Norwegen / Nordland - Helgelandskysten
Ågskardet
Helgeland is the most southerly district in Northern Norway. Generally speaking, Helgeland refers to the part of Nordland county that is located south of the Arctic Circle. It is bordered in the north by the Saltfjellet mountains and Svartisen glacier, which form a natural border with the Salten district. In the south, Helgeland borders Trøndelag county.
The district covers an area of about 18,832 square kilometres (7,271 sq mi), with nearly 79,000 inhabitants. There are four towns in the district: from south to north these are Brønnøysund, Mosjøen, Sandnessjøen, and Mo i Rana.
Name
The Old Norse form of the name was Hálogaland (see Hålogaland).
Geography
Helgeland is commonly divided into three or four sections:
Southern Helgeland (actually southwest), which consists of the municipalities Bindal, Sømna, Brønnøy, Vega and Vevelstad.
Central Helgeland, which is sometimes further divided into the regions:
Inner Helgeland, which consists of the municipalities Grane, Hattfjelldal and Vefsn.
Outer Helgeland, which consists of the municipalities Leirfjord, Alstahaug, Herøy and Dønna.
Northern Helgeland, which consists of the municipalities Hemnes, Rana, Nesna, Lurøy, Træna and Rødøy.
Helgeland is characterized by pointed mountains and Strandflaten, a shallow lowland area, sometimes just above the sea surface, and sometimes just below the surface. People living on the coast have settled on this lowland (while inland towns, such as Mo and Mosjøen, are situated in valleys). A consequence of the Strandflaten is thousands of islands, and shallow waters going far into the sea. This has provided some shelter from stormy weather, which might occur in winter. Some islands are fairly large, often with unique mountains, such as Torghatten, De syv søstre (The Seven Sisters), Hestmannen, Rødøyløva (in Rødøy), Dønnamannen (picture), and Træna. There are several sea bird colonies, such as Lovund with thousands of puffins. The Solvær Islands (Solværøyene) in Lurøy consists of about 300 small and flat islands and has the highest densities of Eurasian eagle-owls in Europe.
The highest mountains, are located inland, where Oksskolten is the highest mountain in Northern Norway. There are many valleys inland, such as the Dunderland Valley, Vefsndalen, and Hattfjelldal. Røssvatnet is the second largest lake in Norway. There are three large national parks in Helgeland: Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park (partly), Børgefjell National Park (partly), and Lomsdal–Visten National Park (created in May 2009).
Cultural references
Helgeland is the scene for Henrik Ibsen's 1857 historical play "The Vikings at Helgeland" (Hærmændene paa Helgeland), whose plot takes place at this region during the time of Erik Blood-axe (c. 930–934).
Helgeland Kammerkor, a mixed choir with members from all parts of Helgeland, have recorded an album of folk music from Helgeland (Folketoner fra Helgeland, 2005). The album contains 27 folk tunes from Helgeland, recorded in collaboration with folk musicians from the area. The album was recorded in Alstahaug Church, a 900-year-old stone church located near Sandnessjøen.

Helgeland (im Mittelalter Hålogaland) ist eine Landschaft im Norden Norwegens, die heute den südlichen Teil des Fylkes Nordland bis zum Saltfjellet umfasst. Die Region hat 78.400 Einwohner und eine Fläche von 17.936 km². Die Region hat ungefähr 15.000 Inseln.
Im Mittelalter bezeichnete Hålogaland das gesamte Territorium nördlich von Trøndelag und war vor der Christianisierung Norwegens ein selbständiges Königreich, das auch den größten Teil von Troms umfasste und sich zeitweilig bis in das von Samen dominierte Gebiet (Finnmark, Schwedisch-Lappland, Nord-Finnland und Nordwest-Russland) erstreckte. Hålogaland nimmt einen hervorragenden Platz in den Sagas ein. Die Göttinnen Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr und Irpa der Jómsvíkinga saga stammen wahrscheinlich aus Hálogaland und wurden wohl vor allem dort verehrt. Der vermutlich bekannteste Einwohner Hålogalands war der Seefahrer und Kaufmann Ottar, dessen Bericht über seine Heimat einen Platz in Alfreds des Großen Übersetzung der Weltgeschichte des Orosius fand.
Der Name stammt nicht von derselben Wurzel wie heilig, wie es schon Adam von Bremen behauptete, sondern von einer Volksbezeichnung háleygir. In Snorri Sturlusons Jüngerer Edda wird er von einem mythischen König Holgi abgeleitet. Holgi wiederum soll ein Nachfolger von Odins Sohn Sæming (Säming) gewesen sein.
Die jüngere Form des Namens findet sich ab 1380, die ältere besteht weiter in den Namen der Bistümer Sør-Hålogaland (Nordland) und Nord-Hålogaland (Troms und Finnmark) und im Namen des Obergerichtes (Hålogaland lagmannsrett), das für die drei nördlichen Provinzen Nordland, Troms und Finnmark sowie für Spitzbergen zuständig ist.
In Helgeland befand sich bei Bratland und der Insel Aldra ein Sender des Omega-Funknavigationssystems. In der Nähe von Bratland befindet sich auch der Marinesender JXN, der wie einst der Omegasender eine Drahtantenne verwendet, die über einen Fjord gespannt wurde.

