TRONDHEIM NORWAY

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.

You need time and money so it doesn't happen as often as I would like it to.   When I do travel I always bring along my camera to capture the moments!  It seems every time I go some place I see the terrain and elements of light in a whole new perspective. 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.
