A couple of days ago, we decided to go for a drive out of town, just to see something else.
On our little trip we found a few interesting things
Alia standing on a piece of cultural heritage (explanation below next picture)
Far out of town, up in the hills, we stumbled across a open field with, I think, 6 large rocks.
Each one had one single perfectly shaped hole in them.
Next to them was a sign that explained that this was a protected cultural heritage site, and that the fines for damaging them is pretty hefty.
But there was no explanation to what it was, and so far, everyone we have asked about it have no clue either.
The town we live in is located in the bottom of a bay, and there is a mountain range both on the peninsula west of town, and also on the mainland east of town. Because of this, all clouds get stuck in the mountains, and we can see rain up there at least once a week, but down in the town, it almost never rains. probably only 5-6 times this year, so far.
Because of that, up in the hills we have palm trees, and lush rice fields like in this picture, but down on the plain and in town...
...we only have dust, dry grass, shrubbery and cactus.
We also came across this house... Bright pink, neon green, orange, and red. And people say the houses in Norway are colorful...
These small bridges are quite common outside of town. Better to balance across a slippery log then to walk to the next real bridge
