A car, and not too soon!

We bought a car last Friday, and not a minute too soon. Since this weekend the temperature has dropped to around the freezing point and it is raining and snowing on and off. Our winter tiers (with studs) are being used well and we enjoy driving around and especially the freedom it gives us to go anywhere we want, anytime we want to!

The snow on the mountains around us gives us the feeling we are living in a postcard.

Here are some nice pictures to illustrate a sunrise, snow, the moon, a walk in the wind and our car!

Hinnstein,

The Hinnstein is a 560 meter peak near Harstad just behind the Statoil office. With a glorious sunny autumn Saturday Douglas cycled to the base of the Hinnstein and climbed to the top. The leaves on the trees have turned even more yellow and orange and some trees started to shed their leaves. The views of city and the surrounding Islands where fantastic. It was even possible to see our apartment building. Douglas also caught two fish in front of the house on Friday.

Love

Claartje & Douglas
