Because the world is round
It turns me on
Because the world is round
Because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Beause the wind is high
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry
Because the sky is blue. ( Lennon, McCartney )

Sverd i fjell (English: Swords in Rock) is a commemorative monument located in the county of Hafrsfjord, in Madla which is in the city of Stavanger (in Norway).
The monument was created by sculptor Fritz Røed from Bryne and was unveiled by king Olav V of Norway in 1983. The three swords stand 10 metres tall and are planted into the rock of a small hill next to the fjord. They commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord that took place there in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.
The largest sword represents the victorious Harald, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated petty kings. The monument also represents peace, since the swords are planted into solid rock, whence they may never be removed.
Stavanger,
Norway
