A view of the Arctic cathedral and "snow mountain" taken on our way down to sentrum.

Just goes to show you how far behind on this thing I still am that I'm still posting October photos. Oh well. On Oct. 3, the art museum had an open house for international students. We walked down to sentrum in the afternoon, and got a cup of coffee and a roll in the lobby of the museum (free food and coffee is always an excellent draw for students!). There were several new exhibits since the last time we were there. We managed to get some slightly better photos of the Vigeland sculpture this time, though it seems to very difficult to get the whole thing (even though it is quite small) and still get a good image. Guess better lighting is needed than our camera flash can provide. They have some really beautiful paintings of northern Norway, and have included a couple of photos of those. On the way home we took a route that goes through a track field that is located in a niche pretty close to the top of the hill where we live. It was a good place to get some photos of "snow mountain" (that's what I call it--it's really called Tromsdalstinden).
