The Harbor of Bodø, Norway: August 2017

Bodø is considered the port city that is the start of the Northern half of Norway. While many of the buildings are pretty new due to Nazi bombings, the harbor is filled with all kinds of boats, a fort across the bay, and a beautiful view of the downtown coastline. Many hotels, businesses and a modern library sit on the edges, with stunning views from the windows and towards the buildings themselves.

After I saw this, I had Jacques Brel in my head all day.



You can see some of the Nyholmen skanse fort in the background .












This jelly fish (and below) was more than a foot acros





A better view of Nyholmen skanse




This rusty anchor was under the green lighthouse, on the far side.




The Stormen Library is a beautiful example of modern architecture.
The pictures below were taken from the second floor window.
