Yes, it's Our Lady's Church (VÃ¥r Frue Kirke).

There is actually a bike ride encircling a part of the fjord (Trondheimsfjorden rundt):

^^Yes, very green and almost fully leafed out.
If the river dries out completely, is there any fish there? Maybe some water left in some deep pools?
I used to fish salmon in a local river...

Got photos frommy family in the SW, there are areas where most trees look like this, still budding or just leafing out. Looks like they're oaks, though different species than those found in northern France. Strange as it isn't from an elevated area.

Maybe it's me, but you seem to take less leisure bike rides.



Couple pics I hadn't posted. Last Sunday was overcast with altitude clouds, most of the day the filtered sun would cast shadows. Typical example of a day that would be seen as "fine" in Paris, but would be called a bad weather day in Nice.





Oops, I forgot the palms.






Couple pics from Aix-en-Provence 3 weeks ago on the road between Paris and the Riviera.

One of the numerous "moss fountains" of the city, due to the calcareous waters.

Favorite. Oh man, you just got me in the mood to go for a hike somewhere local. Yeah, driving by the rivers its nice to see something flowing in them this year.

Oh wow the USGS Station! I have an abandoned building like that near a river and had no idea what it was. I bet was that!

Some pictures from my area, late afternoon/evening, about 18c, north-eastern wind in the afternoon, cloudless, that what you can see in the sky is from airplanes.



These should be on first picture from left to right: Scots elm, unknown bush, birch, maple, bird cherry





Most of lindens are bare what you can see on last picture, maples have leaves but not in normal size yet. Prunus or bird cherry is in flowers (I saw first ones on Tuesday) as well cherries and other such trees. Normally in this time should be lilacs in flowers but not in this year.
High wild grass is still yellow as the new grass under it is too short. That is also because it has been very dry, 2 mm of prec. in this month only.
There are first solitary strawberry tussocks in flowers in gardens, normally should be more told me my relative who knows about them.

This I took yesterday evening, poplars

Nice atmosphere in this pic. It is about time for the first decent t-storm here!
