I’ll admit right now, for Sam and anyone else who’s curious: if I had a more legitimate “canal” photo from the “country” I’d post it: must get out to the countryside asap once I’m back in Amsterdam this coming weekend and do so, or indeed I’ll have to let this series sleep for a bit. Still, lovely photo & fiord, eh? 🙂
Nearing the end of my photos from Zermatt at the end of October and the first days of November last year, so we’ll soon be showing you more of the snowy mountains of Norway instead of the sunny and snowy southern Swiss alps. But we do still have more from Ticino, rich in both lakes and mountains! 🙂
Nordkapp is continental Europe’s northernmost point, at 71N, located in the county of Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost county. In our first post from this stop I showed you the main town; today I’m showing you the marker above & below, plus some of the surroundings and various photos from the history exhibits and dioramas inside the museum, giftshop and cafe building. Before they built the road and museum, people had to rock up in boats and scale the cliffs: that’s one of the dioramas below :-). And yes, in 1907 the King of Thailand visited Nordkapp; as you see it was rather cold and windy when we were there so we enjoyed thinking of balmier climes…
Last Sunday all the kids and parents were out at Sloterpark, which we’ve been showing you a bit more recently. Since you enjoyed our last wooden “urban entrance” post from this same playground area, Jean, I took these with you in mind. 🙂
