We’ve just come back from a trip to Norway. I’ll blog about that in due course. Over the next few days I will update my Photo Blog with pictures from the visit.

First post is photos from Stavanger. It’s somewhere in Norway I’ve always wanted to visit. It’s also only an hour on the plane from Aberdeen.  We were there for 3 days. In that 3 days it rained, almost constantly. Despite the rain we still enjoyed ourselves.

Due to the weather conditions, I didn’t get as many scenic photos as I wanted. Here are some of the photos I took.

Fast Ferry and Bergen photos to follow.


Stavanger is the only place I’ve ever seen Swans happily swim around an industrial harbour.


It rained constantly. Although I expected nothing less from Western Norway.


Lots of nice cobbled streets.


In the centre of Stavanger is the Geo Parken. It’s a play park made from old oil industry material. Amazing to see, a health and safety nightmare. Would never be allowed in the UK.


The fountain in the park in the centre of Stavanger.  Notice the rain.
