A little bit of Norway....

I was helping our oldest with homework last night

I love this....I could live in anyone of these homes.
and came across these images of Norway.

How Beautiful is this...

to the country...

is this common in Europe to landscape your roof top?

I just love the sweet little buildings and and all the windows.


I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend also!

    They do look sweet, but the one with the trees, well, I think that might become a little...top heavy!!

    Have a wonderful day!

    These are wonderful pictures Heidi. I love the first picture with the different colored, different shaped houses, but I love the ones with the vegetation on top. You could have your own Christmas tree on top of your house!! Hope you have a wonderful day. Hugs, Diane

    Beautiful! Starr Hill in Juneau kind of looks like your picture - the colorful houses nestled on the hillside!

    Beautiful! Both of my grandparents on my Dad's side are from Norway, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. Thatch roofs are quite common in northern Germany and it is also common to plant succulents and such on flat roofs. Nothing like what is pictured here though.

    Hi Heidi,

    What a beautiful country Norway is! It's still on my wish list. Love to see the Fjords one day. Hope you had a lovely Easter with your family? We had tea with the family yesterday and went to our garden today. I painted the garden table. The set is almost finished now. I hope it will look pretty. Otherwise I done all the trouble for nothing ;-)!

    Happy evening & lieve groet, Madelief x

    I hope your parcel will arrive soon now!!!

    Those rooftops made me think of the sod houses they used to have in western Kansas. What pretty villages in Norway! I'd like to live there too.

    Wonderful photos - beautiful country and houses.
    Not normal in England to grass roofs - we like to keep our lawns manicured and how would we get up there to mow?! ;o)
    Lovely post!
