Mine Sweeper


The Mine Sweeper M314 Alta is a floating museum placed beneath the Akershus Fortress in Oslo.
The ship was launched in 1953 and served in the U.S. Navy as AMS-104 and in the Belgian Navy as BNS Arlon (M 915). In 1966, Alta was taken over by the Norwegian Navy. Decommissioning was in 1996 – after 30 years of service!

Days of Freezing


It is damned cold these days in Oslo: -9 degC (=15.8 degF) for now. Ice covers the paths, the streets, and parts of the harbour. However, the weather was clear today, and there was no snow. I am waiting for summer to come!
