It was beautiful in the summer though not I suspect as pleasant in the dark times.

[RustyTube]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[johncrwarner]

@RustyTube

They were fascinating and I had never seen rock carvings before - so it was fascinating to see them.

[PrecambrianLullaby]

incredible! thanks for this... i think there are cave pictures somewhere near where i live, but i've never been to see them.

[johncrwarner]

@PrecambrianLullaby

This are impressive and are out in the open there in Northern Norway - the website says that the carvings are currently unavailable as they are under snow LOL - they have snow until May - I think. You should go and see the carvings and make a video about it.

[PrecambrianLullaby]

@johncrwarner I will certainly do so the moment I overcome my incredible laziness. =3

[johncrwarner]

@PrecambrianLullaby

Or you could just look for a video of the site and watch that instead LOL

[PrecambrianLullaby]

@johncrwarner well, if i had to put money on which option were the more likely....

[johncrwarner]

@PrecambrianLullaby

You would go for option 2 LOL

[PrecambrianLullaby]

@johncrwarner =D

Yes the carvings are really nice. But were you really surprised it was light at day time (Info bar)? You maybe mean night time?

[johncrwarner]

@skinnyjohnsen

I altered it to read "It was the end of July and still daylight for nearly 24 out of every 24 hours." as the word "day" was ambiguous in that I was using it for 24 hour period and it also means the light time of a 24 hour period. Thanks for the comment.

So where are the drawings of the dinosaurs..? ;)

[johncrwarner]

@spaceman300

Sadly there were NO pictures of Adam and Eve riding dinosaurs - though some of the pictures were definitely ambiguous - they could have been anything LOL

[rtottenc]

I never knew of these before (facepalm). Thanks you the awareness raising experience. :D

[johncrwarner]

@rtottenc

I was very surprised at hearing about them and visiting them - this was the same trip as Røros, Trondheim and Hell so this was a big highlight of the tour - we liked it so much we went back for afternoon tea there on the way home LOL

[BasicModelling]

Very nice nature.. :)

[johncrwarner]

@BasicModelling

The surroundings are stunning - I took some pictures of the scene from the café and I might put them in a future video.

[TheBoyFromNorfolk]

Fascinating. I'd loved to have met the carvers. Gone hunting with them. I hope we'd have got along.

Is it a Seal, rather than a Bear? That's what it looks like, it could be a bear I suppose, they fish as well.

[johncrwarner]

@TheBoyFromNorfolk

I was following the guide book which says its a bear and other bears on the rocks are similar to them in style.

I think you would have enjoyed it though - your addiction to metal and cotton might confuse them LOL
