Spring in Norway?

Early morning (06:36)

In these global warming days it is nice to see that the extremes still give us some snow now and then. Actually this winter we have seen a lot of it. A few weeks ago the snow on the slopes next to the road was at about 1,5 meters of height. Now they are about half that. It is kind of weird though. The birds are singing among the threes, the fog is hanging low and the days are fast getting brighter. But there is still about 1 meter of snow laying on the fields. A bit more than normal for this time of year. Further north on the west coast of Norway they have almost no snow left.

Løkken Verk

Old mining building on Løkken.

It’s the christmas season and I take a lot of pictures, the problem is that most of them is of family, and nothing I plan to add to this blog, but a little while ago I took this picture. It’s from Løkken Verk in the middle of Norway (Sør-Trøndelag) and shows one of the old abandoned mining buildings there. The old mines were closed down in 1987, and the old buildings are slowly turning into ruins.
