Sami Bridge across the Tana River between Finnmark (Norway) and Utsjoki (Finland)

The Salmon, that strong and precious fish swimming along the bottom. It will follow the Tana River through the earth if that is the course to follow. Once again, it swims the long way to reach the source, turns black and stops eating. Once again, it turns back to where it came from, to the great ocean where salmon abound. Once again, it glistens in the water when it returns to its own seas. There it will find herring to feed on, grow fat again, and again look like its old self.

Bakke Bridge over the Nidelva River in Trondheim (Norway)

Old boats and history
Norwegian mystery,
Water world, Trondheim water world.
At the mouth of the river Nidelva,
A city of culture I found,
Nidaros cathedral architecture
On religious ground I strolled around.

Blomster Bridge over the Nidelva River in Trondheim (Norway)

According to Norse Legend, the sacred Rainbow Bridge called Bifrost connects Midgard (the realm of humankind) with Asgard (the realm of the Gods). Also known as Asabru ("Bridge of Gods"), Bifrost was magically constructed from fire, water and air...whose quivering and changing hues it has retained. Not only do the Gods use this Bridge to travel to and from the Earth, it also leads to the Urdar Well, situated at the foot of the great ash Yggdrasil, where they assemble daily in council.

Norwegian legend

Gamle Bybro Bridge over the Nidelva River in Trondheim (Norway)

Growing from mountains far off in the blue

trusted a place to me dear.

Hither my thoughts and my dreams will ensue

after the taking of care.

Jealousy, quiet and graceful thou art,

here as I walk by dreaming,

thinking of thee once so urgent to heart,

memories now just gleaming.

The old town bridge by the portal pulsar –

coupled and shining in stardom we are.

Jealousy, quiet and graceful thou art,

here as I walk by dreaming.

Vals by Oskar Hoddø

Brikdalsfossen Bridge crossing the Brykdal River in the Briksdalsbreen National Park (Norway)

What is the name you called me?
And why did you go so soon?
The crows lift their caws on the wind,
And the wind changed and was lonely.
The warblers cry thier sleepy-songs
Across the valley gloaming,
Across the cattle-horns of early stars.
Feathers and people in the crotch of a treetop
Throw an evening waterfall of sleepy-songs.
What is the name you called me?--
And why did you go so soon?

Bridge over the Aker Brygge port in Oslo (Norway)

We need a camera and some cash to spend.
And our picturesque blame; we'll put it in IKEA-frames.
Up on the wall it looks profound,and reminds us Oslo is a small, small town.
So it's night and we dive into a basement that's alive with stupidity that melts into pairs.
But your good intent was clear when you split and left me hereto regret I left my high horse upstairs.
And with the way I say goodbye I could have ruined everything.
But I'll be seeing you around because Oslo is a small, small town.

Song by The Little Hands of Asphalt

Elgeseter Bridge over the Nidelva River in Trondheim (Norway)

In the convent of Drontheim,
Alone in her chamber
Knelt Astrid the Abbess,
At midnight, adoring,
Beseeching, entreating
The Virgin and Mother.

Beginning of the poem The nun of Nidaros

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Blomster Bridge crossing the Nidelva River in Trondheim (Norway)

At Trondheim
Cruising along the canal,
From the windows
Of houses are people
Seen smiling and waving hands.

Poem to Trondheim

Japanese emperor Akihito

Storseisundet Bridge in Averoy (Norway)

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

Song Road to Nowhere
