Sweet Swan

Sunrise

Sunrise today. A cold winter morning and the sun is rising under the bridge Kroppan Bru in Trondheim.

Fotosafari in Trondheim

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.

Bridges between/ Broer som binder

A new bridge across the river Nidelven in Trondheim is under construction. The bridge and the new road will guide traffic around our city center. Hopefully there will be less traffic jam when this is finished.

For more bridges around, please visit Visual Norway. Rune is the creator of this great meme.

My World Tuesday

This week I will show you a power station a 10 minutes walk from my house. The river is called Nidelven and the station is Nedre Leirfoss power station. The river is only 30 km long, running from the lake Bjørsjøen through the center of Trondhiem and into the Trondheimsfjorden.

Nedre Leirfoss power station started producing power back in 1910 and produces 65 GWh per year.
