Thanks, _Seth_!
Some photos I took:
Old cabin, preserved as part of a farm museum.
If you climb to the top of the mountain behind my house and look down the other side to Nordvik...
Mariakirken (the Maria Church) shot through barb-wire atop a wall.
Another view of my hometown, looking down at the harbour.
A waterfall in a park near my old school, two kilometres from my home.
And here's the view from my house, on a particularly pretty night.
It has its problems, but it's a beautiful, wonderful nation. Let's hope we manage to keep it that way for a long time still. Bergen is strongly recommended, as is, well, just about every city in Norway I've been to. If you're planning to visit Sweden, the little town Karlstad near the Norwegian border is a must-visit. It's a gorgeous little place.
As for the cannon: Wow. Just wow. Even though I've seen photos of it a thousand times before, it simply never seizes to amaze me.
