Tag Archives: Ålesund

With the exception of the photo above, today’s collection of Ålesund images were snapped during our leisurely trek back to the Jewel of the Seas. Some of the sights I’ve already described to you, but today’s images are included for different perspectives or were taken under afternoon conditions. Many of the images are water related. For instance, here’s the light marking the northern entrance to the Ålesundet:

This image presents the previously discussed Løvenvold Theater, and I’ve included this different perspective to give you an idea of the hilly nature of this area:

I’ll finish up with this photo tour of Ålesund on this week’s Fun Photo Friday. Next week it’s on another Norwegian destination. But for now I’m going to lump together the remainder of today’s photos in a photo gallery/slide show:

Rather than give a lengthy description of our route on foot today, I will instead let these photos pretty much speak for themselves. The city of Ålesund stretches over seven islands, but on this visit Ursula and I toured by foot on the two main islands — Aspøy to the west of the Ålesund Canal, and Nørvøya to the east. As you saw in last week’s articles, we walked between the two by traversing the Hellebroa Bridge. So, today, my descriptions will be brief as we take in the sights on both islands. Most of today’s sights will be identified in the photo captions.
