That's such a striking image!!! I love the distinctiveness of the church and how the color of it pairs so prettily with the lush green background. Thank you for creating this thread and sharing that picture

I like this picture because of the vibrant, happy colors! It's one my dad took of Notting Hill in London.

Very interesting picture, and design (and good photo). I think that some architecture in Europe is amazing, here are some I just found

Not so scenic, but interesting anyway. 35,000 walrus' on a beach

We talked about that picture in biology yesterday! It's surreal!!!!!!

I'll share more scenic pics if I can pop back on here from my laptop when I get home in a little bit, or over the weekend.

Is it from a lack of ice? (I think that's what I read)

I had a picture here but it was to large. Sorry.

Yes, the lack of ice is the apparent reason for it. I hope they find a new home soon.

On a side note, I was wanting to add some more scenic pictures but Photobucket is down for maintenance. Bummerty bummerty boo. I'll share them when it's up and running again!!! I hope more people will share pics here. It's fine that they're showing up huge - everyone understands it's a glitch in the system and isn't your fault - so don't let that discourage you.

Been there . Unfortunately not very beautiful interior - some pictures and the church's brief history in English can bef found here: Fylkesarkivet

What about the stave church at Røldal (http://www.oddakirken.no/rold/rol_ki.jpg) Not much impressive from outside, but take a look at the paintings inside (http://www.agderkultur.no/Roaldal/15-3197yz.jpg. http://www.hardangerfjord.com/imageresizer/?image=/dmsimgs/34CFCE18AF77BBBD2FFFF3094F631D273B45519D.jpg&action=ProductDetailFullWidth. Or what about the largest of the Norwegian stave churches - Heddal: Exterior: https://media.snl.no/system/images/16352/standard_DSC_3167.JPG Interior: https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/04/64/49/2e/heddal-stave-church.jpg

What about http://www.angryboar.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Preikestolen_Pulpit_rock_1.jpg? 2000 feet straight down - and no fence (you are in Norwegian nature, take care of yourself!) Concluded by CNN to be the most ultimate nature expirience in the world and by Lonely Planet as "most breathtaking viewing platforms". How to get here? Easy: Stay at http://galleri.strandhistorie.no/albums/userpics/10001/Preikestolhytta~0.JPG (interior https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/turistforeningen/images/6V/rb/JN-940.jpeg, two and four-bedded rooms), 3 hous of hiking each way, be prepared for periods of rought hiking (http://leneogjohnni.weblogg.no/images/111149-1-1248540827959.jpg), but as Norwegian children 5-6 years old are able to do it, most others will be as well. Bus/ferry Stavanger-Preikestolhytta every morning i summer. And: Book your stay 1-2 years ahead!

Beautiful - I was greated by snow in the air early yesterday morning...

Beautiful - I was greated by snow in the air early yesterday morning...

I go to college in the SF Bay area and am home in LA for a couple of days since it's spring break, and in both places waking up to snow would be a thrill! Where you live it might not bring as much excitement since I doubt it's a novelty, ha. Hopefully it was still beautiful for you!

This is my Golden, Cash, having a blast when we were in Tahoe. He treated snow like a new friend to play with, haha:

Waking up to snow in the air at this time of year is unfortunately not beautiful, more like "God, why did you sent us this" and a reminder of a late Spring. However snow CAN be beautiful - very beautiful. Expect a picture by PM - don't want to place extactly that picture in public as the picture make it quite easy for a Norwegian placing my home town.

Dogs very often like rolling around in the snow, also for practial purpose: Clean their fur.

There's no place like home!
