Vadsø Skyline

It`s not a big town we got. But thanks to a closed fishfactory and the passengerboat "Hurtigruta", we can see it on the skyline when we wake up in the morning.
Talking about the "Hurtigruta". This boat carries valuable cargo and tourists all along the Norwegian coast, from Bergen to Kirkenes. For locals up here, the boat is very important. A kind of lifeline.
Every morning when I see her, I would like to travel with her. To go onboard, into all the lights, having a luxurious breakfast. And not the everyday work.
But then. Life goes on. And the everyday work calls on me.

(And; I`ve got a new camera. No more just pale mobile phone pictures. But a camera with a superb zoom. So that I can almost look into the ship to see what the tourists eat for breakfast.)

Bicycle on the road of death

I`m still using my bicycle to and from work. Two miles every day. It`s getting darker. But using blinking lights and reflectors, it works in the traffic of cars.
And it`s a nice feeling to be into the darkness, having only the small light to find my way.
But. This autumn it is the year of the lemmings. Sometimes there`s just so many of them. And they are running around. Into the shops. Crossing the road. Resulting in many flat, dead lemming corpses lying on the road. Forming a mosaic pattern.
The cardrivers may not pay them with much attention.
But from the bicycle, you get a completely different perspective.
They keep on running out in front of my bicyclewheel. I try to avoid them, men sometimes it is inevitable. So often I hear a "squeeeeeek" under my wheels.
Oh, well. Nature get`s a bit closer on a bicycle. That`s for sure.
