Foxy to the zoo part 9 About the landscape on the Blue Road and in the Lycksele zoo. Horses, goats, ducks, reindeer and musk ox. 2002 - 2008 |
 |
|
|
In this site I will tell about
the bus trip, and how the zoo looks. This bus is going to Mo i Rana in Norway. But I will get off in Lycksele. |
|
 |
|
| This road is called The Blue road. But it's also called. E12. The pictures of the landscape are taken through the window of the bus. that's why you can see some reflections. The bus goes over the bridge over the Vindel River | |
 |

 |
|
|
2006. The Blue Road has a lot of
curves. The Blue Road goes from Mo I Rana by the Atlantic Ocean through the mountains and through the inside land, and through the coast land in Sweden, by boat over the Kvarken straits (Sweden / Finland) between Umeå and Vase, to Petrozavodsk in Russian. |
|
 |
|
| 2002-07-18. Here I was on my way home and had a seat by the front window in the upper part of the bus. The Blue Road is following the Ume River. Here it was raining in the distance. | |
 |
|
| 2002-07-18. Soon the rain was over us. But we kept dry in the bus. There were no wipers at the window in the upper part of the bus. But the driver down below of course had wipers. | |
 |
|
| 2002-07-18. The rain stopped. Here we were in a village. | |
 |
|
| 2008-06-25. After I came to Lycksele I had to go about 1 kilometres from the bus station to the zoo. I had to follow a road named Vilhelmina Road. This road goes to the town Vilhelmina. (In former times it was spelled with W, but now with a V). There were nice houses and beautiful lilacs beside that road. | |
 |
|
| 2008-06-25. Now I did reached the end of town and the Vilhelmina road became a country road. | |
