Snødag


Torsdag 25. februar snødde det hele dagen. Ca 30 cm på flatene i byen var vel snittet. Puddersnø. Helt sikkert flotte skiforhold i Byheiene til helgen. //
Thursday Feb 25, we had snow all day. See pictures under Haugesund Today in right margin, check the actual date.

Ishall i Haugesund

Ice skating hall opened February 2010

 

Vinter


2. Februar: Det har snødd mye mer. Se 6 bilder under Haugesund Today ( høyre marg). More snow has fallen. Check February 2 for 6 pictures.


Regionens nye TV-kanal
 

En entusiastisk gjeng med lokale mediafolk har startet en WebTV-kanal som fokuserer aktuelle tema og hendelser i byen og regionen vår. sebyen.no (means: see the town)  is a new, modern web TV channel with a local focus  on the Haugesund region. 
 

Isen holder bedre enn på lenge

24 januar 2010: På vannene i distriktet vårt ligger isen tykkere og sikrere enn på mange tiår, etter ukesvis med kulde. Folk storkoser seg. Se glimt fra 23. og 24 januar i bildelinkene under Haugesund Today. For the first time in "decades", we have had freezing temperatures for more than a month. That means: safe ice on all local lakes - and lots of ice based activity. See pictures in right margin.


Vestlandsbussens historie

Haugesunds Avis omtalte for litt siden at Vestlandsbussens historie var lagt på nett, men de oppgav feil nettadresse. Klikk her for tilgang til en stor presentasjon med masser av bilder av Kristian Kjeldsen Saltvedts initativ I 1936, som på en måte brøytet vei for dagens Haukeliekspress. I tillegg inneholder nettsiden stor omtale og masse bilder av Saltvedts firma Vest-Transport, som drev trailertrafikk. Norw. text article about the Vestlandsbussen project from 1932 on, in many ways leading to the present Haukeli express bus service.  Lots of old bus and truck pictures.

 

Winter since Dec 19, 2009
 
12 jan 2010: Bildet viser snømåking tidlig morgen på Vormedal søndag 20. des 2009. Siden har vi hatt snø og kulde.
Early morning on Vormedal (just south of the town), Sunday, December 20. Since then we have had winter.




Meget kald dag, og verre kan det komme til å bli!  This site is a "one man show". When the actual man is busy in his office all day long, and days are short as well, he don't see light enough to shoot a daylight picture. Today, Monday January 6. is the coldest I can remember here in my beloved home town, Haugesund.  It may very well be even worse. (a couple of early morning street sceneries in right margin)


First picture of 2010

Tatt kl 00.01 på Salhus, Karmøy

HAPPY NEW YEAR:  Same place as last years New year firework picture. This year, restrictions make only low height firework legal, and the new lighted bridge give us a different view:

God Jul / Merry Christmas


God Jul ønskes alle som besøker mitt nettsted. Jeg vil prøve å ta og presentere noen juleglimt i dagene som kommer.
I wish all visitors to this site Merry Christmas, and will try to take and present some Christmas time pictures in the days to come (Right margin)

 

Første snø
Se 19-20. desember (høyre marg). Bildene er tatt lørdag formiddag. Det har snødd mye senere på dagen og søndag formiddag. Temperaturen har ligget på null pluss lørdag, men det blir kaldere. Det ligger sannsynligvis til rette for hvit jul! See Dec 19-20 for first snow pictures, shot before noon Saturday Dec 18. It has kept on snowing during the day and night, with temps at or just over the freezing point. Sunday is even whiter. Weather forecast for Crhistmas says snow!

10 år siden Sleipnerhavariet



26. nov 2009: Det er 10 år siden Sleipnerulykken. Båten gikk på store Bloksen ved Ryvarden og sank. 16 omkom. Dette nettstedet har fremdeles liggende de fortløpende oppdaterte sidene med bilder og tekst fra letingen, minnearrangementer og hevingen som skjedde 21 august 2000.

The fatal Sleipner accident happened November 26, 1999. The brand new express passenger ferry ran ashore on
the rock Bloksen (picture from July09), just north of Haugesund and sank. 16 people died. This site was present during search operations in the days after the incident, and when the remains of the boat was salvaged August 21, 2000.

