La tuttane få henga!

By the shores of Mosvatnet, I came across a tree adorned with dummies.
What exactly is going on here? Is it a special place where Stavanger mothers bring their babes for some sort of rite of passage into toddlerhood?
If anyone can explain, I'd love to know!

Supermarket #2


A shiny new "Helgømat" has just opened in our district. This particular Norwegian supermarket chain always seems to involve a small natural history museum in its presentation. It's a shame there are no polar bears in this branch.
