A short trip to Olsztyn, a polish city. This wasn’t event a photographic trip, but two things cought my attention: the only tree on the beach of Ukiel lake and geometry of the building where a stayed. So I took photos.
I like geometry and sharp lines on pictures. Minimalist, modern architecture is a great example. Connection of concrete, wooden panels and glass is a good subject to photograph.
The only tree stayed on this small sandy beach made by human. It looks kind of weird, that is why I like this photo. And the empty chairs look like you could just seat there and watch the tree. A bit abstract.

Purpose: hike to Preikestolen – Pulpit Rock, take a walk in Stavanger and see Sverd i Fjell – Swords in Rock.
Where: south-west Norway, Stavanger, Tau, Preikestolen, Lysefjord.
When: end of September 2017.
From-to: flying from Gdańsk Airport, Poland and arriving to Sola Airport near Stavanger. Bus to Stavanger Fiskepiren harbor and a ferry from Stavanger to Tau. Then a bus from Tau harbor straight to Preikestolen hiking trail start.
A weekend trip (2 days) by plane to Norway, Stavanger. Main purpose was to visit Pulit Rock. There was constantly some rain (not much) but rain is pretty usual in Norway. However the second day was sunny. The hike to Pulpit Rock was not recommended that day because of that rain and some wind supposedly strong at the top. There was a sign with this information at the beginning of the trail. We went up. Trail was not difficult, only the rocks were a bit slippery because of the rain. Pretty views on the top at Lysefjord. At the time there were very few people on the top of Pulpit Rock. On sunny days it is not possible to spend time in there without crowds.
Stavanger is full of street art. Architecture is very consistent, the same style of houses siding panels and colors everywhere, mostly white.

Ferry starting from Fiskepiren in Stavanger was quite fast.
There was quite big ferry traffic between nearest islands and harbors.
Next ferry in front of us and a Stavanger bridge.
Rocky islands on the way to Tau.
Rocks with some grass.
A strange hut on the way, very small, a bit minimalist and modern style. Closed.
Almost there.

Early morning in Stavanger. Almost the same white houses and black asphalt everywhere.
Sun is rising above neat Stavanger streets.
White twin houses.
White siding panels, white fence.
Roundabout and circular sidewalk above it. Very good idea, no lights, no zebra crossings.
Sverd i Fjell means Swords in Rock. The highest one has above 9 meters. This is a monument made of bronze. History of Sverd i Fjell.
