From the upper decks of the Island Princess cruise ship, with a telephoto lens, it is interesting what can be seen.
The telephoto lens makes the church look closer than it really is. It is about a 20-minute walk away.
More pictures of the town are in the previous post without the telephoto lens. From the “HAVN”, there are interesting things towards the North Sea.
There are many international companies in Norway. Aibel is one of the largest suppliers to the energy industry working on the continental shelf. They are building and maintaining platforms for offshore wind farms as well as providing power for the oil and gas extraction from the North Sea.
Norway as a nation is environmentally conscious. Hence wind farms at sea and a high percentage of forested areas throughout the country. The ferry ship below is powered by natural gas, a cleaner burning fuel than bunker oil used by many tankers and some cruise ships.
Back to our travelling home for the next two weeks.
It looks very pretty. I could definitely go for that holiday apartment. Would be a good place to make paintings!
So very picturesque!! And love your traveling home..
You have a very good camera. Wonderful photos as always. And what a big ship! I haven’t been on a cruise for a very long time. I’m not sure if I will go on one again. It had been my favourite way to travel.
