Bergen: Around Town

I am leaning against the tool shed of The Cathedral cemetery (Domkirkegården) in Bergen. I saw dates from the 1700s, though my pamphlet told me the cemetery dates to the 12th century.


The Cathedral (Domkirkegården), in Bergen, has moss-covered walls and wooden doors all around.

An amazing web of branches at The Cathedral cemetery (Domkirkegården).

Another twisted tree, this one at The Assistant cemetery (Assistentkirkegården). It's behind the train station downtown.


Saint Jacob's cemetery (St. Jacob kirkegård) abuts apartment buildings (behind where I am standing).

A headless tombstone at The Cathedral cemetery (Domkirkegården).


This is a headstone at The Cross Church cemetery (Korskirkegården).

I love the contrast between the bright graffiti and the stones of the cemetery at The Cathedral cemetery (Domkirkegården).


The lake at the Byparken near downtown. Seagulls and mallards would pounce on anyone looking like they had food. It was so windy that the lake, normally flat, would get white caps and light chop. The white building straight ahead is the museum of art.

The playwright Ibsen looks like a blowhard in this statue in front of the theater.

Graffiti on the street, near the theater.


Composer Evard Grieg was born in Norway. They remember him here with this statue.


A store called Amanda.
