Escape from boredom

…only thing left to do is to turn of the computer…doh!! Second picture 20 minutes after the first one…

Early this morning

Loaded the car last Friday and headed off to Rømskog to visit Haukenestårnet. From where we parked the car it was just about 15-20 minutes walk (or run, the boys ran all the way both to and from). The tower is always open.

After this experience we now have a plastic container with almost 1000 liters of water standing ready until the dry period has ended.

Behind Jens Erik you can see the pine tree where the lightning struck.

And yes, the title of the post is a reference to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

Hearing, sight and mouth and then add extra light, HSE is always taken care of at home.
