We have had a cold and wonderful weekend here in Trondheim. Today I went down to the city center to enjoy the sun and shoot some photos.
This first picture is from the river Nidelven. You can see the Old Town Bridge. The Old Town, Bakklandet, is to the left.
If you come visit Norway and Trondheim I can recommend this wonderful hotel Britannia. A beautiful building and a great place to stay.
This is the statue of the viking Olav Tryggvason. He founded Trondheim in 997. He was King of Norway from 995 to 1000. For more interesting reading about the King please see HERE.This statue is 18 meters tall, but I have cut away some ugly rooftops and a crane. I wanted to focus on King Olav and the moon.
Very nice, so crisp. I am grateful for the tour of Norway, or parts there of. I have two best friends from jr. high that are Norwegian, we are still friends to this day. This gives me more insight into the world they came from.
ReplyDeleteSimply, I enjoy photography period!
Cheers

Steike fine bilder Ivar.
ReplyDeleteHer har det vært overskyet og opp mot 10 stive i helgen så det har ikke blitt den store fotohelgen.
Nydelige bilder Ivar. Takk for titten i Trondheim :o) Så det er der godværet har vært ja, som John sier har vi ikke hatt noe i nærheten av bra vær.
ReplyDeleteHa en flott "Macende" uke :o)
Hi, I really like the pic of the King with the Crescent Moon on his Head!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clear weather photos. I cant decide if their taken on the same day the cresent moon looks slightly fuller above the Kings head than above the hotel.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lonely with no people on the streets.
ReplyDeleteWonderful compositions - (caught my attention)the people on the bridge, the bicycle almost a part of the scroll work, and the king crowned by the moon.
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing buildings and architecture!
ReplyDeleteI would so much love to visit your area. It's SO beautiful and has a lot of character that is amazing!
So much beauty!
I love the moon right over the king's head.
ReplyDeleteNydelige bilder Ivar.
