Gas station relocated from outside Wessels gate 15 to Norsk Folkemuseum

My random photo of the day was this pic. This gas station and VW Beetle don’t look that old to me, but perhaps they look ancient to a younger generation. Actually, this was one of the newer items at Norsk Folkemuseum. Most structures in this open-air museum were much more than 100-years old. There is also a Stave Church at Norsk Folkemuseum which I need to post a photo of soon.

Al @ Holmenkollbakken (Oslo, Norway’s ski jump)

It’s fairly rare that I appear in a photograph. Usually I’m the one on the other side of the camera. However, when I was (alone) at the top of the Oslo Ski Jump two summers ago a couple came up the elevator and asked me to take their photo. I did, and then they insisted that they take mine as well. This was the result.

It was nearly 3 a.m. when I took today’s photo. Less than a half hour before I was enjoying one of Ghost’s first major performances at the Roskilde Festival. Six or seven hours after this pic I was back on the train going in the opposite direction from Copenhagen (København) to Aarhus.

Path to Wahkeena Falls

Today’s photo is from our bike tour along the Columbia River Gorge a year and a half ago. Next week we are going for another (hopefully) scenic adventure in the opposite direction down (instead of up) I-5. We will be in Yosemite in about 48 hours where we will spend much of our spring break. I’m looking forward to some more waterfalls.
