Fantastic pics, I have always loved Scandinavian architecture, the lay of the land and the way your towns and cities embrace the water reminds me much of my hometown of Pittsburgh, though especially in Norway the water is much deeper, bluer and the hills and cliffs a lot higher and more grand.  I'd love to visit there someday!
