... Norway holiday postcard nr 2đ... lovely view of "Skagenkaien" known for its beautiful iconic brightly painted wooden wharf houses which once served as storehouses for goods like logs and salt... today, there are around 60 sea houses left of the original approximately 250 house mostly fom the 19thC... this waterfront area is also where you’ll find the most vibrant nightlife street in the city... the Stavanger harbour area is called VĂ„gen by the locals... Thanks a lot Ben en Loes! (✿◠‿◠)

Stavanger, city and seaport is located in southwestern Norway and is one of the largest cities in Norway. It has become known worldwide for its oil industry with a nickname as the Norwegian capital of oil.
Although it only legally became a municipality in 1838, Stavanger is actually one of Norway’s oldest settlements. The area was first populated as long ago as the last Ice Age, and a busy market town had arisen by the 12th century.
