Colonel Kruse and the Battle of Riser bridge

Yesterday the Battle of Riser bridge which took place on the 9’th of March in 1716 was recreated at Løken. Very enjoyable, but must admit that we did at first have a hard time figuring out who was the Norwegians and who where the Swedes. Read more about it at Wikipedia . Afterwards I had to do communal duty work selling hot dogs and waffles, quite hectic – a lot of people

Truck with no driver

On my way home here the other day, passing by road work I saw this truck backing. But it was a bit strange since there was no driver. It was not autonomus, behind it was a man standing with a remote control. So this was actually a very big remote controlled truck.

Model airplane flying

Last Wednesday we had Bendik and his family visiting us. He had brought his model airplane to show the kids (and me). Here just shown as a small white dot up in the sky

Just landed, walking over to do a second flight. Not so small after all

Swan safari

About a week ago we wanted to have a closer look at the large flock of swans that had gathered on the field just behind our house.

Elin did count count as much as 50-60 swans flying in this flock, and that happened twice.
