A small lake called Åmotdammen.
Barcode, Oslo, Norway. The city's new (and only) skyline. Looks pretty cool in the sunset.
Stave church in Heddal, Norway. Norway is the only country in northern Europe where wooden churches are intact. The curch is also on the UNESCO list. I took a picture if the 'stafkirken' (stave church) and I think it's so beautiful!!
