The politicians payed 1 million kroner for some footprints from famous Nobel prize winners some years back through an organization named "Worldview Rights". With its headquarter based in Stavanger, it had a fine vision (when it started back in 1995 ), and probably had some important meetings. At the end, the organization had severe financial problems!
Anyway, many years later, these footprints have finally been put out around the harbor in June 2012.
So if you walk around here, you might see some of these 16 kilo heavy blocks on the ground.
I guess I would have been more amazed if the famous people had actually been to Stavanger! Some tourists like them, so I grabbed my camera and took a photo too, so that you can see the result of the one million kroner.

1 million kroner for a few foodprints? Not bad...
I don't remember Ramos-Horta. 16 kilo that is heavy.
oh wow. interesting...i like how it looks. rough. (kind of reminds me of the 'hollywood walk of fame'...ha! hardly! this is so much more meaningful...than a bunch of stars. :)
(thanks for your kind words, at my blog...you just caught me...home between appointments. i'll be back to wander some more...)
I'm not sure how much one million kroner is compared to Australian dollars Gunn, but it sounds a lot, thank goodness at least they have now put the footsteps out for people to see.
A Portuguese name in Stanvenger! :-) Although he actually is from the ex-colony of East Timor.
