The architecture in Bergen is unusual.
|
|
We walked down here...
|
|
passing the mural..
|
The Leprosy Museum and
|
the art supply shop.
|
|
|
More architecture
|
And then the Fløibanen - funicular or cable car. No crowds - yet.
|
|
Going up?.
|
Bergen from the top.
|
Cruise ships in port.
|
|
A few tourists out early...
|
with the inevitable selfie-sticks!
|
|
|
Bergen from the hill.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cable car arriving - tme to take the ride back down.
|
|
|
|
|
An hour later and the crowds have arrived!
|
|
|
Walking through the fish market.
|
Grinegutten - The Crying Boy. Statue in Bygarten on the shore of Lille Lungegårdsvannet
|
The fountain in the lake. The Fløien Lookout is on the skyline behind.
|
|
Birds waiting to be fed.
|
The crows looked grumpy...
|
|
|
Plenty of food here.
|
The local pre-school on an outing.
|
Along the edge of the lake.
|
|
Church spire.
|
Statue of Christian Michelsen beside the lake. First Prime Minister of independent Norway from 1905-1907.
|
The man in gold is everywhere - Bergen, Paris, even York.
|
|
The Terminus Hotel near the train station.
|
The bar and whisky cupboard inside the Terminus.
|
Crowds surge forward to board the train to Oslo.
|
|
The last view of the fjord before the train climbs into the mountains.
|
Meltwater has swollen the rivers.
|
|
|
|
The station at Urdland, a typical railway building.
|
Remote holiday homes - no roads, only cycleways or cross-country skiing.
|
|
|
|
Back to Myrdal - but where are all the people now?
|
|
The line down to Flåm
|
|
Back to the snow and ice.
|
|
More remote cabins.
|
|
No people, but plenty of transport.
|
|
Rocky outcrops...
|
and more waterfalls.
|
Even the trains have holiday homes up here...
|
|
Dropping back down towards Oslo and the climate appears better.
|
And the cabins are larger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe it gets cold here in winter?
|
More logs for the fire.
|
And finally, more foxgloves.
