We enjoyed the shelter of Bill’s house while we watched the weather. We saw snow flurries and felt gale force winds. Our of the big picture window we saw tumbleweeds chasing one another across the landscape. Sometimes it was sunny but cold but mostly dark overcast until late afternoon. The next few days promise to be chilly but sunny days.
In Denver a few years back I went to the front range. From there I saw a front move over the city. I drove out of Denver in cool bright sunshine. As I drove back, I drove through rain and then snow. When the snow quit is rained for a short period which froze into ice as the sun went down in a dark sky. Leaving my hotel room that evening, the world had been painted white. Walking to the bus the next day the sky was clear and the trees and buildings had been covered with ice. It was a beautiful sight and it made me understand how inconsequential we are in the great scheme of things. You’re experience reminds me of this time from my past almost forgotten.
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
That is a scary but awe-inspiring picture! It’s amazing what mother nature does!

That photo reminds me of hiking out at Philmont and watching rain clouds move in the distance.
