Friday 6th February 2015, 2.10pm (day 1,261)
I know I did the snowy mountain shot on my way into Bergen, and here we are doing it again on the way back home, but it was either that or a photo of my breakfast. This one is better. And creamier.

Life, one day at a time
Chris working in the library
Thursday 5th February 2015, 5.05pm (day 1,260)
No frolicking in the snow today — too much work to do. This time in Bergen I have been accompanied by a colleague from Manchester, Chris, and here he is enjoying the beanbags of this 21st century workspace: the building that, in the end, our project here in Norway has all been about. So let’s use it…
On Mount Fløyen
Wednesday 4th February 2015, 4.30pm (day 1,259)
If in doubt for something to do in Bergen (and you’ve finished work for the day), take the funicular and come up here. This is Fløyfellet’s second appearance on the blog, the first being well over three years ago (27th Nov 2011), and the second shot in a row of a snowy Norwegian scene with a vaguely supernatural element.
Sea-monster island, near Bergen
Tuesday 3rd February 2015, 3.50pm (day 1,258)
As pictured from the final descent into Bergen Flesland airport this afternoon. Tell me I’m not the only person who sees this. I’m just waiting for the moment at which it snaps its jaws open and consumes the yacht without a trace.I have looked for this island (or peninsula, or archipelago) on a map of the area but can’t identify it; perhaps it only reveals its monstrous nature from this very specific angle.
Postscript: As the comment indicates one of my followers has since identified this as the island of Snilstveitøy.
By the canal, February morning
Monday 2nd February 2015, 8.30am (day 1,257)
Today is the last of 66 days in a row for me in the UK, which I guess isn’t very long, but it is the second-longest UK-bound period of this blog. I was in Manchester today but the run ended with a damn fine — but cold — Hebden Bridge morning.
Hillside
Sunday 1st February 2015, 10.55am (day 1,256)
As viewed from our allotment this morning. I alleviated the pain of yesterday’s football by going out and tilling the land, or something like that. A sunny day, but cold, to greet February.
Bloomfield Road, Blackpool (the glamour shot)
Saturday 31st January 2015, 1.05pm (day 1,255)
The second season in a row where I’ve made the Blackpool v Brighton picture, and hence this stadium’s second appearance on the blog. My rather negative feelings about Blackpool were not helped by the lousy game and lousy result (a 1-0 defeat after a gutless performance). This shot of the stadium epitomises it all.
Clare and her Lego lady
Friday 30th January 2015, 4.50pm (day 1,254)
Whether inspired by me or not, Clare now has a photo blog of her own where she intends to post a photo of a Lego figure every day for a year. Our paths were bound to coincide at some point. Took 30 days.
Rooves and windows, Hebden Bridge
Thursday 29th January 2015, 12.10pm (day 1,253)
As seen from the back of my house — which I did not leave today. Too much marking to do, and too cold, though not the snow fall that was forecast.
More winter
Wednesday 28th January 2015, 3.30pm (day 1,252)
This hail storm was just the prelude, so the forecasts say. All of last week’s snow disappeared overnight on Monday — but it seems this week’s is well on the way.
