    To think how far we have come in the past 100 years and how so many things have gone by the wayside in that time too. Cool photo and subject.

    This is not a view from the Walkendorff's tower.
    It is a view from the ROSENKRANTZ tower.

    Late 1800 it was marked as: ”The Walkendorff tower, Bergen”

    Very nice angle and composition, looks like a wonderland. (My family is from Bergen, so I admit I'm a little biased).

    The view of Bergen is fantastic but it has a special resonance as one can imagine the great Henrik Ibsen walking those streets and gaining inspiration from the environment and society.

    I used this for a graphic design experiment, creating a fake album cover for a fictional band, on display in my Imaginary Record Shop.
