View from Stord mountain towards Langenuen and Bømlafjorden
The first picture shows the view from Stord the mountain towards Langenuen and Bømlafjorden.
On the fjord, we see the ferry that goes to Kvinnherad a municipality somewhat further into the fjord.
The next picture shows a small little farm up on the mountain with a view towards Rommetveit down by the sea. It was formerly an agricultural area, but now there are schools and University College in this area.
The third picture shows a beautiful stone bridge. Like bridges are not built much longer, but I think these bridges are solid and testify to a proper engineering technique from the past.
The last picture shows how to make use of the forest. The wood is piled up. This should then be used in the fireplace or wood stoves.
What wonderful landscapes of Norway.
I liked the blue bridge. Did they paint the stone?
Very unusual color for a bridge.
Thank you for interesting photos, dear @Suggjo
The stones on the bridge are not painted @Singa
They have their original colour, which is grey-blue. I have seen this bridge in other light conditions.
Then the stones looked more grey.
The pictures were taken in the evening when the light was diminishing.
Very interesting place.
Thank you @Siggjo for the continuation of this journey! Wonderful photos and story to them. Interestingly, what is grown in Norway in home gardens from vegetable and berry crops? Are houses heated with wood or natural gas?
In Norway, the most crucial heating source is electricity @Barski
Norway has a lot of hydropower, and this energy is relatively inexpensive.
In the countryside, it is still common to fire a little by during cold seasons.
People who have their own forests, I believe will spend a lot more with firewood to reduce the cost of heating homes with electric heat.
Agriculture, today in our district, is, in addition to what you mention, livestock where the sheep dominate. They are good at grazing in areas that cannot be used for other farming purposes.
Some also have cows, some with milk production. It has shown a significant decline in recent years, but some keep cows for meat production.
In the second photo, it seemed to me that I see a vegetable garden, beds on it. The growing season for agricultural crops is quite long, as I understand it, in Norway there are not enough light days for ripening vegetables, as I understand it. But, now I have looked narrowly and I see that it is firewood put together in piles, which I took to look like plowed land. Thank you for the clarification!
