Fjord Fjords Floating Floats Norway Norwegian Raft Rafts Timber
EDITORS COMMENTS
Log Rafts in the Norwegian Fjords (1916) - A captivating image of log rafts drifting through the pristine waters of a Norwegian fjord in the year 1916. The scene showcases the traditional method of timber transportation that was once prevalent in Norway. The rafts, made entirely of wooden logs, are expertly lashed together to form a large, stable platform capable of carrying a substantial load. The Norwegian flag flutters proudly atop one of the rafts, symbolizing the strong national identity and connection to the country's rich maritime heritage. The tranquil fjord, with its towering cliffs and crystal-clear water, provides a breathtaking backdrop to this scene. The log rafts, or 'sparrejoller' in Norwegian, were an essential means of transportation in the past when roads were scarce, and the terrain was rugged. The logs were floated down the fjords and then transported overland to their final destination, often for use in construction or as fuel. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Norwegian people. It also highlights the country's stunning natural beauty, with the fjords serving as a testament to the power and majesty of nature. This image is a timeless reminder of a bygone era, evoking feelings of nostalgia and admiration for the resilient spirit of the Norwegian people.
