Photo Hunters - September 8 - 2007: Music
PhotoHunt
On May 17, the Norwegian national day, streets, roads and plazaz and Parks are filled with brassbands. It's music everywhere from early morning to late evening. Above is The Royal Garden Brass Band in front of the Royal Castle in Oslo.
Brass bands of all ages. That's a very nice tradition.
Even the Aspirants are marching. When the Saint goes Marching on ......
Go PhotoHunt your self. Post a picture of your own with the theme Music this Week

Midsummer 
Our regular Guest - Waiting for more food
Midsummer - St Hans - Eve have a special tradition here in Norway. People have large outdoor fires (have been restricted the last years) and they seek out to the Sea with their boats. Islands are more or less crowded. Not this year. Heavy rain stopped the tradition. Oslo had 77 mm in 24 hours. That's more than normal for the whole month. Much more.
But we had to prepare the meal. Outside barbecue was to be forgotten. Too wet.
We started eating inside. You see - it's not much space.
But, suddenly. Blue sky.
And we moved outside
And, we could follow the tradition with a Midsummer fire. Not the largest one. But a fire. It was so wet it took almost an hour to lit it up. Meanwhile we had Wine and Wild Strawberries. The evening ended up with 40 Questions plus Ten easy ones. Bedtime: 3:30 AM.
