Bergen pictures, hiking the mount Fløyen

Today we went for a long walk. We started by taking the Fløibanen up to mount Fløyen, one of the 7 mountains surrounding Bergen. After taking allot of pictures we walked down and on the way we stopped for even more pictures....

Our home is down there some where.

And my workplace is down there :-)

This is the note for the Bergen song, i think..

A little panorama picture of bergen

As i say earlier, we used the Fløibanen up to the top, Fløibanen is a funicular who is taking tourists an the ones who is living in the hill side up and down. This wheel was change some years ago and was the main wheel for running the funicular.

We are now allmoust down in city again, and on the way there is a old firestation (Skansen Brannstasjon) overlooking the city.

Thise one i taken only for Richard, who has a thing about Vikings.

At the end.

Autumn is her

It was just a matter of time.
The summer is leaving an we are closer to winter then ever before this year.
But the autumn also bring nice scenery, with beautiful colors and allot of motive for me to picture.

I'll start with a spring picture, this year.

And then the same place, this autumn.

Then i want to follow up with a picture from Bryggen i Bergen, taken this summer. For the ones who don't now, Bryggen (bergen Harbor) is on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage.

Then the last one, for now. I'll posted pictures from this fortress before, but it's so nice in the evening with beautiful lighting. It shows Bergenhus Festning (Fortress)

This last picture is actually going to be used in a historical book, who i to be published in spring 2009.
I got the signed contract back some days ago, and i send the picture to the publisher :-)

And then at the end
