From their website: The farm and Museum - Exhibition

The buildings of the farm date from slightly different periods in the 18th- & 19th-centuries. This style of the turf construction was universal in rural areas of Iceland until about 1900, when it was gradually replaced mainly by reinforced concrete, which is typical in most contemporary Icelandic construction today. Extensive turf construction evolved in Iceland owing to the acute shortage of large trees.

 

Hence the buildings at Glaumbær are comprised of thin shells of wood separated from one another and insulated by thick walls of turf, and roofed with a thick layer of the same material. Icelandic grass grows very thickly, consequently the turf is a strong and enduring combination of roots and soil. A turf building, in districts of moderate rainfall, can last up to a century. The roof must be sloped at the correct angle; if it is too flat, water leaks through and if it is too steep, the turf cracks during spells of dry weather or drains too quickly so the grass does not grow, both resulting in a roof that leaks. The old Icelandic farm was a complex of small separate buildings. The most frequently used were united by a central passageway, while tool & storerooms could only be reached from the outside.

My next set of MOCs is for the Eurobricks Technic Triple Challenge.

 

The Brouwer 1576 Sod Harvester I am particularly proud of. It features working steering and a 2 cylinder engine. The harvesting head has a high speed cutting blade with a times length cutter, and a working conveyor to move the sod to the back pallet. The rear pallet fork also drops to let the pallet off the back of the harvester. I hope you enjoy.

Never work with kids, LOL

The Dolly Sods Wilderness — originally simply Dolly Sods — is a U.S. Wilderness Area in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA, and is part of the Monongahela National Forest of the U.S. Forest Service.

Built by Andrew McPherson. You should be able to see the fat controller in the background and a kid dressed up in a batman costume...

Summertime is also music time in Helsinki.

Espan stage is in the centre of town where lots of summer concerts are held. It's close to the market place and the Helsinki Cathedral. It is at the end--or the beginning--of the lovely Esplanade park.

 

Inga Söder, 36 y/o, is a Finnish singer, a blogger and a singing teacher. She did her studies in Helsinki, but she lives in Oulu.

 

Inga has been singing for about ten years by now.

She gave a fabulous one hour long performance on Espan Lava in Helsinki.

 

After the concert I caught up with her to thank her for the wonderful music. She had a long queue of fans waiting for an autograph, nonetheless, she kindly gave me a minute of her time and posed for me.

 

I've sent Inga the photos with a few questions and she promised to write when she has time.

Thank you, Inga. Much appreciated !
