Stave Church
Part of this church was built around the year 1100.
10th-century missionaries to Norway concerned themselves with establishing chapels, churches and other ecclesiastical centers. Thus far, archaeological exploration has revealed traces of thirty-odd post churches built no later than 1200. Some of these early wooden churches disappeared due to neglect as well as fire and other natural disasters, but the rest were replaced by new constructions. Nevertheless, 28 of the stave churches built after the year 1100 still survive.

The reindeer man.
The bizarre mystery of the so-called "reindeer man" widened as a sixth person reported receiving a Polaroid picture of the strange figure.
The Norwegian media has been fascinated by the story after the news broke of a series of deliveries of photographs in the area - of a mystery figure dressed as a reindeer.
"I was reasonably surprised when I saw what was in my mailbox. A person sitting dressed like a reindeer was sitting in the picture. He or she sat in a wooden camping chair reading a book in my garden," said a man who got a picture in his mailbox.
Somebody said it was me, but they was wrong..ha...ha...
"The reindeer man" was a women, an art student.

Thieves felled by moose
A moose lost its life while accidentally helping police officers in the line of duty.
Police in Salten in northern Norway could thank an unlucky moose for helping them stop three men they believe were behind a major burglary.
The Medical Emergency Communication (AMK) Central reported three men needing assistance in a car that had collided with a moose. One of the men was injured and the car was no longer roadworthy. It was the three men from the burglary.
An easy job for the police this time.

Munch masterpieces damaged
Both of the recovered Munch masterpieces have suffered damage, and it will take time before work on the paintings is finally finished.
Munch's Madonna has taken the hardest beating during the two years the paintings have been missing.
Both The Scream and Madonna were found Thursday afternoon in what police described as a "successful action" by the Oslo Police District.
Police wouldn't say where the famed artworks were found, but said they think the paintings have been in Norway all along.
"The Scream" has been valued at NOK 500 million (USD 81 million) and "Madonna" at NOK 100 million, but both artworks were also considered priceless in many ways and difficult if not impossible to sell.
