ABC Wednesday:
N is for Norwegian Rain

With apologies to Rune of Visual Norway.


It rains a lot in Norway - here we saw it arrive as we looked down on Bergen.


Back in the city it teemed down.


A year later and I was in Oslo, overlooking the quay.


The rain didn't stop me taking a boat trip up the fjord though.

That was in 2005 and 2006.

I am supposed to be away on holiday in Jersey right now but ... At least we not stuck somewhere trying to get home.

For more N posts visit ABC Wednesday.

  4. So the Iceland volcano's gotten to your plans? Bummer.

    I like the look of a place after a refreshing rain.

  7. Rainy..but a lovely country, as your photos show.

    Hey, sorry we can't welcome you to our sunny shores here in Jersey. We're all kind of stuck at the moment aren't we?!

  8. You surely can't tell me it rains more in Norway than in Ackworth! I KNOW it rains more in Ackworth than in Flamborough!

  10. It surprises me to hear that it rains a lot in Norway! I imagined it to be a country of either snow and ice or sunshine!
