Up in Jølster, at Vassenden, where we spent ski week this year, I found this copy of a painting by some famous Norwegian artist of the 1880s. Someone had put it up on a wall in the reception area of the hotel we were staying at. Does anybody know the name of the painter? I didn't think to write it down.
One of the things I like about this image is how much of the city is still recognizable 130 years later. Next time I travel to Bergen I will try to take a picture from the same perspective (it will have to be from the boat!), to compare more directly.
