All such requests gladly received.
Ping for the Norway ping list.
By the way, per my promise on the "tour" of Alesand (that first pathetic attempt, with all these errors--but I will make it up to the wonderful city of Alesund later)--
I have sent a check to Free Republic, in the names of Grut and Tamerlane, for having pointed out the errors in that first botched "tour"--they both should receive an acknowledgement for their contribution to Free Republic, from Free Republic, in a couple of weeks.
Grut was the one who first informed me--alas AFTER the photographs had been posted--that there is a difference between Alesund and Ny-Alesund, and of course he was absolutely correct. (I had disregarded the "Ny-" as being some sort of inconsequential prefix, everything being in Norwegian).
And then Tamerlane was the first to notice one photograph was of Bergen, not of Alesund. This one took some investigation, because the original web-site (in Norwegian) said it was of Alesund.
But then I looked at Bergen and Alesund again, and decided the Norwegian who had put up the web-site about Alesund had erred; it was in fact a photograph of Bergen, not Alesund.
And so that "offer" continues; any time through my own stupid negligence, I misidentify a photograph from Norway, the first person who spots the error, gets a contribution sent to Free Republic by me, in the name of that person.
This serves three purposes: (a) enriching the coffers of Free Republic so as to enable all of us, and more of us, to engage in illuminating discussion, (b) forcing myself to be more careful about "sources," and (c) "redeeming" myself for having made such stupid errors.
I was busy today, and will be busy tonight and tomorrow, and so will not post anything from Norway this weekend, other than a "tour" or two (probably on Saturday and Sunday).
