A Man and His Bike
My girlfriend’s dad’s wife’s family has this great place on a small island outside of Kragerø, Telemark, Norway. There was some amusement when I announced that I would bring my bike. There was even more amusement when I rode it to the highest hill on the island. I am sure you will be amused to learn that this “hill” stands a mighty fifty-five metres tall above sea level.
But the mostest amusest was I, who got to sit in silence with my bestest metal friend, as seen on this photo right here.
Porsgrunn Internasjonale Teaterfestival
These people are hanging in the air to entertain the people of Porsgrunn during [pit.no](PIT – Porsgrunn International Theatre festival).
PIT is really something to look forward to, and I am sure 22-26 June this year are going to be just as full of photo opportunities as ever.
Split City
Porsgrunn is in no way a remarkable town, but the geographical location makes for a few interesting phenomena. When the weather goes from cold to warm the river releases steam which stays around in the valley.
Cold and damp days are not particularly pleasant, but every once in a while the visual aesthetics make up for it.
What We See
From our living room in the teeny, tiny village where our ambitions for a bachelors degree have taken us.
Bryggefjell View
Climbing 450 height meters, sometimes on the back of your bike, sometimes the bike on your back, is worth it when this is the reward.
This view is from Bryggefjell, which lies in Bø, Telemark.
House in Porsgrunn
Porsgrunn is full of houses, as a city is wont to be. None of them seem to be entirely straight.
Monumental Concrete Structure in Vrangfoss
Telemark has quite a few canals. This is one of the concrete blocks that watches over them.
Bridge Over Nowhere
During a detour from university -›> home I found this bridge to be interesting. As interesting as a railroad bridge can be. Which is to say; not very.
Mist Over Porsgrunn River
The Porsgrunn river (or Skien River, depending on which city you come from) fills up the whole valley with mist.
