Are you watching closely?

As I've already told you, Canal Street (the jazz & blues festival in my hometown) has already started, and this weekend "Kjæmpestaden" is opening.
Kjæmpestaden is a festival dedicated to the "ship and sailor life" (no idea how to put it in English btw) our hometown was famous for in the 1700++. Two/three years ago, the three largest and oldest frigates (?) visited my hometown. And, two weeks ago, I was actually on a full-rigged ship called "Skoleskipet Sørlandet", which is directly translated as "The Schoolship Sørlandet" (sørlandet means the southern part of our country btw) and it was beautiful! ( http://www.schoolship.no/ )

I'll show you.

It was raining at some times and even thundering.

And this house... Ah, how I love it! I wish I lived there. It was some kind of a guesthouse or something like that in the old days.



And here too! Looks like a little, cozy cabin or somethin. :3

This is the Tromøy bridge, taken from the bow/prow (the front of the ship, I used a translater online, so sorry if it's wrong :P ). :D

And those small houses looks like we're suddenly in Denmark x)

Argh, I know the fashion styles and designs are rather mixed, but what the hell, it's fun, so I don't really care xD (but if I was the one making all the costumes, then ofc it would be the fashion sense/styles/design they wore in Versailles, like Marie Antoinette, or anything like that!) *slips away and daydreams* x)

Too bad I don't got a costume this year... I'm SO gonna get a costume till next year! :D :D :D :D

Anyway,


Till next time,


Au revoir! xD
