"Light news" ping for the Norway ping list, as I apparently got up before the staff at the Aftenposten awoke this morning, to illuminate us with "hard news" from Norway.

There's a Stavkirke in Rapid City. They are tremendously cool.

"Medieval Norwegian church found in deepest Poland"
I wasn't aware that Poland had submerged.

"I have no idea what a "stave church" "
This church was built without nails, maybe this is something about it.

However, once the church arrived in Stettin Sttetin = Szczecin that is Grzegorz’s home, interesting.
I have seen this church live few years ago but unfortunately only outside cause church was closed then for some reasons. Very beautiful countryside but I see that original Norwegian location is also very attractive. Hard to believe that this is Norwegian architecture looks so Chinese.

If you liked Wang church sculptures I recommend checking out sites dedicated to the greatest Polish visual artists of XXth century, Stanislav Szukalski. His art was inspired by the art of ancient cultures of Greeks, Romans, Vikings, Slavs, Celts but even also Aztecs.
Stanislav Szukalski was born in Warta, Poland on December 13, 1893. When he was only six years old, a teacher sent him to the headmaster's office for whittling a pencil. The headmaster examined the pencil more closely and discovered that young Stanislav had carved a tiny, near-perfect figure. Instead of punishing him, he called the local newspaper which did a feature on the art prodigy...
For more information on this Polish genius go to:
