. (the target this year is a modest 32-34 m)
New of the year is that the young bonfire builders received some safety advice from a coulpe of professional instructors:

Do you need any more persuasion to visit Norway?:
A bit outdated, but generally still valid info:
“The Year in Ålesund” is a locally made documentary that is shown to tourists and locals at the Parken Cultural centre. Here is some pictures from the show:
Local filmmaker Dag Lausund unveils the beauty of the city throughout the seasons, capturing everyday life, its residents, and the iconic Art Nouveau architecture on screen. The movie is screening daily from 24. June at Parken Kulturhus.

I was reading an article this morning about how the Norwegian Navy is starting to put QR codes on the sides of their ships.

From “A year in Ålesund”.
Another Viking of great renown:
But there are also days and places like this:
The Aurlandsdalen valley is breathtaking, with the extreme wildness of the river carving its way through the landscape, and the fantastic views of the fjord way below. These beautiful mountains are where Eastern Norway meets Western Norway.

About us
We are two Germans living in Oslo since 2011. When we moved here, we had a list of places to visit and things to do in Norway because we didn’t know how long we would stay. Over the years, the list kept growing despite us being pretty busy with travelling. One day, we decided to scrap the list, stay here for good and continue to explore norway