I made a new LoH team today! I’ve been playing a bit of Terraria lately and I discovered that, in game, there are three forms of combat: magic, melee, and ranged weapons. Using those three criteria, I made three new heroes to join the ranks of the Saviors. L to R
Mage- A sorcerer with an assortment of magic rods, spell books, and talismans to attack enemies and defend himself.
Gladiator- (heavily inspired by Roman) A fearless warrior with lightweight yet incredibly dense armor and two double edged swords. The swords can sever objects with ease.
Firearm- A tech genius with twin machine guns and a jet pack that can fly for short distances. He named his guns “Obliterate” and “Decimate”.
What do y’all think? Stay Awesome

This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.
At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.
On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.
How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.
Best enjoyed 'large'.
A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.

Formed about 25 million years ago, the spectacular limestone formation of Wawel Hill is not the solid piece of rock it appears to be, but rather filled with eerie caves and crawl spaces. As legend would have it, the craggy chambers beneath Wawel were once home to Smok Wawelski, or the Wawel Dragon, a particularly nasty creature who liked nothing more than to gorge himself on sheep and local maidens. Story goes that as the village ran out of virgins, the King promised the hand of his only daughter to the hero who could vanquish the vile beast. Wave upon wave of brave knights fell beneath the dragon's fiery breath before a poor cobbler named Krak tricked Smok into eating a sheep stuffed full of sulphur, which instantly ignited inside his gullet. With an unquenchable thirst the dragon went and drank half the river before his distended belly exploded and the town was freed of his wrath. Krak married the princess, of course, became king, built his castle on the dragon's lair and the people built a city around it named 'Kraków' after their saviour king.
Smok's bones were hung triumphantly outside the entrance of the Cathedral, where they remain today. His cave became a famous tavern and brothel during medieval times. The stairway leads to the caves leads which goes through under the castle courtyard to outside the complex by the riverbank, right in front of Smok's sculpted bronze likeness unveiled in 1972 to a design by the local artist Bronisław Chromy. The sculpture occasional provides fire-breathing bliss.
El Fontán es hoy en día una plaza de forma rectangular que está situada en el casco antiguo de Oviedo. Su nombre proviene de la fuente manantial ó fontán que llenaba la primitiva laguna que se encontraba en esa zona. En los inicios de la ciudad de Oviedo se trataba de una laguna natural a las afueras de la ciudad, la cual era abastecida por manantiales natrurales que brotaban en la zona y rápidamente se convirtió en zona de recreo de los nobles ovetenses. Durante este tiempo los campesinos que vivína en las afueras de la ciudad, se acercaban hasta este lugar a vender sus productos (leche, verduras, quesos, gallinas, etc.), con este incesante movimiento no tardaron en aparecer los artesanos tales como herreros, cesteros, etc. y así poco a poco se fue formando un mercado que perdurará hasta nuestros días y convirtiéndose por aquel entonces en el primer núclo comercial a extramuros de Oviedo. Tras esta primera etapa este mercado que se formaba de manera espontánea acabó siendo regulado por el ayuntamiento, el cual controloba la calidad y la entrada de productos a cambio de impuestos. Debido a que la laguna empezaba a representar un problema sanitario por su insalubridad se decidió desecarla. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII se decide la construcción de una obra de carácter público que se convertiría en un corral de comedias; tras sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones, que intentaron adecuar su inflexible estructura de patio de comedias, fue relevado por el teatro Campoamor. El 11 de junio de 1792 el ayuntamiento acomete una de las reformas más importantes hasta aquel entonces, esta reforma, dirigida por el arquitecto municipal asturiano Francisco Pruneda y Cañal, el cual diseña la plaza como un lugar rectangular, abierto por cuatro entradas y con cuarenta casillas o departamentos para tiendas, de planta y piso, recorridas en su perímetro interior y externo por un pórtico de columnas. La obra concluyó sin que se siguiera el proyecto inicial lo que produjo la existencia de varias alturas en la plaza. Los almacenes de las tiendas se fueron convirtiendo en viviendas de inquilinos y varios edificios se modificaron durante el siglo XIX aunque con ello no llega a perder el espíritu con el que fue concebida inicialmente. Ya a finales del siglo XX, en 1981 la dirección General del Patrimonio Artístico realiza una restauración de la plaza, si bien esta restauración no frena el deterioro en el que se ve inmersa la plaza y que culmina en 1996 con la controvertida decisión del derribo y demolición total de la plaza, execepto la esquina en dónde se asienta la sidrería Casa Ramón que había sido restaurada por el propietario. Tras este derribo la plaza se vuelve a construir y el 7 de mayo de 1997 es inaugurada por el alcalde Sr. D. Gabino de Lorenzo Ferrera. Hoy en día los jueves, sábados y domingos sigue habiendo mercado en las calles exteriores al fontán y en la plaza Daoíz y Velarde colindante con el fontán. También existe una plaza de abastos cubierta que abre todos los días de la semana excepto el domingo y en la cual se venden pescado, carne, queso y todo tipo de productos típicos asturianos

I processi di naturale espressione dell'Arte del paesaggio o Land Art, sono chiaramente inconsapevoli. Le forze della Natura e i fenomeno conseguenti al loro interagire, determinano situazioni che sono caratterizzate da assoluta casualità. In questo senso l'Arte della Natura non differisce di molto da talune forme di arte antropica astratta. Con la sola eccezione relativa ai risultati, che in questo caso sono esteticamente affascinanti ..... ..
