The squirrel on the run in Wordless Wednesday (!) was to express my situation. Though my desk has some unfinished tasks, I was on a 2 days seminar in a place called Solstrand hotel and bad. A 4 star hotel.
I donot want to share the details of seminar and bore you, instead I am presenting the beauty of this magnificent place for lens-artists-photo-challenge this week. I grouped the photos in 2 broad categories: Surrounding and from inside.

The garden
Walking around
Who wouldn’t enjoy this seat
This place is a hideaway by the fjords, situated directly on the shore of Bjørnefjorden – a mere 30 km from downtown Bergen and the airport.
The swans
Set in sloping 50-hectare gardens on the shores of Fusafjorden, this polished hotel dating from 1896, have fascinated guests from far and near.
How does it look from inside 🙂
The dining area
The pool inside and outside

Every person in Solstrand was happy for the fantastic weather yesterday. I am glad I took these photos yesterday. This morning it was a different scenario.

Everyone was glad for the sunshine. Now we have to wait until Monday. It’s plain 2 degree C with rain whole day.
We can sit inside and finish our work.
