As some of you might know, I have a gallery at www.bulldozerborg.com for my pictures. But I haven’t really gotten the hang of how to upload huge amounts of pictures until now. The course I did in bioinformatics at the University of Oslo a couple of weeks ago really helped me get a grip on BASH programming and working in the terminal on my computer. So now I will get all my pictures up there eventually.

But first I’m working on getting backups on both my external hard drives and my domain. Three years of pictures take up a lot of space…

The recent week in pictures

Late walk home

Asparagus, possibly one of the best things in the world

I never managed to get any of my winter pics up until it had turned to spring, but here you see some of them

Hamar in December

Since I am such a wonderful (and eager) planner I still haven’t found the time to play with my photoes yet. I give you this in stead:

The coolest guy ever

My life right now: my dream is to get a PhD and become a real scientist, I have so much wonderful music in my life after Øya and I have started preferring Champagne and asparagus over almost anything else.

These three are from a new blog love, The glamourai. This picture? THE WALLPAPER. And maybe the stairs. Those are the kind of stairs you need killer heels and a magnificent gown to walk down.

First I was only thinking about the chains on the bed and the slits for them, but I also love how it is part of the sitting room in a way.

First, bookshelves. I obviously have a thing for them. And I love the combination of old fashioned whole wood table and very modern chairs. Especially in combination with the modern chandelier. And the double doors. I have way too expensive taste for my own good.

You know what? There’s only one week left. And now I have been waiting the whole summer.

Last year I got some wonderful photos of nature, especially during our cycling trip, but this summer I’ve only been where the grass didn’t grow. This is what I have so far…

I like trees

This one isn’t as bright as I had wanted, but still.

That’s city nature for you

Pretty planted ones

This one I really like.

So I will only have people to take pictures of this week, but I might do some cycling next week (or walking) and then I hope I’ll get some time in the sun with my new macro lens from B&H. I still haven’t really tried it.

Many people have a dream house. Or they can walk through IKEA and put things together. Have favorite sofas and chairs. I don’t really do interior design. I’m good at putting food together and I’m good at putting clothes together, but interior, not my thing. I never get inspired either. Don’t know why.

There are some things that I would like to have, at least once in my life. I’d like bright open spaces. Deep windowsills with pillows for reading and looking at people. Dark matte tiles in the bathroom. Balcony and/ or terrace that’s big enough. Privacy to sun bathe naked (at least half naked). Large kitchen with enough disk space to make a five course dinner for 20 people. I want a floor to ceiling cupboard for glass ware. I’d like a library with books along all the walls, even over the door.

I don’t care what city I will live in or if I’ll live in the city centre or in the country side. It’ll take me a couple of years to want a garden again (it is a lot of work), especially one with grass. As long as I have wild strawberries I’ll be happy.

But then the other day I looked through another person’s inspirational photos and suddenly I found interior design that hit me.

This is almost like my window sill and library at once. And you should have a secret room behind the books (since the nook is so deep).

This reminded me of all the teapots that my father had to throw away when they cleared out his mother’s house this winter. My brother and I both got a teapot each, but the 15 others were thrown away. We could have used then as pots. I would never have thought of it.

This was such a smart solution to use the useless space under the stairs.

I just liked this sign. This is how you should do it at your summer house. Or if you live in the right kind of house.

I think I’m growing up. I’ve lived so many places and seen so many houses that I think I’m starting to know what I want. Even though I know it will be another 20 years until I can afford what I want…

I have mentioned her before, I’ll do it again. These were just lovely enough to repost.

Most of all, this is just a beautiful picture. I would have loved to see the rest of this ballet.

This is a genius idea! A cup with room for cookies! And it’s the cookie monster 🙂

Biology nerd meets music nerd. Just my cup of tea.

I will not say how many people I know that fall into this definition of nerd 😉

This was inside a bus stop in Trondheim. The two other pictures are from here.

This made me smile.

While this made me sad. And guilty. I am definitely too young to feel this tired. The people around me keep reminding me too slow down, but I never seem to manage. An I know very well that I can’t keep up this pace forever.

So, I live in Trondheim, and as Trondheim is a coastal city, it has coastal weather. And because it is quite far into the fjord (Trondheimsfjorden) the weather is quite changing. A normal person in Trondheim will most of the year wear a gore tex jacket (or something that is water and wind proof) and sensible shoes (that can withstand water, frost, slippery ground of many sorts etc).

This is a prime example (sunshine in the front, dark clouds and heavy rain just over the fjord, coming our way, lots of wind). Photo taken with my camera. As you can see, not all summery temperatures in the far North these days. Just as well that I have to stay inside studying for exams.

For en liten stund siden var jeg med ARK (Akademisk Radioklubb) og byttet ut to antenner på Samfundet. Det var nydelig lys, så jeg løp rundt og tok bilder når jeg ikke jobba. Det er vakkert på toppen av Samfundet. Se!

Her står jeg nede på bakken og ser opp på ARKerne som går rundt på taket. Jeg tenkte: “hurra! Jeg skal opp på taket!”

Radioantenner og høy himmel er vakkert. I hvert fall sammen det runde røde.

Her trekkes kabel

Det blåste litt

Satser på å få inn et av bildene på nye QSL-kort etter hvert 😉

Hadde de ikke sett fine ut som postkort noen av dem, kanskje?

Radioamatører er barske folk, som dere kan se.

Elgeseter bru og midtbyen fra taket. Stativet forrerst i bildet er der UKA-navnet henger under UKA.

Måtte være med på et bilde jeg også 🙂

This hopefully was the last snow that stayed on the ground. If anything more were to fall out of the sky, then it should melt fast. I’m all for sneakers and high heels at the moment.

Soon these streets will be dry and the trees will be green

But at least the sun has returned

This was the first morning I had in weeks when I was up before 7. It made everything so much better.
