Huldra emerges from the forest to dance next to Kjosfossen Falls
On the Noway in a Nutshell tour, in the summer anyway, tourists get to experience a Huldra. She appears near Kjosfossen Falls, does a dance, and then disappears into the forest once again.
Over on my other blog, I’m posting a week’s worth of photos from a late October trip down the Historic Columbia River Highway in Northern Oregon. If you are interested, you can check it out by clicking here.
Strøget soon after the sun set
I made good on my earlier promise to post an evening pic of one of the most picturesque shopping streets in the world.

Bergen's Bryggen (wharf)
Bryggen, in Bergen, Norway, is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Look closely and you’ll see that each building is tipping in a slightly different way. Some of the buildings in this area are hundreds of years old. Most have burned down once or more over the years and then been rebuilt in basically the original style. Today’s photo shows just three of the buildings, but there are actually more than a dozen lined up in a row like this.
“Friday, August 21, 1942
Now our Secret Annex has truly become secret. Because so many houses are being searched for hidden bicycles, Mr. Kugler thought it would be better to have a bookcase built in front of the entrance to our hiding place. It swings out on its hinges and opens like a door. Mr. Voskuijl did the carpentry work. (Mr. Voskuijl has been told that the seven of us are in hiding, and he’s been most helpful.)”
I had not done any research on what to expect when visiting the Anne Frank Museum. Normally at museums there are displays, photos, and such, but to actually encounter, and enter through, the bookcase that hid the Franks and the others in hiding at 263 Prinsengracht was a bit of a rush.
Ghost at Getaway Rock Festival
Did you know that Ghost will be touring the US and Canada beginning next month? It’s true. Perhaps you can see them in person. The best part is that you won’t just get Ghost’s short set (they only have one CD). They are opening for my current favorite band, Enslaved. The two bands couldn’t be much more different so it will be interesting to see what people coming for Enslaved think of Ghost and what those coming for Ghost think of Enslaved.
Ghost
I would love to see Ghost and Enslaved again, but considering I’ve seen them both twice now, and they aren’t playing anywhere near my location, I will not be making the road trip for these two bands this time around.
Here is a video I took of Ghost covering The Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun”. Sorry for the poor audio on the bass. I was using auto sensitivity on my camera‘s audio, and I later learned that low sensitivity, instead of auto, works much better for loud concerts.
