ELIASSEN TRAVEL

Colorful waterfront in Trondheim Norway Door of the Church Trondheim Norway is a very beautiful city with old historic buildings as well as one of the most beautiful Churches, the Nidaros Cathedral. For additional travel information check out the following link for the city tourism guide to Trondheim ! Outside sculptures on the Church   We enjoyed our stay with family who showered us with Norwegian hospitality and gave directions on how we could navigate the city on our own to explore the unique and awesome culture of the city. Canon on display We found new and old within the city center.  Our highlights were visiting the Church and viewing the many sculptures that were spread out within the city, especially around the Nidaros Cathedral.  The Archbishop's Residence was amazing and colorful.  So much history to cram into a short stay but we did the best we could.  Window in the courtyard area The pictures here were captured inside the courtyard

The shots are not all lined up and in order. They have gained character and substance as I have grown older and wiser. Nothing has to be perfect it only has to be.
