Yes, same problem here, the page starts to load and sticks half way. No problems with other pages.
-
His web page isn't accessible either, so it's probaby a server issue, they had some heavy thunderstorms in Oslo yesterday.
-
I'm sorry. Yes there have been problems all weekend with the server where I have my web site and e-mail. Can't get into any of them myself either. I hope they will have it fixed when they are back to work tomorrow.
Edit: I noticed now that if you wait for a few minutes the pics will show.
-
No pics visible here in NI either
-
Nor in NZ. :'( Paul in OZ must have had them though. ???
-
I have heard now that there is someting wrong with the conenction to the server,, hopefully it will be done tomorrow morning.. When it's OK again I will post the rest of the pics.
-
Yes Lesley, I did see them.... or else I have a very active imagination? Not sure I like that question mark on the end of the statement...... are you besmirching my good name?? :P ;)
And no, they don't appear for me now, even though they did the other day. I still remember the lovely white Cornus with the black centre..... I so want to grow that. ;D But that goes for so many things I see in these forums. ::)
-
No besmirching going on here Paul, just expressing sadness that I was unable to see them, as I still am. Magnar's pics are always so good that I don't want to miss them.
(Just as an aside Paul, are you possibly going down to Melbourne for the Harvey/Henderson talks in September?)
-
Just checking!! ;D
I've emailed you re the September talk..... looking forward to finally meeting you in person, as opposed to over the ether. ;)

The connection to my web site is OK again and the pics are back :)
Here are the rest of the pics from the trip:

Coming through perfectly now Magnar, and well worth waiting for.

I must second Davids remark I was planning to say the same thing (great minds think alike and so on)! I know Carlberg is Danish but they now own breweries in Sweden that used to be Norwegian so they own Norwegian breweries too so today the saying can be relevant.
Nice to see the variation in the Dactylorhiza ;D and the Gymnadenia conopsea is great :o Did You only show the best one or was this the only one?
Kind regards
Joakim

Perfect, Magnar.... both the pix and the visit to your cabin!! Thank you!
A wonderful place for your family to enjoy!
-
Wonderful stuff Magnar !
Stunning Norwegian nature !
Thanks for taking us along to your cabin ! ;)

There were hundreds of Gymnadenia and thousands of Dactylorhiza only along the road up to the cabin. How many in the whole area one can only guess.

Wonderful pictures Magnar, a great look at some Norwegian flora. That's one very handsome young lad too. But then, I'm now sure that all Norwegians and Swedes ARE very good-looking. :)

Are You lucky enough to have any on Your property as well?
Kind regards
