You may remember several years ago that Toby and I were in Scotland a couple of weeks before Jesse joined us. I thought it was interesting that Jesse took pictures of the same scenes that I had taken pictures of earlier. Maybe as artists, we have a similar eye for things. I could write a whole post on some of those similarities, but this post is on Toby and his differences.
As you probably know, Toby spent a week in Norway. Part of that time was in traveling to and fro with only a few workdays in Norway (part of the reason that I did not get to go with him). Since the days are short in Norway this time of year, he did not get much chance to take pictures with the camera I sent. In fact, he did not get to do any real tourist thangs. Mostly he worked. One day, though, he did get out and about - walking to a meeting with bankers. He took a few photos on his way. I think he takes photos of things he thinks I would like. He took some photos to show me the architecture.

Some good.

not so good, but interesting.

He went by a park and took a few pics.
I had to ask him why he took some pics.
His answers:

Scissor trusses.

Sailboat, but the pole got in the way,

the top of the pole was interesting.

Churches are always interesting.

He is interested in bicycles - saying that even in winter the people rode their bicycles.

And trash trucks. Once a trash man; always a trash man.

Sailboats and

ships

Harbor and birds.

and more birds

another bird.

and a statue of birds.
These photos crack me up. I told him they were definitely blog fodder.

I like the pictures, a lot. Toby's photos show the common, the ordinary, the way the people who live there no doubt see their surroundings. Nothing fancy but good nevertheless. The pictures spoke to me. That's a good thing, right?
Which city is this, Lou?
And what Chris said.
Stavanger. Anyplace there is drilling, Halliburton is nearby.
I like the photos because they say, "I didn't have much time, but I was thinking you would like this..." The scissor trusses and trash truck are all Toby.
Great photos. Much like Gene takes.....
Gene and Toby may be long lost brothers.
