Truth is that there are small mirrors in between the wall panels.

But it looks like the doors closing.

I don't believe that.

Really?

Really.

Cool. I like the overall blue tonality.

Thank you Lester. :-)

You're welcome.

That's me, circa 1998.

I never imagined that an elevator could make me wish I could read Norwegian.

Reminds me of this funny child who misread the sign the other day.

For "brann" (fire), he read "barn" children-- and told me "Oops! lift must not be used by children!?"

(In case of fire, do not use elevator: Use the stairs.)

"in case of children, do not use elevator"

excellent! that'll teach the little buggers!

"Brann" is similar to German "Brennen" to burn which makes sense considering the near relation of the two languages. But I'm struck by "Barn"-children. It's very much like Scottish "Bairn". Those damn Vikings really did travel all over the island of Britain.

Yes--

Somehow, I don't think that language lessons were the main point of the Norse trips to England. Just a guess, ya know.
