Sunday June 11th was the opening of the Family-life in the lighthouses- exhibition at Leirvik fyr. It was the \u201cfriends of Leirvik fyr\u201d-group (lighthouse) that invited me to exhibit ath their newly renovated lighthouse. It is no longer in use as a lighthouse, but a beautiful place only 8&amp;nbsp;minutes from downtown Leirvik by boat.<\/p>\n

Ella V\u00e5gsvoll welcomes the guests to the exhibition, on this picture placed in the hall.<\/p>\n

The two-story house had pictures in all rooms.<\/p>\n

The top picture here with the man and the women sunbathing, was bought by Stord municipality art-delegation, and given as a gift to the friends-of-Leirvik-fyr- volunteer group to hang permanently at the lighthouse.<\/p>\n

Ella again, this time busy in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Two bedrooms are on the second floor, now decorated with more family-life pictures.<\/p>\n

The picture above is actually quite rare. The lighthouses were way west in the ocean, and because of the Gulf-stream and the salty air, there was hardly ever snow here. To get enough snow to make a snowman would have been quite extraordinary!<\/p>\n

The picture below actually doesn\u00b4t belong to the exhibit, it was one I made especially for when the exhibition was in Denmark. These are Danish fishing-boats.<\/p>\n

In the hall, you\u00b4ll also find this young man, collecting eggs from the chickens.<\/p>\n

And in the previous machine-house, these pictures decorated the walls.<\/p>\n

Over a hundred people came to visit, some to see the exhibition, some for the book-lanuch of Knut Angell\u00b4s book about Leirvik fyr, and some to see the newly opened and restored lighthouse. Music and home-made cakes made it well worth the trip.<\/p>\n

Liv Unni Oma took the photos below, from the outside of the lighthouse, showing some of the activities.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is open next Sunday too, but with no organized boat to bring visitors.<\/p>\n
