Norway

26 images Created 18 Jun 2010

Norway's rugged countryside and remote mountain farms gave birth to one of the most feared seafaring civilizations of pre-medieval Europe: the Vikings. Norway is a wildly beautiful country of snow-capped mountains and deep glacier-carved fjords. The scenic fjordland area along with historic towns and charming fishing villages are presented in this unique collection.

  • The scenic view along the Sognefjord, the world's longest and deepest fjord. I love this shot because it is so typically Norwegian and exactly what I thought Norway would look like. This was taken near Lavik, Norway.

  • Bryggen (Norwegian for the Wharf), also known as Tyskebryggen (the German Wharf) is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites. These historic shops present a colorful, scenic picture of the Bergen harbor.

Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites. Seen from the back, here, the tightly packed rooftops provide rich color and texture.

Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites. These historic shops were a challenge to shoot because they are so crooked. I used a zoom to compress the scene and allow me to get more of them in the shot. This was one of my favorite shots of  the bryggen.

  • Three enormous bronze swords stand monument to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in the year 872, when Harald Hårfagre (Fairheaded Harald) united Norway into one kingdom. The monument was designed by local artist Fritz Røed and unveiled by Norway's King Olav in 1983.<br />
<br />
The swords, which are about 10 meters tall, stand for peace and unification. One sword is larger than the others. This was Fairheded Harald's sword. The crowns on the top of the swords represent the three districts that participated in the battle. The swords are planted in solid rock - representing peace. The monument is called Sverd i Fjell (Swords in Rock).

Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites. Seen from the back, here, the jumbled rooftops don't say much for town planning in the middle ages!
