Day 1.
We started our trip in Lillehammer, Norway (and neighbouring Hunderfossen where we stayed the Sunday night). After the work portion of the day was done, we were driven to the top of the town and offered the choice to walk down beside the ski jumps. It seemed like a fun thing to do and a good opportunity to admire the views and take photos.
What we hadn't expected was the people would actually be jumping! There was no snow but apparently they don't need it, they were just landing on the green plastic surface - some kind of fake grass I suppose.

Oh my goodness - that's just nuts!
Well, that's amazing! I'm sure I didn't know they did that, although I remember sliding down a hill on a piece of cardboard one summer as a kid.
My God. I couldn't do that. No freaking way.
Wow - that is so cool!! =)
You're in Norway? That is where all my family is from! Say hi to any tall blonde people you see, I might be related....

Great pics! It looks like a lovely place. All that greenness. So are there any upcoming job vacancies in your department?! I could do with some work like this!
