My visit to the “Church of Bård”

    According to a legend, an old man, named Bård, lived in Haramsneset, at the westcoast of Norway. He had his own «stonechurch», made of the power of waves and the tide. At low tide he went into his church and played his violin. At festive seasons like the easter holidays he entered a corridor at the left hand side which was even more beautiful as the rest of the «church». Now it was my turn to enter the “Church of Bård”.

    It was really amazing and a kind of meditation! The ground was filled with round stones. The walls all formed in nice organic shapes, reflecting some light coming through the top and from the «windows» on the seaside. At very low tide it is possible to have a look into the leftside corridor and I can imagine why Bård loved this place so much.

    More read about the legend of Bård.

    To photograph in this dark «stonechurch» with sunlight coming through the «windows» in front is a great experience, yet quite challenging. Here are some of my pictures from this location. I definitely need to come back for more photographing and meditation.
