I became inspired by khun Takovers walk around in Berlin to make a little picture trip through my home town
Bergen is the kingdom's second largest city, with over 225 000 inhabitants and situated on the west coast of Norway. The year of the foundation is estimated to be 1070.
I was born and raised in the centre of Bergen.
Most of the images here are a few years old but the place have not changed dramatically. I must also admit that I have not taken all these images, some I snatched from the Net.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/11/775.jpg
I have indicated 3 of the seven mountains that surround the city namely, mount Fløyen, mount Ulriken and mount Løvstakken . Then you know where the pics are taken from.

These next shots are taken from Mount Ulriken and reveal the center of Bergen.

Thanks for your comments.
My wife really likes it in Norway. She also likes the snow but could do without the cold. Today we have - 6 degree Celsius here. (21,2F)
By the way, here's a good one for you:

There are quite a few thaigirls in Bergen now and they are very happy to work here since they can make a good earning within the cleaning business. The going rate are approximately 650 thb an hour, with today's week NOK. Two months ago the work was worth 780 thb. So we really hope the NOK will gain power again.
Then for the price of beer in Norway.
