Today seemed like a good day to race up Fløien. Need to get in shape for when Deanna and I race up Machu Picchu next month! I took my camera along. Started the timer at the bottom stop of the Fløibanen and started up. Passed a group of retired women coming down, and a group of retired men passed me on the way up. I no longer have any shame about being passed by people much older than me, after seven years of experience! But then, I saw this:

Storms Nina and Ola really put the hurt on Fløien! Lots and lots of downed trees. This picture was supposed to go out of clear focus in the distance, but I haven't figured that out yet, apparently.

Deciding not to try "slip slidin' away", I took the Fløibanen back down to town.
Ya gotta love Bergen!
