The second city of Norway, Bergen lies in a fjord along the North Sea. Founded in 1070 by Olav Kyrre who ruled Norway until 1093, Bergen is known as the city of Seven Mountains…although there appear to be nine. Like the pictorial cover from Las Vegas, this cover includes as much as possible from the city. A sailing ship replete with anchor approaches the Hanseatic vernacular buildings from the right side. The fjord’s waters lap their stone base. Haaken’s hall is behind on the left. Rosenkrantz tower sits center. A funicular runs up Mount Fløyen with a ski lift that takes the eye up the highest mountain, Ulkriken, in Bergen. It has a TV tower on top. Some clouds and a summer sun cap the top. This cover was made in 1999 for the designation of the 2000 City of Culture as celebrated by the fireworks in the east/west quadrants. Part of the Norway Coaster set.
