EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Fra Lyngseide, a quaint Norwegian village nestled along the shores of a serene fjord. The image, estimated to date back to circa 1908, showcases the simple yet charming way of life that once thrived in this idyllic setting. At the heart of the scene is a steam ferry, its smokestacks billowing gently into the sky, adding a touch of industry to the otherwise tranquil landscape. The ferry, a vital mode of transportation for the community, connects Fra Lyngseide to the surrounding areas, allowing the residents to navigate the expansive fjord. Adjacent to the jetty, a series of racks stretch out towards the water, dotted with fishing nets that have been carefully laid out to dry in the sun. The intricate design of the racks, constructed from wooden poles and ropes, is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the local fishermen. The scene is further enhanced by the vibrant colors of the drying nets, which contrast beautifully against the backdrop of the clear blue waters and the lush greenery that surrounds the village. The peaceful ambiance of this photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Norway's coastal communities during the early 1900s.
