Ted's Excellent Pictures* Taken In Norway
May 2001
*and postcards
Touring Osterfjord - near the island of Osterøy
Using a fish-eye lens to get it all in
Kjeragbolten: a boulder precariously wedged between two mountainsides
(A postcard - I couldn't be bothered to hike all the way up there!)
Touring Lysefjord
Gets a little (yawn) repetitive after a few hours!
There's the Preikestolen
What's the Preikestolen?
Preikestolen: "Pulpit Rock"
Postcard says "Freedom and life are one"
(Maybe that's some sort of Norwegian way of saying there are no railings!)
Bergen
Bergen
Waterfall near Mo - the tiny town with the tiny name
There are even towns in Norway with one-letter names like Å
(That's an A with a circle on top - which comes after Z in the Norwegian alphabet)
Nærøyfjord: "Narrow fjord"; near Flåm
Geirangerfjord - where there are waterfalls on both sides
Geirangerfjord, showing the town of Geiranger at the head of the fjord with about 300 residents
Ålesund
Enjoying the long sunset, and the view, over Ålesund
May 17 is Constitution Day - parades and flag-waving throughout Norway
(This parade is in Trondheim)
The spectators were equally as interesting!
Mmm - she can handcuff me anytime! 😉
Trondheim
These 4 pictures taken around Lofoten,
an archipelago of small and isolated islands north of the Arctic Circle
Not bad for north of the Arctic Circle
Been there, done that, got the postcard
Oslo
Vigeland in Oslo: park and museum for 212 naked scupltures by Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943)
Brewed in Tromsø - Good for what øl's ya!
There's something different about Norwegians, but I just can't put my fjord on it!
A final postcard to round out the webpage
