| Title: One view of the community of Tau in the Strand municipality, this shot taken from the ferry as we start to leave Tau. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: As we get underway from Tau we see interesting clouds over this part of Strand kommune - with Tau on the left and the distant view towards Jørpeland on the right. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: Leaving Tau in our wake, Peg enjoys the views from the upper open deck on this ferry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Title: Another interesting view of sky, mountains and wide open fjords as our ferry heads towards Stavanger. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: Enjoying the warmth of his Tysvær sweater on this crisp Sunday morning, Keith goes forward on the ferry to check out the views as we near Stavanger. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: Getting closer to Stavanger, we will soon pass under the bridge that connect the city to some of the islands to the north, the largest of which is Hundvåg. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Title: Near where our ferry arrives in Stavanger we get this busy wharf scene. A large tourist cruise ship is in port. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: A very prominent part of the Stavanger skyline is the Valberg Tower. It was built in the early 1850's and served as an observation tower for the city's guards. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: Late on a Sunday afternoon we find the streets in Stavanger quite empty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Title: At the large intersection near the Stavanger Cathedral this view looks down toward the "vågen" (harbor) where the July 4th Emigration Festival took place.
The Valberg Tower is also prominent here. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: From one of the side windows in our Radisson SAS Atlantic hotel, we get a view of many modern apartment/condo buildings and a modern church. |
|
|
|
|
| Title: Distorted somewhat by the window reflection, we here look down from our hotel toward the Stavanger railway station (building with red & white square emblem). The bus station is the
gray
building beyond and to the left. |
