Bryggen in Gold Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Bryggen (Norwegian for the Wharf), also known as Tyskebryggen (the German Wharf) is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites. The name has the same origin as the Flemish city of Brugge.
The city of Bergen was founded in 1070. In 1360 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and as the town developed into an important trading centre, the wharfs were improved. The administrative buildings of Bryggen housed clerks from many areas, especially Germany. The warehouses were filled with goods, particularly fish from northern Norway, and cereal from Europe."

On my first afternoon walk this was the view that welcomed me. How could I not fall in love with the city? Hope you like it

Hello Erica,

The great physicist Werner Heiseberg once wrote, "Never underestimate how much pleasure it gives a man to see/hear what he already knows." I've walked along the same path several times, but never have I seen it with this golden glow created by the direct sunlight. Well composed, exquisitely exposed.

Warm regards from Virginia, USA.

Hello Erika,
You captured the moment beautifully, it is amazing how an afternoon light can transform wood into a precious metal! I also like the diagonal composition of your shot and the clouds filling the sky. TFS and a belated welcome to TE! Cheers, Dasha

Hi Erika again,
(second time in few minutes)
I'm impressed!
A vivid picture of the pedestrian traffic, a sun in the west of Decision On to make wooden buildings look like shiny metal.
Excellent work once again.
Bravo!
Best Regards
Dimitris

Szia Erika!

Ez a kép csodaszép! A házfalakon és az ablakokon megcsillanó napfény és a meleg esti fények varázslatos hangulatot teremtenek ebben az amúgy is gyönyörű városban.

Üdv
Csabee
