Byneset Church near Trondheim
Towards the water in a beautiful pocket of leafy oak trees is the Byneset Church.
Reindeer Herding – A Family Life
Reindeer herding is more than just an occupation, it is a way of life and an integral part of the Sami culture and identity.
Kvaløya Blue
This is our view to the west. After work the shore becomes alive with activity. Tromsøværing (the Tromsø folk) make the most of the afternoon sun with fishing, jogging and rollerskiing.

On any celebration table in Norway you can always find a Norwegian layer cake (bløtkake). What better way to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day than with fresh cream, wild berries and a little bit of sponge in between.
A Different Light
The sun never goes down during this season but the mountains to the East are so high that the sun still has to raise above them in the morning hours and an artificial dawn-effect wakes the city.
Norwegian Houses
Norwegian houses are very charming with their wooden panels and slate roofing. It is typical for a house to be painted a strong colour such as red, blue or yellow, but white is the most popular.

Cool pictures! It makes me want to visit Trondheim more than ever!
Cool, I assume they’re used for some system of guiding boats in. They look much nicer and more natural than the normal brightly coloured plastic buoy. Or are they for something else?

Yep – the canal has a two-way system – they guide the boats to stay on the right side of the canal. (‘Right side’ meaning ‘not wrong’…lol).
Me, too! (What Lisa said!)
i love, love that last photo. just took my first trip to norway a couple of weeks ago and hope to go back soon to explore further north.

from L-Jay:
It’s hard to decide when to come to Norway as the seasons are so dramatically different. In my opinion I think it is best to come twice – in Winter: snow sports, dog-sledding, aurora, etc; and in Summer: midnight sun, sun sports, boating, etc. But in practicality this can put a hole in your pocket.
Glad you liked Norway
I used to live in Trondheim – such a beautiful beautiful city! I miss it so much!
What cool photos these are! Love them.
