Monica Gullesen Hansen
and
Ekte Lykke

Nice job ladies!

This charming town was rebuilt after a fire in the early 1900's with the help of Kaiser Wilhelm,
 of Germany, in the Art Nouveau style, unlike anything else you may see in Norway.

Check out the detail on these buildings:

This was one of my favorite stops!

Thank you for playing and good luck !

  4. Wow, I won ! Thank you, this will be fun to follow. I think this is in Sogn og Fjordane or Møre og Romsdal, but where I have no clue. Have a nice evening.

  5. This is fun! I know this one as well :-) This is the village Geiranger - one of the most beautiful places in Norway. The fjord and the mountains are just spectacular.

  6. I am way behind on this game!

    I don't know where today's photo is, but I will say that it is Wildly beautiful (there's a W for you). I think all your Norske readers will have a definite edge here.

    The Art Deco buildings are lovely - I like the definite Scandinavian overtones of those stylised flower details.
