Such a tranquil and beautiful scene of the lovely coloured sky and the peacefully flyeing birds before a dreadful catastrophic storm. Looking at this photo a hurricane is the furthest from ones mind.

Happy holidays.

Gorgeous.
Here in Norway we have the Geese comming up in the Spring and returning in the Autumn/Fall.

When they head for South in September - well the we realize:
Summer is over.

On Sunday Dec 21, at that Day, i.e. when the Sun are visible, will be more than 13 hours shorter than at mid summer.

With other words: We have indeed 4 seasons in Norway.

Cold?
In the low land Oslo Area there is no Snow and the temperature is above the freezing point.
