Sverd i fjell
Hafrsfjord we find the national monument "Swords in Rock". It was here Harald Hårfagre fought a battle that united Norway into one kingdom in 872 AD. The monument represents peace, unity and freedom. The Viking swords' hilts are modelled on swords found in various parts of the country.

Old Stavanger
Old Stavanger comprises 173 wooden buildings from the turn of the 18th century. Most of them are small, white cottages. Stavanger has received several awards for its efforts to preserve Old Stavanger.

On our way to Gloppedalsura.

Gloppedalsura consists of avalanche boulders that are piled on top of an end moraine. 

10,000 years ago the ice sheet that covered the area, melted away. For a period of time the massive end moraine dammed the Hunnedal river's former course, towards Veen and Vikeså, and formed a lake in Byrkjedalsgryta. The terraces in Byrkjedal at 240 metres altitude are evidence of this moraine-dammed lake. The annual cycle of frost and expanding ice broke free a vast number of boulders and rocks and sent them tumbling down the southern mountainside. This debris settled as a 100-metre thick scree on top of the moraine.

And here we are visiting Sigbjørn, we was invited over for a Chrismas dinner, and Nancy was the lucky one who got the almont in the rice cream, and won the marsipan pig.

This beautiful painting did Nancy give to Sigbjørn - if is done by Dawn Second, and is of "Hero" (Ch Le Sphinx Killing the Heroes). It's not often that Sigbjørn is speachless, but when he got this beautiful painting - he was.
