[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Bryggen, also known as Tyskebryggen (Norwegian for German Wharf) is an ensemble of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into the city of Bergen, Norway, and as such was the heart of medieval Bergen.
As it is the only remaining ensemble of wooden buildings illustrating the medieval Hanseatic architecture, Bryggen is on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites.
The city of Bergen was founded in 1070 and was the capital of Norway until 1299 when it was replaced by Oslo but remained Norway's largest city until the 1830s. In 1360 one of the four Kontoren (offices) of the Hanseatic League was established there (the other three were in London, Brugge, and Novgorod), and the town developed into an important trading centre. 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.

Hi Kris
The framing of this image is excellent - I like the way the scene is packed with these close together houses, and the angle really emphasises their tilt. Great vivid colours and excellent sharpness. A really attractive scene from Bergen.
Regards, Susanna

Funny houses:-)
Good angle!

Wahou, really great colour with a beautiful composition your picture is alive :)
Thanks for sharing it.
