Never. So soulful to me, as you know. I loved finding out about the special connection between Norway and Canada!<br /><br /><b>Ted:</b> Me, too! I LOVE the masts and ropes, etc. of these tall ships.

Now that I know we have roots there through G'ma Bennett, no wonder! It appears to be a part of the world untouched by so much of the dross elsewhere. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. Renny seemed to agree. I do agree with you about the wood. Anything wood sends me. :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-38431938398853784462011-04-27T12:45:18.632+02:002011-04-27T12:45:18.632+02:00The visual elements in your photos that show the i...The visual elements in your photos that show the incredible designs of this part of the world really send me. I love the inukshuk. Aren't they the best things? Your sepia ship image is a "Dutch" painting! <br /><br />I remember Dutchbaby's images of the Kon-Tiki, and falling in love with it then. There's just something about <i>wood</i> like that.<br /><br />Just beautiful!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-57508234655805806572011-04-27T07:43:46.537+02:002011-04-27T07:43:46.537+02:00Victoria: You tickle me to death.

Thanks for the appetizer. :) One of these days I'll get out my macro lens...I promise.<br /><br /><b>DB:</b> When Astrid and I go on photo hunts, we always amaze ourselves by the different photos we take of the same subjects. Thankfully you figured out your daughter's camera at the beginning instead of the end. The good news on our end is that I uploaded all our photos every day since I had my laptop with us. That really helped.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comment, especially about the sepia boats!<br /><br /><b>Victoria:</b> I had to wait all night on my end, of course! :D And it was worth it. THANK YOU. The fun thing about seeing those boats is that you really can imagine what it must have been like on them. Those were the days...of hardship and fun both, I'm sure. <br /><br />That colorful door at the folk museum is to a building I never went in and have no clue what building it is. It sits off the open courtyard once you enter though the arched doorway and before you walk off to the part where all the thatched buildings are. It's quite the place!<br /><br /><b>Carola:</b> There really IS a wealth of information at all 3 of these museums. It makes you imagine what those times were like!

Wh...I'd love to see all three of these museums! What a wealth of information. The Fram would probably completely catch me! So would the Kon-Tiki, so interesting. I saw one stave church when I was in Norway back in 1971 - we were on vacation in Sweden and did a day trip to Oslo. I mainly remember the ride on the ferry across Oslo Fjord.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-86403416869815303102011-04-27T00:05:54.914+02:002011-04-27T00:05:54.914+02:00I'm back... at last... long day and not over y...I'm back... at last... long day and not over yet here! I'm with "Dutchbaby" on the sepia-toned one of the boats... it is LOVELY (as is the collage below showing the same boats and the Fram museum! The collage of the Fram is quite nice too... what an adventure it would have been to be along on the explorations of the North and South Poles (although it must have been quite scary).<br /><br />I read the story of the Kon-Tiki years ago and enjoyed the reminder of that adventure too... and the collages with the splashes of deep blue color here and there (perfectly placed) are lovely!<br /><br />That colorful doorway (to the museum, I suspect) really caught my eye... orange is one of my favorite colors these days! And I would love to see that church in the last collage... the wood work looks fantastic. I am so enjoying your Norwegian adventures!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-46917655554630406222011-04-26T23:24:56.590+02:002011-04-26T23:24:56.590+02:00Amazing!

I love that!<br /><br />I made a very big boo-boo with my camera right after leaving the Kon-Tiki Museum. I was getting familiar with the settings of my daughter's camera, because I let my sister use my camera, and I accidentally pressed OK to the FORMAT command, instead of EXIT. Aaaaaargh! Fortunately, it was only the second day of our trip. I'm still lamenting some wonderful water shots at the harbor when the sunset was just so...<br /><br />Anyhoo, I love seeing your photos! That sepia-toned one with the two boats is a prize-winner!Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-56483782013850525842011-04-26T16:41:31.722+02:002011-04-26T16:41:31.722+02:00IF I write my usual longish comment now, I will ha...IF I write my usual longish comment now, I will have to forego my morning swim at the "Y" ... so I'll just say Hi here to let you know that I appreciate you stopping by my blog (as always) and leaving such wonderful comments! <br /><br />And I'll be back later to comment properly but a brief comment now... as usual... your architectural images and the collages are smashing! More later... (And yes, you have told me my macros inspire you... so let's see some from your world!)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.com
