These pages have been especially created for use on a PDA and to be viewed "on the go", - whether you are in a car or on a bike? This road is well suited for bicycles as it is "as level as a road may be", - i.e. in Norway! These pages were updated with new photos in 2005 and 2006.
The photos you find here are not protected by copyright, but if they are used for commercial purposes, - I ask you to give an appropriate gift to

when they grow up.
