Bergen and the Fjords, Norway (2007)

We took a week of holiday in Scandinavia, starting with Bergen on the western edge of Norway. Bergen is known for its majestic fjords—deep mountain cuts carved out by retreating glaciers.

Serene calmness.

Another postcard-perfect scene.

A seaside town.

We stopped at the small town of Flam.

This is Flam Bay. Heh.

Here is a picture of Flam flan.

This is a buoy in Flam. One might even say it is “Flam-buoyant…”

Okay if you’re not laughing, they you’re too cool for me.

Carmel enjoyed it, but personally I thought 27 was a bit much even for a piece of ass. muffin.

Now on a scenic windy train we passed a number of waterfalls.

And the train continued on through the wild and tranquil landscape of Scandinavia.
