The picture shows Jøssingfjord. Åna-Sira is about 10 km further south!

Hei, Irene! Ja, ta en tur og se på den. Og nordre del av Bohuslän er fullt av megalitter, helleristninger og andre fornminner. Vel verd et besøk! Hilsen Per

Thank you, yushuming! Yes, it is rather strange; usually this is a place like any other, but after a heavy snowfall and with a bright winter sun, it turns to a jewel!

Yes! Those three swords are not old, they are made of bronze, and they stand at Hafrsfjord, outside Stavanger. You will find them on GE - about 2-3 km west of Stavanger city. The artist's name is Fritz Røed, and they are rather accurate depictions of Viking Age weapons. They were erected around 1980 as a monument commemorating the battle in Hafrsford AD 874. In this battle Harald Finehair defeated South Norwegian kings and their Danish allies, and united Norway to one kingdom.

Thanks. I tried to find out the name earlier, but GE isn't of much help there and I lack detailed mps of the area.

Treklynga ute på jordet skjuler Farmannshaugen; en stor gravhaug som etter sagaen skulle være graven til kong Bjørn Farmann, sønn av Harald Hårfagre. Haugen ble gravet ut i 1915, og viste seg å være tom! Ingen grav ble funnet. Skogholtet i bakgrunnen heter Lille Gullkronen, her er det et stort gravfelt som ble undersøkt samtidig, og som ga rike vikingtidsfunn.

And, yes, I know this place as well. The point coming in from left is called Hallangstangen, and the bay is Hallangspollen. A poll in Norwegian is the word for a long, narrow bay which is too small for being a fjord! Perhe

I took a look at some more of your pictures... This one I know! It is not a church, it is a lighthouse. The proper name is Dyna fyr. Way back in the 70's it was base for Oslo Scuba-diving school. I learned to dive here in the winter of -75. Cold, indeed! Perhe.
