Street light.....

An old street in my hometown - the oldest city in Norway.

The tower you can see is build as a tribute to the 

1000 year jubilee in 1881.

The city is an old viking city and we have several full size examples 

of viking ships and smaller boat replicas in our town and now, 

at the moment they are building a copy of the Gokstad ship 

witch was a grave for a local king and buried near my hometown.

On the top where you can se the tower, there was a fortress, build in the 

13. century and there are still some remainings from the old fortress.

The street you see here is named after the king who started to

to build the fortress, "Haakon Haakonsen the old" and he had a son

with the same name - "Haakon Haakonsen the younger".
