The most popular pitstop for seagulls in the Wegelandspark in Kristiansand centrum, is on the poet Wergeland himself 😃
Henrik Arnold Wergeland (born 17 June 1808 in Christianssand, died 12 July 1845 in Christiania) was a Norwegian poet and the country's first national archivist.
His poetry ranges from cosmological poetry over children's poems to doomsday poems and works of poetry with a social tendency, among others. in the form of verse novels, short stories and short poems. The authorship contains a variety of hymns, patriotic songs, sailor songs and occasional poems. Wergeland also wrote dramas, such as mourning plays, singing plays and farces. On Norwegian soil, he created new genres such as the visionary creation poem, the utopian drama, the polemical short prose text and the visionary program script. [8]
He was also a historian, and wrote, among other things, the History of the Norwegian Constitution, which was published in the years 1841 to 1843.
Henrik Wergeland had a theological degree and held services in several churches. In addition, he had an unfinished medical degree behind him and was interested in botany.
A quick pitstop at a convent to wait for one of our guides who was having an asthma attack back down the hill. Time for a few quick snapshots.
Inhaler used, our guides arrived back with us and we set off at a slightly more leisurely pace. Thankfully he was fine and suffered no further problems with his asthma.
Imperial eagle- keizerarend....this trunk was his stop between the treetops and the ground. The distance between me and the eagle was rather large but I like this picture because of the look he has. A real eagle eye with the brow hanging a bit.
A snapshot taken of yours truly by my conductor while stopped at "HK", just east of Ohio Pyle, PA. I don't have any of my timebook info handy, but judging from the time of day and the four axle GE on the point, I'd guess this is one of the two eastbound "jets", either Q136 or Q138, that normally traveled the Keystone Sub in daylight. Whichever the train, the beautiful early spring day in the Alleghenies certainly made for a worthwhile few minutes stretching our legs along the banks of the Youghiogheny.

With a mandatory 2 min pitstop during the enduro race several years ago, we went wit a driver change also. My crew chief stand infront of the car with the stop watch, while my co-driver puts the finishing touches on the window net installation.
Hi, all!
So sorry for my very conspicuous absence on flickr these past weeks. Work has been extra crazy, but there does appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel approaching. =)
Hoping to get back to flickring much more, soon, and cannot wait to catch up with your pics and streams!!
In the meantime, wishing you a wonderful Saturday.
Peace ~ Jen
Thanks for Explore. :)
A welcome coffee and cake at a glorious spot to take in the views from Berry Head in Devon. The cliff in the distance was being climbed by a few people during the time we were there. Cheers - thank you for joining me on our journey. Have a super Saturday all - keep smiling xxx
