Bergen Wharf by sorstrommen

Nighttime photo of Bergen, Norway.
In the photo you can see Bryggen (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

Bryggen (Norwegian for the Wharf), also known as Tyskebryggen (the German Wharf), is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord coming into Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites.

The city of Bergen was founded around 1070 within the original boundaries of Tyskebryggen. Around 1360 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and Tyskebryggen became the centre of the Hanseatic commercial activities in Norway. Today, Bryggen houses museums, shops, restaurants and pubs.

Bryggen was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, by Criterion : Bryggen bears the traces of social organization and illustrates the use of space in a quarter of Hanseatic merchants that dates back to the 14th century. It is a type of northern “fondaco”, unequalled in the world, where the structures have remained within the cityscape and perpetuate the memory of one of the oldest large trading ports of Northern Europe.
Notable houses at Bryggen include Bellgården (a 300-year-old building), Svensgården, Enhjørningsgården, Bredsgården, Bugården, Engelgården. The oldest and tallest building in the area is St Mary’s Church. Streets include Jacobsfjorden. Museums include Bryggens Museum and Hanseatic Museum and Schøtstuene.

Waterfront colors by sandervanderwerf

A tranquil sunset reflected in the famous Reitdiephaven in Groningen, the Netherlands. Only 5 minutes from my home, but I never seem to get around to taking an ‘awesome’ shot here. In the future I will try to take more photo’s on this (the most photographed in the Netherlands) location.
