Small scale logging and panorama pictures
June 12th, 2010Last weekend I did some small scale logging with an element of high precision at home. A birch was about to grow way to large, and we could risk that it could fall and cut down the tv cabel or worse fall down on one of the houses if a day strong wind com… more »
Clean car
June 12th, 2010Got my car cleaned by Fornebu Bilsenter earlier this week. A year without any major cleaning and even Elin started nagging that "...when will you have the car cleaned??.." :-) So the result, and the same result inside, like having a brand new car more »

From Lindesnes to Nordkapp with bicycle VI
