Western Norway

Many buildings in Norway have sod roofs which help keep the heat in and the cold out. Never did find out how they mow them. | ||||||||||||||||

| The roads in the hilly Ozarks are nothing compared to some of the roads going down the mountains in Norway. Not only are they curvy but they are narrow. Can you image taking a tour bus down one of these. Another unique feature of Norwegian highways are tunnels. They didn't just go up and town the mountains but built tunnels...some as long as 20 miles...through them. | |||||||||||||||||

| In western Norway you see not only the quiet, serene water scenes such as this at left but also many violent, noisy mountain streams (like the one below at Goi) that come cascading down the mountains fed with the melding snow. | |||||||||||||||||

| In early June as you ascend the mountains to go down the other side, you run into miles of terrain still covered with snow. Temperatures go up and down as well. | |||||||||||||||||

| On a drive through the hills and valleys of western Norway you may run across one of the 28 remaining stave churches in the country. At left is Heddal church. This structure dates back to 1250 AD. It is estimated that there were once about a thousand of these unique structures in the country. | |||||||||||||||||
