Sverd i fjell

This 10 meter tall artwork is located at the shores of the Hafrsfjord. According to the sagas this fjord was the site of the last battle Harald finehair had to fight to become the first king of the Norwegians. The biggest sword represent the victorious king Harald, the others the two petty kings who was defeated. All swords are embedded in the rocks, not to be used anymore. This represent peace and unity.

I would , when I could. There are so many countries I visited that I would visit again with pleasure and others that I never visited and also would. So many. I would not have enough time, not to speak from money. I'm happy that I had the chance to visit a good number.

I know these swords well, Roar. It is very close to where we used to live in Tananger, and I used to visit it fairly regularly. Still missing Norway.

I remember those days (when we still had Panoramio). Since then, I have moved to a place just 2.5 hours from the swords, but this is the first time I have visited them.
