This tiny "door"/shutter in the big, sturdy wall of the Akershus fort in Oslo, Norway, drew my attention.

A war monument celebrating (from what I can gather) the liberation of Norwegian Kirkenes by the Russians in 1944. Kirkenes isn't exactly the kind of town that sees many tourists.

Sailing in Hornsund, Svalbard, the weather wasn't very nice: rain, sleet, wind. But all of a sudden, there was this brief break in the clouds.

This is Bergen, the Norwegian city famous for its old town, Bryggen (pictured) and for its enormous amount of rainfall: 2.250 mm/year, spread over more than 200 rainy days. In fact, it once rained for more than 80 days in a row in Bergen. Guess I got real lucky, huh?
