on a clear day..

Fredriksten festning - Halden - Østfold - Norway

 

This is taken on my daily walk from a viewpoint I'm passing..

 

On the hilltop you see Fredriksten Fortress

The Clock Tower (the white tower) - is a building from 1833

Maybe you will catch a glimpse of the White Lady..

 

The White Lady or in Norwegian known as “Den Hvite Dame”

is said to reside at Fredriksten Fortress in Halden, Norway.

She was once the fortress commander’s mistress.

After her lover was killed by a cannonball fired by Swedish forces attacking the fortress, his remains were never recovered.

She killed herself by jumping off the fortress wall.

She is said to appear near "the white tower" at midnight. Retellings include waving at people or staring out across the city. Others have claimed she turns the fortress spot lights off just before appearing

 

On a clear day we can see forever and ever

We know where we came from and why we are

here on earth and where we ultimately are going

The threads woven into the fabric of our lives are

beginning to create a beautiful tapestry
