Posted on 1 October 2011 by oyvind

I noticed suddenly a day that I was booked on row 13, on a flight with Norwegian – I haven’t thought much about it before but I’ve noticed that some airlines skip the row. Have you noticed?

An article on expressen.se lists a few of them but there must be more, can you help me find them?

Here is Expressen’s list, airline compenies that skip row 13:

Air France
Austrian
Continental
Emirates
Lufthansa
KLM
Ryanair
SAS
Singapore Airlines
SWISS
Thai Airways International
Turkish Airlines
Virgin Atlantic
Widerøe

The future of space travel

Posted on 1 October 2011 by oyvind

Have you wondered like me what will happen to space travel now that the Shuttle-program is gone? Yesterday SpaceX released an animation video of their latest work, the reusable Dragon Spacecraft. An awesome way of lowering costs sending people and cargo into space. The video wasn’t embedable, click the image below to watch it.

If you check out their launch manifest you can see that these guys means business! I’m excited to follow this development – we need it!

Driving through galaxy clouds

Its Friday! And Skywatch Friday and Petunias Heavenly #52. I really look forward to this weekend, this week has been a long one.

Sometimes when I drive home the sky turns into a monstrous theater, I often pretend I am out there in the universe and drive past galaxy clouds.

Autumn-Bergen at its best – so far

I was waiting for the eldest one to finish scouting and walked around Sandviken to take some HDR photos, the light was awesome. Here are some of the ones I took.

Sunshine rainbow

I was visiting a good friend the other day, on my way out there were a special light, sunshine, rain and spots of clear sky. The mountain (Ulriken) in the background were lit up by the sun.

This was the sky the opposite way.

Was Brad Downey or C215 here?

This looks more like C215′s work but the Brad Downey signature confuses me, anyone know if this is C215 or Brad Downey?

Evening-work near Stoltzen

Posted on 23 September 2011 by oyvind

The scouts are helping out this weekend on Stoltzen, the annual competition is due and the scouts are helping out in different ways. One is to create a large bonfire where people can grill their sausages. A dozen scouts and a few parents carried the wood to the rest-place. Even when it became dark people practiced walking the almost 1000 steps.