 

Opplyst Karmsund bru


Se bildelinker under Haugesund Today 16. nov. 2009: Haugaland Kraft har gitt oss alle en nye, visuell opplevelse: Den stilfulle Karmsund bru har fått lys i mørke. Jeg har fotografert den fra 4 forskjellige steder langs østre bredd. New floodlight on the Karmsund bridge from November 14, 2009 - given by the local electricity company Haugaland Kraft. I have shot it from four different places along the east side shores of the Karmsund.

Grå morgen


Fredag 25 september er en grå høstdag. Det er egentlig meldt kuling, men morgenen var heller tåkestille. Se noen glimt til høyre i bildet.
Friday Sep 25 is a grey and hazy fall day. Forcast actually says strong wind, but the morning is more like a quiet fog day. See some fresh impressions in the right margin of this picture....


Øyene utenfor byen vår

Har mye bilder i samlingen min, bl.a. hundrevis av flyfotos. Her er noen av øyene i havet vest for byen vår:
Vibrandsøy, nord-Karmøy, Røvær, Føynå, Urter og Utsira. Have 130.000 pictures in my photo collection. Here are a few  airials  shot through 2008 and 2009 that I was "surprised" to find. They are islands outside Haugeund town. All inhabitet, except from Urter. There they only have one house, for sheep grassing on the 500 m long main island of its group, between Røvær and Utsira.


Byen og nord-Karmøy

Ta en titt på denne ikke helt perfekt og tilkuttede sammensydde montasjen. Et slik bilde ser du ikke ofte. Take a look at this not 100% correctly nested picture (two photos)

 

"Åpen øy" på Vibrandsøy

Lørdag 5/9-2009 var Vibrandsøy stedet. I forbindelse med at Haugesund kommune overtok en betydelig del av øygruppa ble der holdt åpen øy-arrangement med aktiviteter, turløyper og informasjon. Article with lots of pictures from Vibrandsøy i Haugesund.

 

Ny bok fra Vormedal

Tor Inge Vormedal har lansert sin nyeste bok, "Et lite stykke paradis". Den handler om Vibrandsøy. New Vormedal book about the Haugesund island group Vibrandsøy (Sep 05, 2009).


RS Stavanger


Haugesund 25 August 2009
For ca 100 år siden bygget Colin Archer en rekke spesiellt robuste og effektive båter for redningsselskapet. Noen av dem er bevart, men ingen så godt som RS Stavanger (RS 14). Nå er den på vei til Oslo for å bli landsatt og bli museumsbåt, på Norsk Sjøfartsmuseum ved siden av Fram og Gjøa. Uten motor og bare med seil og årer krysset den sakte inn Krossen og la til på Indre kai tirsdag kveld (se bilder tir 25 aug 09). The  very authentic former resque vessel RS Stavanger stopped over in Haugesund on its way to Oslo where it will end up as a museum. The boat was built in 1901, and has been restored to its original condition, without engine, with oars and sail only. It was interesting to follow  it crossing towards Inner quay for the night, before comencing to Stavanger Wednesday Aug 26. See pictures August 25.

Tor 20-søn 23 August var årets Havnedager I Haugesund. Lørdag var det Verdens lengste Sildabord: Bilder til høyre.

Flott 17. mai

Torsdag 14. mai 2009 feiret byen Risøy bro's 70-årsdag. Samtidig ble det markert at
broen fikk årets "Vakre veiers pris".  Vi var ute med kamera og festet noen inntrykk på "filmen" (se Torsdag 14. mai under Haugesund Today, i høyre marg). Der var program i byen fra kl 12, og festkonsert på Indre kai med Rita Eriksen og Team Hanne kl 2100, og så finalen, det spektakulære fossefallet fra broen , et annerledes "fyrverkeri" kl 23.00.

link til den aktuelle serien, og her en til avisens bilder fra jubileumsdagen.

Les artikkelen om hvordan Haugesund "ble til". I 2004 feiret vi at det er 150 år siden!

 

Det var slett ingen selvfølge at det skulle bli områdene rundt Haugesundet som ble byen ved Karmsundet. Kopervik lå lenge an til å vinne konkurransen om å bli ladested eller kjøpstad!
