There is an ongoing debate in Norway about our (20 or 30) wolfs, which attack sheep and other “house”-animals. Yesterday a newspaper released a photo of a half-eaten dog (by wolf) and then the debate got a new explosive energy. Now KrF (a christian political party) want to give dog owners among others to kill the wolf if they attack.

Then I saw this photo, isn’t it some kind of fur she uses? If so I guess she want some wolf-fur as well…

For the record, I think we should protect the last wolfs we have left here in Norway, people should protect their dogs and sheeps – its too easy to blame the wolf.

I had a small aquarium when I was a kid and I dreamed of a larger one, or an aquarium I could mount into my wall. When I saw this I suddenly got the urge to keep fishes again. Its from Opulent Items, I’ve never seen that site before and its worth a visit. Check this out, these fishes can swim freely between the modules:

The photo is without cables and air supply so I guess it won’t be _this_ tidy but I think it was neat anyway.

The oil catastrophe in the Timor Sea off the north west coast of Australia where an oilrig is on fire is tragic news, you can read more on that here at BBC.

The owner is Norwegian and that apparently make the newspapers here go nuts. This is the photo they choose to present the owner.

I… don’t quite know what to say. Do media this on purpose to make people appear ridiculous?

Kids have startet to ring down our door bell now, we just had three of them. “Trick or treat” they shouted when I opened up the door. I gave them some candy and when they went they yelled “happy new year!”. Kids here in Norway doesn’t understand what halloween is. Its kind of funny..

Media says here that we’ve inherited this from USA but I kind of disagree. Every kid here have bought their costume, not a creative soul out there. I’ve seen a lot of Americans preparing for Halloween this week, a lot of creative people who design their own costume. So to say we’ve copied this from the US is in my opinion wrong – we should copy their creativity too!

A lot of the kids who’ve been here tonight has masks from the same store, its kind of funny..

Once again people sneak in line, but this time our royal family, the king, queen and the rest of the family are now vaccinated. But they think they do it to protect others they meet, but isn’t it so that people who are vaccinated carry the disease anyway and can give H1N1 to others without knowing it?

In Norway we struggle to get the vaccine out to everyone so the authoroties had to split the vaccines in two. First the people with cronic diseases will get the vaccine, then the people without any problems.

I guess our king and his family is secretly in the problemgroup.

View of Fyllingsdalen where I grew up. This is one of my favourite views – I never get tired of taking pictures of it. Its taken from my mom and dad’s house last Sunday. Here is a larger version of it..

This one was taken in a hurry from the car, its from Nordåsvannet.
