A photo challenge sometimes entered weekly, sometimes monthly, it depends on what photos I have available. It also means thinking outside the box sometimes and I confess I’m not great at doing that.

Tree Surgeons Working.

Heard a lot of noise, leaned out my window, and there it was. A traffic jam!

Not just any old traffic jam, this one was caused by the local tree surgeons who were removing some dangerous branches from a tree not far from me. We’d all been steering clear of this tree as we walked past it on our way to the local park, as the over-hanging branches had looked as though they were about the pull the tree down for the past two years.

I couldn’t watch for two long, that young man roped to the branches, looked very vulnerable.

Not a job I’d want
Job Done, Tree still Leaning but shouldn’t fall now!

Sleeping Child by By Håkon Anton Fagerås.

This sculpture of a sleeping child is said to symbolize Norwegian optimism, survivability, and future life.

The design incorporates a separate pedestal, a rock from Hiroshima’s ground zero given earlier to Narvik by the mayor of Hiroshima. One of three peace sculptures in Narvik it was dedicated in 1956, 1995 and 2006 to remember the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.
