Norway

Panoramas taken in Norway in July and August 2004.

Location: Stavanger

Panorama constructed from fifteen photographs ( 1 row of 15 ).

Location: Verma

Panorama constructed from ten photographs ( 2 rows of 5 ).

This bridge at Verma near Åndalsnes is described as "A tigers leap in stone". It was built, mostly with hand dressed stone, during the years of the First World War. The railway crosses the river doubles back on itself and performs a 180 degree turn inside the mountain before carrying on up the valley. Norwegian railway engeneering tends to the heroic end of the scale.

Location: Trollstiggen

Panorama constructed from fifteen photographs ( 3 rows of 5 ).

This amazing road is called Trollstiggen: The Troll Path. There are eleven hairpin bends. The climb from the bottom to the top is some 800??? metres. Until recently there were no passing places which must have made it really, really exciting. It is closed during the winter. I can't imagine why? Åndalsnes is just visible at the far end of the valley.

Location: Ålesund

Panorama constructed from four photographs ( 1 row of 4 ).

Location: Oldenvatn

Panorama constructed from seven photographs ( 1 row of 7 ).

Location: Lom to Gaupne road

Panorama constructed from eight photographs ( 1 row of 8 ).

Panorama constructed from nine photographs ( 1 row of 9 ).

Panorama constructed from five photographs ( 1 row of 9 ).

Location: Borgund Stave Church

Panorama constructed from six photographs ( 2 rows of 3 ).


Panorama constructed from six photographs ( 2 rows of 3 ).

Location: Lærdal to Flåm road

Panorama constructed from six photographs ( 1 row of 6 ).

Panorama constructed from seven photographs ( 1 row of 7 ).

The little roads in Norway are often the most interesting. This used to be the only direct road from Laerdal to Flåm. It is now bypassed by a long tunnel so gets very little traffic. The scenery from the road across the top is spectacular as is the kilometre drop on either side. The road is so narrow on both sides that it is hard to stop to admire the view.

Location: Waterfall near Flåm

Panorama constructed from five photographs ( 1 column of 5 ). This was shot hand held. Really not recommend for panoramas but the waterfall was the other side of the valley.

Well I think we should all sit down and have a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits, nice ones mind you. Oh and some cake would be nice as well. Lovely.
