A little misstake!

, , , ...

Early this spring I decided to take a summerclass at a local school to learn moore about photo and photoshop. I have looked forward to this for a long time and was really exited last Monday when we took the car and went off to get started.
the Crazy Norwegian had decided to take another class at the same school, to learn to make knifes from the start!He had a fantasic week and have made two beautiful knifes and I will show you later when i is ready with them.he met some people who had the same interests and they had a good time together.
But I really do not know what to say, There I was and nine nice old retired people over 70 with there first digital cameras..... Oh yea! Guess if I was at the wrong place??!! I am not an advanced photograph, and I really really sucks at photoshopping!!!! But here I was a pro, I can tell you!!
Well, I decided to give it a chance and join the group!I stand it for three days, than I gave up!! I usually do not give up, but this was hoopless, but socialy very nice. I did not learn anything but than it was nice to chat and drink coffe, and that I already know!!There where all nice people and I had some lauhgs and I got some shots wich I will show you here.
I talk to the Principle and he understood my dilemma and gave me my money back and everyone was happy. I fighted the weeds in the kithchengarden for the rest of the week!Oh Yea!!
So folks, alway get information before you decide waht to do!!
But, the weather is fantastic, I have got a nice tan and life is just so wonderful when I sit here in my garden with a cold beer and write this to you all!
Here comes some pics!I hope you will enjoy them!
Tha first day!
Second day
The third day we visit the village Skaun.There was a absolutely beautiful old church, build in 1183 by the Catholics in gothic style.It was a marvelous feeling to walk around in it and thnk about old times.The painting at the front of the altar is famous and priceless. It have pictures of the life of Mary. And I also loved the middleage paintings on the walls.
We even visit a small local museum wich showed the old life in the village.
Here is some pics from the church.

And some from the museum

Weekend with friends and horses!

This weekend I have had a fabtastic time! My friend Silje are going to get married in August and we had a brideshower for her. Not in the ordinary way. We kidnapped her in the morning and transproted her up in the montains right at the swedish border and got horsebackriding in the montains! We rode on the wonderful strong little horses wich comes from Island And they carried us safely the whole day! We had a very charmy guide called Leif to show us the way.
After the tour we went to a cabin and had a great party the whole night! Lots of laughter and lots to eat and drink!
I must say that the day after was a little bit heavy! Some parts of my poor body felt really hard that I have not been sitting on a horse for ca 2 yaers!
I totally felt in love with my friend and carrier that day "Ljusfaxi" And the whole kind of horse, Islandhorse!
