Akershus Fortress is a medieval castle in the Norwegian capital Oslo that was built to protect and provide a royal residence for the city. Construction is believed to have begun in in the late 1290s by King Haakon V. For centuries, the fortress withstood numerous Swedish led sieges. It did surrender without conflict to the Nazis in 1940.

One of Norways must see tourist attractions. Located in Sola just outside Stavanger on the shores of Hafrsfjord it was the sight of a famous Viking battle in the 800’s.
The popularity of this site also makes it difficult to photograph without loads of tourists getting in the way…There are several behind the swords in this shot which I think I timed well not get them in the shot.
