Murmansk – the shipwreck outside of Sørvær

Read an article about Murmansk, the shipwreck just outside of Sørvær, in Hasvik, Finnmark. It is 211 meters long, meaning…very large, so I had to check – and yes, you can see it on Google Maps. The image is kinda dark, you will get a better one if you use www.norgeibilder.no. Would have been interesting to have traveled up there just to see the size of the dry dock, the ship and everything.

Carpe diem

That’s what friends are for…got a gift, got a gift – a carpe diem-candlestick. Could it be as a follow up of one of my previous gifts, the penis atlas?

I’m so confident in my own sexuality that I have no problems showing this to the world 🙂

Heavy duty gardening tending

Helping out my father in law doing some gardening tending. We needed to cut down the old birch shown in the picture below since it was dead and could fall down anytime.

My oldest son watching it safely from a distance, sitting inside the New Holland.

First needed to cut down a small birch.

Then the large one. Had the wire rope attached high up in the tree, so when I had prepared the undercut my father in law just tightened the rope a bit, and the tree fell down. Notice that quite a lot of the branches just snapped of when the tree hit the ground, proving that the whole tree was pretty dead.

Cutting another tree to pieces, got both chainsaws stuck (fu#¤!!)

But, no problemo, having the right equipment nearby…
