I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air. Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864)

Hollmenkollen

The last full day for Hollmenkollen becuase tomorrow at 4:30 PM it will be gone. Sad really since a lot of history goes with it and the view from my place will change as well:( lol.....

The day was grey today and the sun had a hard time getting through the heavy clouds. Could it be that it was a "heavy" day for the weather seeing that this year there won't be any biathlon at Hollmenkollen due to the tearing down of our Famous Skijump. Well, there will be made a new one so that should be interesting indeed to see how it will turn out. I will try to get myself up to Hollmenkollen tomorrow and get some photos when they tear it down. Make sure i bring some hot drink and a shandwhich since it will probably take a while as well as there will be plenty of people there to watch. After all this is one of Norway's prides..

That's the scariest thing I've ever seen! It's gigantic! Norwegians are really serious about skiing, it's a huge structure!
