Just one for me, please…

In the national expo in #Bergen in 1928, exhibitors in trade, tourism, crafts, sport and others showed their wares and weirds around the city. Our largest brand of beer, still running, is named for our #Hansa history, and this was their monumental mascot.

⭐ Hey #MutualAid community,

🧩 I have autism and struggle with social anxiety, so I’m reaching out today for a bit of mutual aid, if you’re able, please give this post a boost.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 It’s a small ask, but I’m working on accepting my social anxiety, and your support would mean a lot and could help me find new friends nearby to overcome my social anxiety, heal, and feel more comfortable socializing.

🇳🇴 I’m based in Bergen, Norway, with interests in Anarchism, particularly anarcho-syndicalism, as well as free software and Linux.

💙 Thank you so much!

Norway is definitely one of my places to be - this view reminding on mythical English Avalon is located in Rennesøy which now belongs to the Stavanger-municipality.

"There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it."

"The Graf Zeppelin is a ship with a soul. You have only to fly in it to know that it's a living, vibrant, sensitive and magnificent thing."
– British journalist Lady Grace Drummond-Hay

Graf Zeppelin did a world tour in 1929, flying over parts of the world until then unseen. In 1930 it did an even more daring flight, when it swooped by #Bergen.

After the Hindenburg accident in 1937, Graf Zeppelin was quickly put out of commission, and turned into a museum ship. This post was inspired by an article in NRK today, where some of these images were featured.

First non-photography! Swipe for coloured version.

Hieronymus Scholeus drew a view of #Bergen in 1581, creating the world's oldest (known) depiction of the city, and the first of a Norwegian city at all.

There was uncertainty whether the artist had ever actually been in Bergen, due to odd inconsistencies such as the palisade fence around the city which has never been there, but letters from the client to the king states the artist actually came here. The working theory is that #Scholeus drew it from a number of sketches after having left the city, and added a few details in post.

Collected with a large number of other copper engravings of cities, this image was in the German-published series "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" (Cities of the world).
