The cruise ship looks a bit out of place … but rest assured it’s right at home in Flåm harbour, one endpoint of the cruises along Norway’s Sognefjord.

Beware of the cat!

Spotted this in Balestrand, Norway, this summer. Never did see a cat, to verify the seriousness of the warning …

Sognefjord by moonlight

I’m glad I decided to take a peek outside my window before bed: This was the view from my hotel room in Balestrand, Norway, a few weeks ago.
