Better enjoy it - tomorrow rain will come (actually it is quite literally true, we've been promised 14 mm of rain!).

STAVE CHURCH🇳🇴
In Vågåmo lies this beautiful Stave Church. Like so many of these stave churches there is on the right a bell tower. There is no bell in a stave church. So they build one next to it🌞
Vare sig man vill vandra, cykla eller ta sig fram motordrivet, finns här alltid något att uppleva. När körsbärsträden blommar är det härligt att ta sig fram på de slingrande små vägarna i Valleområdet.
Att se en strandskata innanför tullarna hör inte till vanligheterna, inte mina vanligheter i alla fall. Och med de bestämda steg han tog sig fram så var han utan tvekan på väg någon helt annanstans. Hoppas han kom fram i tid.
My contribution for this week's theme "road"; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Licantropia
In qualche luogo i nostri sogni diventeranno realtà.
C’è un lago solitario
illuminato dalla luna per me e per te
come nessuno per noi soli.
Lì la scura bianca vela spiegata
in un vago vento non sentito
guiderà la nostra vita-sonno
laddove le acque si fondono
in un lido di neri alberi,
dove boschi sconosciuti vanno incontro
al desiderio del lago di essere di più,
e rendono il sogno completo.
Lì ci nasconderemo e svaniremo,
tutti vanamente al confine della luna,
sentendo che ciò di cui siamo fatti
è stato qualche volta musicale.

Special:
- While visiting the VW factory in 1947, Dutch car importer Ben Pon came up wîth the idea for the Bus (drawn on the back of his cigar box ☺) as we know it today.
- Officially launched on November 12, 1949, the Transporter line did not go on sale to the general public until March 1950. The Typ 2 T1a were among the first “forward control” vans in which the driver was placed above the front roadwheels.
- At first the T1a was only produced in the Wolfsburg plant, but from March 8, 1956 in a new plant in Hanover (VW-Werk Hannover).
- Versions created until 1955 were known as the T1a. These versions are often called the 'Barndoor' versions due to their large rear engine cover.
- The T1b were produced from 1955 through 1963. These versions had a smaller engine cover and smaller, 15-inch wheels.
- The T1c was introduced in 1963 and produced until 1967. These versions had a wider rear door.
- German production stopped after the 1967 model year; however, the T1 still was made in in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil until 1975.
- The varieties were huge, from Transporter, Camper, Delivery Van, Kombi, Microbus, Pick-Up, Ambulance, Ladder Truck, Police Vans, Buses etc.
- The T1 was very popular in the USA (Hippie Bus☺): by 1964 it was accounting for over 63% of all import vehicle sales.
* this car has a later on T2 1584cc flat-4 engine with 50 bhp / 3.800 rpm and torque 104 Nm / 2.400 rpm
In der Stadt ist der Herbst noch nicht so wirklich angekommen, das Laub will noch nicht so wirklich leuchten oder von den Bäumen fallen...
Der für das eigene Unternehmen werbende, sehr farbenfrohe, TW1121 der VAG Nürnberg war hier als Fahrschule (Linie D) am Hallertor in Richtung Plärrer unterwegs. Einer der schönsten Werbe-Straßenbahnen in Nürnberg.
