WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[neph93]

That’s a fantastic pic @signal11

Jealous of your weather too. Northern Norway is caught in a cycling low pressure front meaning 7C and incessant, torrential rain.

This lead to a trip to a local museum for myself and the three youngest boys, Seba (10), Alfie (2) and Eddie (1). It’s an aviation museum with a military section. No pics of planes as they are impossible to photograph well because of the way they’re lit, but there’s lots of ground machinery and vehicles for the kids to climb over

Tusen takk @hajduk  for illustrating the differences between northern Norway and the south. Grim, dark and miserable vs. Beautiful trout lakes and sunsets [emoji23]

Looking good @Matty123  Lean, mean and raring to go, (I mean the new job, not whatever your plan in the can was [emoji90]).

Bad ass…. @Giles  was that your first time meeting Dean?

[Giles]

No, have talked to him many times on the phone and met him earlier in the year at the Good Art foundry opening party…I was supposed to do this then, but ran out of time, so I rearranged for the next time I was in LA.

The high school I teach at is having exams and today the seniors had a major one. When this happens we empty the school of freshmen and sophomores by sending them on a 10km hike in the foothills above where I live. Normally I’ll accompany a class but my knee isn’t up to a 10km cross country walk yet, so I got the job of ascending the first top on the route and manning a check point there. It’s a gentle 30min ascent from my front door and the weather was nice (read 10C and windy, pretty good for spring).

It all got a bit hectic at the check point, around 400 16-18 year olds went through it in the space of three hours but I got some pics on the way up at 8am while it was still quiet.

The view to the south/south east:

Typical Scandi “kos”. The Norwegian bit says “hug me”:

The view to the west. I live in the burbs about 13km from town. What you see in the distance is town. To the left of these pics you can make out the runway at the airport. 737's land there all day long, believe it or not.

As I was nearing the top this fekker showed up. There’s a major military airbase next to the civilian airport. This bugger was obviously due in there. It was loud and huge. I only had my compact camera so no sense of scale but I assure you all, it didn’t look like it should be flying. Anyone know what type of aircraft?
