An Art Work A Day

One of the Top Ten trips is going to a place called Vrålstadheia, where the top itself where this route goes is called Aksla. The first part of the route is along a tractor road. When that ends the path gets steeper and a more narrow forest path leads up into the hills. Along the route I try not to be in such a hurry that I miss the lovely views even though my breathing sometimes LOL sounds louder in my ears than the sound of the birds and the brocks. Soon we hope to hike all the way to the top but this day we stopped halfway there on a smaller top.

Short but steep hike which gave the calves the necessary exercise today hehehe.

Prague is filled with wonderful buildings, churches and towers in all kinds of styles. This is one of the more special ones which I walked past today on my 5 hour walk along the river.

The next one is called the Fred and Ginger Building or the Dancing building.

I also visited another castle area with another great basilika in the neo gothinc style. The church of ss peter and paul in the Vysehrad. Once I get home tomorrow I will start posting more.

The cold is still horrible here but we do go out and watch the fireworks. Here in Norway for the second year only sertified pyrotecnics are allowed to use rockets - ordinary people are only allowed ground staying ones. Unfortunately my photos did not capture it well this year.

Standing there I was amazed at seeing horse shoe track since it has been so very cold lately - at worst -24 degrees Celcius which is COLD.

Here are a few photos from the ball. First the decorated tables, then from the polonaise and last from the party party dancing part. I have other photos but due to rules I can not show photos with faces on. More images and comments on student blogs like this , this or this . Last I have put an image showing that my usual Christmas guests arrived last night.

Today I had a lovely visit of a friend of mine Elisabeth bringing her new puppy; Charlie, a golden retriver.
