This is not a moose. It is an elk, and it is also stuffed. It stands on the dock at Kristiansand, greeting cruise-ship passengers from around the world. The town itself is a popular summer resort, but much quieter than most places we think of when we hear the words "summer resort". Above: The town beach and one of the town's prized palm trees. The palm trees are in pots; during the winter, they are moved inside a greenhouse. Right: The Kristiansand Fortress overlooks the harbour.   A vegetable market in the Town Centre.   A turret on the town Cathedral. The Old Post Office, in the historic Posyben District. The low, wood-frame structures date from the 18th century.   A rose bush blooms outside a home in the Posyben District.       Back Back to index   Next     © 2011 W. Luther Jett. All rights reserved.
