Gamle Bergen Museum, a photo from Hordaland, South

Photographer's Note

Gamle Bergen Museum is an open air museum located a few kilometers north of the city center. The museum that opened in 1949 has a great collection of old buildings. Most of them have been moved from their original locations in the city center. Some of the buildings are inhabited. The museum are open from april to september.

Sunday we had a break from the bad weather type we`ve had so far this year. The low sun created interesting shadows along the ancient facades.

J'ai visité quelques musées en plein air lors de mon séjour en Norvège mais pas celui-ci avec ses belles maisons en bois bien ensoleillées.

Hello Erling,
I like old houses such as these, and it's nice to see a collection of them together. I like the way each one is slightly more elevated, and the green railing that rises with them. I think my favorite part of this photo, though, is the wonderful tree shadow on the side of the lowest house. The winter lighting is really lovely here.

Hello Erling,
The few hours of sun in wintertime are precious moment in Norway, so I reckon. You taken this advantage well, show those old wooden houses on the museum area with fine details, good clarity and trees shadows upon the walls.
View uphill's rendered wonderfully.
Enjoy a nice weather weekend, we also had a 4 days winter storm, snow on high terrain like Jerusalem and Galilie.

Hej Erling. Ja; det er en stor fornøjelse at se en sadan rigtig typisk norsk træbygning. Dem har vi ikke så mange af i Danmark. Jeg bliver helt nostalgisk over et slikt foto; min mormor, Lily, var jo fra Kristianssund, og i min barndom besøgte vi landet en del gange. Dit foto passer perfekt ind i mine minder.
Iøvrigt er det en flot og vellykket billede. Den lave sol og de lange skygger på huset (især gavlen) giver en fenomenal effekt.
De bedste hilsner
Frank
