Lovely scenery, Mike. 2 years ago I visited Lofoten for winter photography and it was just amazing.

Thanks for the link Klaus. I have put the photo into the post now. What doesn’t show on the photo is that the church is formed like a cross. The cross shape works extremely well inside the church as you can see the pulpit and the altar from anywhere position inside. There is a very ornate old door with a lock that looks as old as the church.

I love the nature and the historical sites in Norway. Maybe I should have been a tour guide. There is one place we have visited numerous times in the east of the country with houses dating back as far as the 15th century, but every time we go there it rains cats and dogs. Very frustrating. The weather rules our lives here. Nevertheless if you get a chance to see it, it is worth the effort and the price.

I like to see that Skibet (the ship) still has a Danish Flag, at least dating back to 1814 when Norway separated from Danish rule.

You have a good eye Madts. Yes Norway was a football kicked back and forth between Denmark and Sweden for many centuries. That is probably why we read Danish so well And we can understand what t the Swedes are saying. We are all friends now and that is good.

beautiful country you live in. Norway is near the top of places I want to visit.

Well worth the visit. You just have to mentally prepare yourself for price shock. It seems like just about everything here costs at least twice as much as in the U.S.A. or Canada with very few exceptions.

Wow! Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing the photos!

Beautiful Mike. How do I book your guest room? :-)
Canadians might not see the same price tag shock as Americans. Our prices are about half again what American prices are.

You just need to show up to book our guest room Paul. Just make sure we are home and not in Sweden first.
