Moss Canal

The crow - the symbol of Moss

Kjelleroedgaarden = Kjellerødgården

According to the sign on the yellow building

shown below, this building was built in the 1770's

by Just Gude.

The couple Holth lived there from 1817 to 1862 and

the house was then called Holthegaarden.

Later alcohol (brennevin) was sold here.

Then it became a grocery shop.

From 1978 it became a restaurant.

Lately Dolly Dimples had their pizza business here.

Now the building is up for sale.

The building is very charming, inside and outside.

In addition it is now more than 230 years old,

but what will any potential buyers use it for?

Icy branches

This may look just like branches, but look closer

by clicking at the photo once or twice and see

how each branch is lined with ice.

This weather of colder-milder-colder-milder-colder

has created beautiful ice creations in nature.

But personally I am all for milder-milder-milder....

and then spring and summer.

The Opera in Oslo in February

Last week I had an appointment in Oslo.

I took the train and had some spare time.

The Central Train Station is very close to

the new Opera House so I walked over to

enjoy the winter version.

Right outside the Opera House

in the Oslofjord there was a sculpture

I probably should learn more about.

Ice covering the fjord this close to shore.

Winter in Oslo.

Moss Canal today

In the background the ferry to Horten.

Along the shore some smaller boats.

Pieces of ice floating through the canal.

With around zero degrees Celsius today,

I am developing a hope of warmer weather.
