Color photo of a small, old, dark wooden church in Norway with decorative dragon and cross finials on the multi-tiered roof. There are crooked tombstones of the surrounding cemetery in the foreground and a tree covered hill in the background under cloudy skies.
Borgund Stave Church, #Norway
#TravelThursday #photography #travelphotography #StaveChurch
Picture a quiet autumn day. Before you stands an old, dark wooden church with a tall, pointed steeple, its intricate timber framing suggesting great age. A low, rough stone wall encircles its grounds, with soft grass underfoot, dotted with dry, crinkled yellow and orange leaves. The air is cool and still, carrying the faint, earthy scent of decay and damp moss. Ahead, a gentle slope rises into a dense forest, alive with color—thousands of leaves in brilliant gold, amber, and rust, their textures ranging from crisp to leathery. Nestled among the trees, small rustic buildings and a winding path hint at a secluded village. Behind them, a massive mountain looms, its upper ridges bare and shadowed. The sky is overcast, cloaking everything in soft, diffused light, muting sounds and wrapping the scene in calm. It’s a moment of peaceful stillness, where history and nature merge in the hush of fall.
Bucket list worthy wedding location in Norway.

How To Play Fjordar - part 6. This time we take a look at the third and last of the forest-actions: Build Church. This action is very important if you want to score lots of victory points when burning other player's churches in later turns. #medievaltimes #stavechurch #tabletopgaming #fjordar

One of my multiple wish lists is to visit all Norwegian stave churches. 3 down, 25 more to go.
Gol (Oslo), Lom (Lom), Fantoft (Bergen).

Ever wondered what the inside of a Norwegian stave church looks like? Here is an example. Perhaps it is not a very representative example, as churches usually aren't this heavily inscribed.

One of the paths to victory in Fjordar is to build and burn churches. You gain victory points for building them, and then you gain victory points for each church you have built when burning other player's churches. #fjordar #fjordarboardgame #stavechurch #medievalhistory #boardgames #boardgamegeek

Hi Bluesky :D I'll hopefully start posting art soon, first I need to catch back up with work currently after travelling to Norway and getting sick afterwards. So as a start for now I'll share some impressions from my #Norway trip 🏔️❄️

That church from the sketchbook here‘s the #Gol #StaveChurch originally from the Hallingdal region, by the way.
Originally dating to 1157-1216, it was relocated to the museum and reconstructed in the 1880s when the city built a new #church.
