Holy ...! Thats a cannon, seth!

Anyway, since this is a Norway-thread I`ll promote the most beautiful city in the world, Aalesund:

Beautiful city, Stabiz! Whats the renown for that sailing ship to the left?

[Safe-Keeper]

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.

Many thanks to the Norwegian tourist board for the great pics

Yes lets hope it stays that way
You're very lucky

@ safe-keeper: You live in a truly beautiful area! Thats for sure! Nice pics indeed!
I was just thinking: My ex-girlfriend (yeah, we broke up, but are still excellent friends) has a car, that weighs about 800 kg (a nissan micra -86). This cannon could actually toss something that heavy all the way to Narvik! What a sight, indeed!

[stabiz]

:rotfl:Nissan Micra! I have ravaged my moms Micra several times. It is really fun to put that car through roundabouts at high speed. Understeer!

(By the way, my ex girlfriend also had a Micra, seth, maybe its a Norwegian thing)

Sorta on topic; I would love to see a Micra be shelled from Harstad to Narvik, since I have a strong distaste for budget cars with no soul.

Loos!
