This shot is fascinating. Is the water level always the same? A canal? Thanks for all your photos. It is wonderful to see a bit of Trondheim every day.... Judith
Oh that's right, not everybody speaks Norwegian... :-) Nidelven is a river running through the city, and translated to English it means "The River Nid" or "The Nid River" (elv=river, elven=the river).
The wharves on both sides of the river were built in the 1700's and were built on stakes. If you click on the photo you can see a larger version of the photo, and you can see this more clearly.
The water level in the river is affected by the tides, and is in this photos probably at its highest.
The street behind the buildings to the left is pretty heavy trafficated, at least during rush hour. The street behind the buildings to the right are barely trafficated at all. The cobble stone road is closed about half-way through it, so the only cars you'll meet there are those of the people who live there.

Looks like the houses could be flooded. I wonder the same as Judith...

It looks so peaceful. What about the other side of the houses : the street? Is-it as quiet?

I love the absence of clinical white paint.
