Skudeneshavn

Just outside of Haugesund is a large island named Karmøy. It is about 45 km long. At the extreme souther tip is an old city named Skuneneshavn. This is a photo of some of the houses at the outskirts of the city with the north sea behind it. We went to this town to find a member who has not come to church for several years. We did talk to her, but she did not want us to come into her home or to have any personal contact with her. So we looked over the whole town and did a little sight seeing while there.
At the entrance to the childrens park this old sailing ship mast head is protecting the entrance way. It is from a ship that sailed in the 1860's.

On one of the streets in Skudeneshavn. Notice how narrow the street and the house are. And the house is two stories on the end closest to us and it goes down to one story at the other end of the house. I thought this a very interesting house.
Just outside of Skudenes is this lovely sandy beach. Of course in November we had the beach to ourselves and it was way to cold to even put our feet in the water but the beach and the clouds made for a very beautiful picture.
