The music pavilion in Bergen

The pavilion was bought as a building set in cast iron and given as a gift to Bergen municipality by businessman and consul F. G. Gade (1830–1904). The music pavilion was provided by Vulkan, Jernstøberi & Mek in Christiania and built in «Byens Park» in 1888. The columns' bases also bear the inscription Vulkan Christiania 1888. Like Ole Bull's villa Lysøen, the music pavilion is stylistically characterized by historicism inspired by Moorish architecture.

 Sculptur Grinegutten (Cry boy)by artist Sofus Madsen 1914

He made mostly human figures in classicist style 

with attitude and facial expressions that reflected attitudes

 and feelings that suited the themes he addressed.

Today it must be good to get a spash of water!

Back to the harbour of Bergen

Take a look at the boys high up in the mast

«Lehmkuhl State Council»

Statsraad Lehmkuhl »is a three-masted steel bark owned by the Statsraad Lehmkuhl Foundation. The ship is Norway's largest and oldest heavy rigged sailing ship, and has its home port in Vågen in Bergen. The ship is used for training and dissemination of traditional seamanship. In recent years, the climate and marine environment have become a major part of the ship's focus areas. Statsraad Lehmkuhl has cruises with folk high schools and school classes, but also sails open trips with anyone who can imagine experiencing freedom at sea. Every year, the Norwegian Navy rents the ship with crew to train cadets at the war schools. In recent years, the voyage has crossed the Atlantic to the United States. The ship then gets the prefix «KNM» in the name. In the last two years, the Dutch navy has also used the ship for a similar training. The ship has a permanent crew of 17. Marcus A. Seidl and Jens Joachim Hiorth are captains

So it was all a good day!

 I had to laugh about the guy up here..

So I sat there watching the boats and specially the sheep dog 

Then I hear a voice "Anita ,Anita"

He was much older then me, but remebered me 

So we talked about old days and the streets we grew up 

and I had some fun with his dog Lasse

We agreed to stay in touch
