Gol stave church

by Henrik (15/02/11) Email

The first stop on our vacation in Norway was Oslo. A stop we made because we wanted to visit a few museums there. One of them was the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. It's an open air museum that contains many old building of various age and the one I was most interested in seeing was the Gol stave church. It is a type of church that, I far as I know, doesn't exist in Sweden. I wanted to see it because I probably won't see another one again. I like the design of the church, kinda medieval looking.

Last post with pictures from the Tiger Temple. This time with photos on non-tiger animals. There were a lot of other animals roaming around freely on the temple grounds and I didn't waste any opportunity to take photographs of them. They were mostly farm animals, but we saw some wild animals too. These are the best pictures I managed to take on them.
