Nearing Nidaros





From a distance,
we heard
the bell tower
chime ten times.


Due to our
leisurely breakfast
at the train station,

we missed the day's
only free English-guided
tour of Nidaros Cathedral.





Therefore
we took
our time


wandering
the grounds,


enjoying
the gardens,




and


strolling
the paths


through
the
cemetary





on up to the
ornate walls–


erected
800
to
1000
years
ago.






We

paused



to



capture

images







similiar
to
photos
taken
by
family
51 years
ago.
