Sadly the weather today as you can see was cloudy and overcast.

Bryggen is a historic harbour district in Bergen, one of North Europe’s oldest port cities on the west coast of Norway which was established as a centre for trade by the 12th century.
In 1350 the Hanseatic League established a “Hanseatic Office” in Bergen. They gradually acquired ownership of Bryggen and controlled the trade in stockfish from Northern Norway through privileges granted by the Crown. The Hanseatic League established a total of four overseas Hanseatic Offices, Bryggen being the only one preserved today.

"Twelfth-century quadripartite vaults" - that's something we don't hear every day. And this is something we don't see every day, though I wouldn't mind. I'd like to live in a room with this many arches.
