They fill or empty each lock so that the water level is the same from the lock the boat is in to the lock it will enter next.
In this photo, above, they have just opened the doors of a lock for the boat to pass through. Now it will sit and wait another 30 minutes or so to pass the next lock and so on.
This is just a very sweet photo of Jon David's sister, Hanne- Gudvieg and Ethan. Now Ethan has met both of his aunts! And all of his cousins! Which i soon want to blog about!
This is most definitely one of my favorite parks of all time! Every time I come to Norway, I get the pleasure of stopping by here. I wish i had at least one or two of the photos that i took of Jon David and I in this park over 8 years ago, when we were young and in love. It was my favorite thing to go by each one and pose next to the statues. This time we only
had time for one pose. There are so many that i couldn't even try to tell you. I love them because they represent humanity in it's raw form, the good the bad and the ugly, and yet, it is just so beautiful! The tall pillar leaves one to ponder on what was the artist really trying to portray. It is a pillar of bodies all piled on top of each other. Some are old, some young and even babies. Many think it is a depiction of the Holocaust. Anyways, it is a spectacular work of art!As you can see it is truly a remarkable place that no photo can do justice.
Today we went to Tvedestrand to have some Ice Cream. This is the town that i have shown here. So many beautiful houses on the water and a very special old town. Just thought i would share it with you.
More from my favorite park! Now you can kinda see how many there are...but not really.Where is Waldo? Or rather, Jon David?

Jon David took me for a walk through that park on my Birthday [except he didn't know that it was my Birthday at the time....] back in 2000 or 2001. It was lightly snowing and SO beautiful!! Just seeing your pics brings back lots of memories and makes me smile. Glad you are having such a fab trip!

You are doing such a great job at making us all feel like we are on your adventures with you. I miss you. Zumba misses you too. Any advice on what to do about my aching ankle?
Jenny- what happened to your ankle? Ice and heat with water in most cases. always stretch really well and put some tiger balm or some such on there. love and miss you and zumba too!
GORGEOUS PICS! Jenny's right, it feels as though we're on this adventure with you!
