Sky Watch Friday on Good Friday

How long was Adam in Paradise?
Where has all the flowers gone?
Did someone talk about Spring?

The winter is back!!

Thank heaven I finish the washing of my 45 (x2) windows yesterday.
Today the white snow is covering cars and streets.
My wife went down to the basement for more wood, and set fire to the kitchen fireplace before breakfast. It was like being at a mountain cottage, but we are still in the middle of Oslo.

It is Sky Watch Friday and also the most holy day in the year for someone. The white flakes coming from above cover everything. May be someone will call it a sign. For me it is only troubling. I am sick of winter and want spring to return asap. It has also made my SWF blogpost different than planned for.

Because yesterday afternoon I received a mail from British Airways saying:
Dear Mr A,
With 27 March fast approaching, the opening of our new home at Heathrow is getting closer than ever. So I'd like to tell you a bit more about what you can expect when you fly from Terminal 5.
Until I have been at Heathrow T5 you have to be satisfied with other airports around the world, and I start up the ASWF photos with Portela Airport Lisbon in the midle of the city to where this airplane is on her way.In many of the airport photos I has focused on my wife. This is from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on her way to Singapore and the former Westin Plaza HotelIn China she is leaving Asia for this time at Pudong Airport Shanghai where we earlier on the vacation last May could see The Bund shot from 350 meters up in the sky at Pearl Tower.Snow or Airports what so ever, since it is Easter and a lot of Norwegians are up in the mountain skiing, I here present a picture of Rondane from the so called Solberg place. Today these mountains are covered with snow, but as I started in this post, you don´t need to go far for using your skis today.Just had to add a photo from Aftenposten taken by Thorbjørn Leidal this morning to show you that winter is really back:Probably no BBQ of the Easter Lamb at their place.

  1. Brrrrrrrrrrr! A fire in the basement! If only I'd known! We are still without heating oil and will be so until Tuesday at the earliest! The thought of a fire...how warm!

    Happy Easter.

  8. Kor lenge Adam var i Paris? Neimen om eg veit... Kanskje til han hadde ete opp eple? (neppe rundt og rundt, hehe)

    Kor lenge var Arne på dei ulike stadane mon tru? Ser du er ein bereist mann! Flotte bilete frå totalt ulike stader! Favoritten min er Rondane som du sikkert gjettar.

    God påske til deg og di vakre kone!

  9. Flotte bilder i SWF innlegget ditt i dag!
    Vinteren har inntatt Bergen igjen også... I går var det skikkelig høyfjellsuvær med vind og snø. Det ulte rundt hushjørnet. I dag ligge snøen fin og hvit og vi har sett solen. Ikke verst for å være bypåske dette her. Min stedatter er på fjellet og jeg tror vi har fått være mer ute vi som ble hjemme;) Har hatt lange turer rett etter frokost alle dager siden tirsdag. Det er også planen resten av fridagene. I morges da min mann og jeg tråkket oss gjennom snøen inne i skogen og solen titter frem, fuglene sang og ikke et menneske (eller bil) var å se, ga en slik glede inne i meg. Vi var ikke langt til fjells en gang, bare 10-12 minutter fra Bergen sentrum med bil.
    Bildet på bloggen min er faktisk fra en uværsdag. Hvis du ser de mørkeskyene i kantene. I løpet av et lite minutt ble de feid bort og de rosa skyene kom til syne. Så med ett var alt sort og grått igjen. En liten påminnelse kanskje om at bakom skyene , skinner solen.
    Vel, jeg var tidlig oppe i dag og det rettferdiggjør en liten blund her på sofaen, gjør det ikke??
    Etter det skal jeg besøke noen flere SWF blogger!
    Ha fortsatt en fin påskehelg!

  20. Flotte bilder, fra mange plasser!!

    Ja vinteren kom hit igjen også, men ikke noe særlig snø på bakken, bare oppe i fjellsidene.

    Det har blitt en del spill innendørs, men i morgon skal vi til topps og legge stein på varden.

    Ha en fin påske fortsatt.

  21. Thanks for sharing your latest snow story with me. I LOVE SNOW! We didn't get much this year but all around us did. Spring came early for us this year. . . have had daffodils for a month now and crocus before that AND today I saw my first tulips. . . they will be on my blog Saturday!

    IF I were there, I'd be right over to shovel your sidewalks and drive.

  22. I did not participate in this week's SWF, but I can at least say that I once stayed in the hotel you showed us!

  23. Arne: I really like the hotel rising into the sky. I guess I expect Norway to have a lot of snow.
