Looks great! This is a fairly wealthy region - lots of shipbuilding and maritime families up there. Alesund looks alot better than I thought it would, especially given its relative remoteness. IIRC, much of the town burned down in a fire, and was subsequently rebuilt in Jugendstil (German-influenced Art Noveau) architecture.

Love this place, does look very well off. All of the buildings look fresh with hardly any faded paint. Must have been pretty dark though being that far north in January.

Wow. Beautiful My company bid on some work that would have put me in nearby Trondheim for much of 2011, but it didn't come to pass. Disappointed as I was at the time, this doubles it. Triples it.
