Beautiful view, well captured! Greetings from Amsterdam.

Lovely :))

We sat here last Sunday out of the fierce wind Olav, when we walked from Viste towards Tungenes . I love these little Norwegian lighthouses :))

Hilsen, Amelia

meget bra! I really like the idea of having an old picture on here to show how things were!

Sorry it was an mistake from me. your position is rigth.

This is a great shot of the chuch at Onarheim. Well done!

I remember this place! Back in 1965 my father was contracted to run a drilling rig in the North Sea and our family lived in a house in Stavanger for two years. When we first arrived we stayed at the nearby Viste Hotel until finding a house. An old soldier enjoyed wagging his hands at us to show us little boys his missing fingers, lost in battle. He took us on a little hike to this gun emplacement. If it is the one I remember, it also has an underground bunker with the entrance just behind it - to the bottom left of the picture. I imagine that the authorities have filled it in or destroyed it by now - for safety reasons. I remember many such places and usually covered with bullet holes. We would even play in an old machine gun nest (checkpoint?) on the roadside between our house and the fjord. I would very much like to return to Stavanger one day and spend time looking around! :)

Flotte tegninger Olav, og denne falt jeg for. Minner om barndommen da jeg stod på kaia og ventet på når bestefar kom fra havet, flotte strek, takk skal du ha for deling med andre. Her i Båtsfjord var dette nærmest et daglig syn før i tiden, mor ventet på kaia med de små når far kom fra fiskefeltet.

Her har eg vore mange gonger, både i solskin og ved solnedgang. Fyret er eit vanleg mål for turgåarane på Kongeveien langs Jærstranda.
