Bergen, Norway
p.1 #1Bergen, Norway
In the summer of 2024, I spent three nights in Bergen, Norway. My apartment was ideally located just a short walk from the iconic Bergen Havn. While the harbor is often crowded with tour buses during the day, the atmosphere shifts beautifully in the late evening. Since the sun never fully sets in the Norwegian summer, the lingering twilight provided the perfect, quiet conditions for photography. Here is a collection of images from around the harbor.

From my visits to Scandinavia I have found the people to be great too - friendly and happy to share their interesting food and culture and all around great fun to be with and to bring their part of the world alive.

Thank you Al and Bill, I tried to find if there is a specific name to the old building in image #3 but couldn't really find it. That whole are of Bryggen is USNESCO world heritage site and there are many historic buildings which are now turned into small shops. Here is bit more information about Bryggen,
Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town’s importance as part of the Hanseatic League’s trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Many fires, the last in 1955, have ravaged the characteristic wooden houses of Bryggen. Its rebuilding has traditionally followed old patterns and methods, thus leaving its main structure preserved, which is a relic of an ancient wooden urban structure once common in Northern Europe. Today, some 62 buildings remain of this former townscape.
