Should you spend some days in a hospital - I can for sure recommend the regional Hospital Kalnes outside of Sapsborg in Norway.<br />
<br />
Spacious single rooms with a view to the water and forest landscape in the back and then the birds making the only sounds you can hear.<br />

I think there is some 400 000 cottages in Norway. Some by the sea but also many in the mountains. Most of the cottages is family owned and used inn all seasons.<br />
Here represented by one of them. Placed in the central Mountains in Norway North West. Situated by a private road that is kept open every weekend throughout the winter.<br />
This year there is plenty of snow - very idyllic photo-wise.Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13819199627784755402noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185422.post-6273627915025993922018-02-20T13:51:00.000+01:002018-02-24T15:54:53.727+01:00Winter panorama landscape in Valdres, Norway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With app. 1 meter of snow on the roof at our mountain cottage it is time for the family to remove most of it. Still the snow is dry but later in the season with warmer weather the snow will fill with water and become several ton heavier maybe more than the roof can carry.<br />
Good alternative removing snow versus just skiing 😃Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13819199627784755402noreply@blogger.com229tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185422.post-79881778041288545152018-02-02T15:00:00.000+01:002018-02-10T11:40:47.520+01:00Traditional Winter cottage in Valdres Norway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After some snow in January it is a pleasure arriving at our cottage dressed for the winter.<br />
This is in the central part of Norway only some 3hrs drive from Oslo. We build this place 31 years ago. It still have the standard of that time. IE no electricity but 12V current from 2 solar panels. Water from an outside well (working the whole year also in the winter as we get the water from ca. 6 m under the soil surface (under the frost level)). Via SMS vi can before arrival start up our Wallas oven and arrive to a warm and cosy cottage even when there is -20C as it was this day.<br />
<br />
Along the private road it is in all some 17 cottages along the 3km distance in here from the public road. In the winter the road will be plowed an open all weekends and the winter holidays season.<br />
There is fresh ski tracks for cross country skiing right by the cottage opening up for a net of ski tracks for many, many kilometers in the region.Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13819199627784755402noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185422.post-3745707462275364102018-02-02T13:00:00.000+01:002018-02-03T11:40:10.606+01:00Winter Road trip along E16 in Begnadalen Norway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A beautiful day along E16 on my way from Oslo to my mountain cottage 3 hrs Northwest of Oslo in the popular region Valdres.<br />
Up here there is plenty with snow on this rather cold day with some -25C / -13F.<br />

Many sailers have their winter harbour along the small marina at Aker Brygge in Oslo City. It looks cold but we guess they have sufficient with electrical heaters and insulation to have it cosy inside, in spite of the cold outdoor climate down by the sea. At least they have a very central place both to shops an restaurants right here in the center of Oslo.<br />

The days are very short this far north in December. The sun is rising 9:11AM and as you can see the sunset is already a little after 2PM.<br />
But no reason to complain. I.E. North of the Artic Circle there is no sun at all.<br />

Incredible what you can do with an iphone6+. As here with a stitch of 6 photos. (Recommended: Click on the photo for a LARGE version)<br />

The winter landscape is to be found in the Southern part of Norway now in December.<br />

Up at our mountain cottage for some winter days. After putting out some old bread it takes less than 5 minutes before the Lauskrike / Siberian Jay is arriving. Even frozen bread served in the cold outside temperature at -18C seems to be most attractive this morning.<br />

<br />
The Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) is a jay found in north Eurasia. The species has a wide range (estimated global Extent of Occurrence 10,000,000 km²) and a large global population (estimated 680,000-1,400,000 in Europe). It is one of three members of the genus Perisoreus, the others being the Sichuan jay, P. internigrans, restricted to the mountains of eastern Tibet and northwestern Sichuan, and the gray jay, P. canadensis, restricted to the boreal forest and western montane regions of North America. All three species store food and live year-round on permanent territories in coniferous forests. The Siberian Jay is known to wilderness travelers as a very inquisitive and fearless species, which can be seen near camps and fires, and which will even take food if some is left nearby.<br />

The most significant photo motif in Collioure is the church which have also served as a lighthouse and prison in its time. A rather tiny population at the beach these days.<br />

The Tramontane is the strong northwest winds coming down from the mountains and blowing out in the Mediterranean Sea. Sometimes making big waves along the coast. As seen here in Collioure in November. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
FROM WIKI:The tramontane in France is a strong, dry cold wind from the north (on the Mediterranean) or from the northwest (in lower Languedoc, Roussillon, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands).It is similar to the mistral in its causes and effects, but it follows a different corridor; the tramontane accelerates as it passes between the Pyrenees and the Massif Central, while the mistral flows down the Rhone Valley between the Alps and the Massif Central.</div>
