Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

NATO mine countermeasures force.
The NATO mine countermeasures force that were here, consisted of seven vessels.
This is the submarine.
I was surprised to learn that there are still more than a thousand mines, left over from WW11, lying along the Norwegian coast.
I'm glad someone knows about it - after all these years the average person likely tends to forget. It must have been interesting to get aboard some of these ships.
Well, that's a scary fact for you to learn!
ReplyDeleteNice that you could visit the ships.
Yep, we've got unexploded ordnance from WWII that occasionally still turns up on our coast.
ReplyDeleteWe never got a submarine in port!
