Brrr, my fingers are ice cold. Winter is coming… no, actually it’s here, even though it’s only the beginning!
She knows it:
I bet it’s already been snowing in Ålesund. But this is pretty much what it looked like, on a Saturday, three weeks or so back.
Ålesund is quite famous for it’s architecture. The night of January 23th, almost 110 years ago (1904) the city burned down. (Wiki for more>) The town was then rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar – in Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), the architectural style of the time. What’s that? Check the photos below 😉
cake bulding 😀
might be the most narrow building in the world! Can you really not beat this, Amsterdam?

Think of nothing 
What beautiful buildings. The statue of the woman is very poignant.
What a beautiful city! And yes, I’m feeling the cold here in Germany too! It’s depressing me! =(
Lovely shots!
It is a wonderful city. And it wasn’t raining the day I walked around it. Mind you, they had a severe hurricane the night before. Still I have some awesome photos from Aksla lookout.
Looks inviting!
Now that has to be interesting; living in a town totaly or mostly featuring Art Nouveau architecture in the 21st century.
In my spot on the atlas, we still have a fair amount of Victorian and Edwardian architecture which are similar but still not real Art Nouveau, and what there is isn’t well taken care of.
