The east part of Stavanger used to be - like any eastern part of any city - for the people who drank too much, who had too many children, who didn't earn The Money. The last 10-15 years, something is happening here, too.
For better or worse.

Valbergtårnet, one of quite few towers in Stavanger. It is the inspiration for a classic and deeply rooted children's book character and his tower, Tobias in Cardamom Town.
The coastal ship in front is M/S Sandnes, both operational and used for festivities at harbor.

From a few angles Stavanger has a surprising city vibe to her.
The man made lake side hotel and office buildings seen through the staircase of the 700 hundred year old Katedralskolen.

Still room for not so perfect architecture in a town like Stavanger.

A photo showing the changing face of Stavanger. From small (and not so small) houses to block of flats. But, still quite green, and with recreational spots, like a small man made lake, and a small ball playground. And a huge parking area.
The photo is from last autumn.

The strange story of the Swiss houses in Norway ...

I must admit I don't like the dead window panes, but I love that they have used old, traditional stone roof - a common feature here at Vestlandet because of the wind. It probably should have been a national treasure and saved.
