@xankarn@mastodon.online heavy metal church:

@xankarn been there, crazy beautiful

[deepmud@mas.to]

@xankarn surely does appear constructed to cope with really heavy snowfall!

Gorgeous old church!

@xankarn Great photos. So evocative. There's something about the humble small white curving fence in this one, faced off against the majestic harsh landscape, that makes it seem like a brave magical little church.

@CiaraNi

They say it’s the oldest wooden church in Europe. There are just a few dozen full time residents. A brave and resilient community for sure.

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@xankarn Such a history to it too, so - if those wooden walls could talk.

@gub

These are great photos. B/W really captures the spooky aspect.

I just noticed the birds circling. Perfect.

@mrundkvist I was baptised in Borgund Stave Church. Dark ceremony (literally, as there is no artificial light in there). @xankarn

@xankarn @mrundkvist I’m not particularily religious anymore, but still a fun memory (I baptised at 14). Bergen is good, I recommend.
