Fog bells and traktors

 September 11th    Trondheim - Stadsbygd (Sandbakken marina)

Short motor after work today.

Before I left Trondheim we got a short stopover from a new built traditional jekt.

Got another nice evening. At least on pictures - there where a couple of quite hefty showers - but in between sights like this appeared.

In the evening light the fog bell at Rødberg became even more worth the short walk from the marina. The fog bell is built after standard drawing and is of the same type as the other 4 preserved fog bells in Norway (all in the Oslofjord). It was erected in 1919 and retired in 1986. Radard and chart plotters has made this kind of navigational aids obsolete.

On my short walk this old Volvo. Its said that the only thing that prevents most Volvos from being classified as traktors is that they lack the ability to apply brakes on one side only. This is a real traktor though.
