A norwegian piece of history, very well spotted, lighted and put in scene. Excellent note.

I'd like to have it a bit more sharp, to could examine the many many peaces of wood it is built of.
But I knew about your "love" to a tripod...

Superbe, j'adore cette église (j'en ai même fait une reproduction en dessin à l'encre de chine ...)
Les détails sont bien rendus et les couleurs aussi avec les teintes d'Automne. La note est intéressante.
Merci pour le partage.

A wonderful composition you have here Jack. A good combination of the colors of the sky, church and the trees. Architecture itself is beautiful and this pic reflects it very well.
Good job and very touching note. Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful church, it has the colors of autumn. It seems so much bond to nature which show the same colors. Well seen and good composed shot.

It's incredible that a building in wood could have the age of the castles of the medieval period . the the wood have special treatment alone the history to protect it , ( like tar ) . but I presume thne cold climat of the montain of Norvay help for wood long life

A quite unique construction for a church this is, Jack - when one would think the roofline should appear, there is another diagonal twist that makes it reach up even higher. I like a lot the color hues in the wood, and the positioning behind the stone wall. Even though far away from the main subject, that small red house at the right is another small detail I really enjoy. Well done, and thanks for sharing the legend, a delightful piece of Norwegian folklore.

This building is very strange and you shooted it very well. You make me think I should take a photo of "Jean de Nivelles" (in the city where I live) and share this other legend...

Beautiful timber church, outlined in a fine way on the BG of blue sky, Jack! The whole composition is perfect as well as the sharpness, POV DOF etc. Wonderful notes too. Great one!

I love churches, but no chance in seeing this over here. Waaw, great building. Thanks for showing it to us in such a clear way.
Nice story; love these kind of notes.

Nice composition and beautiful autumn colors, Jack.
I'm not so sure about the house on the right though.
Your note is prima! :)

Architecture très intéressante je n'avais jamais vu ce style d'église et cela est un réel plaisir que de pouvoir l'admirer.
Très belle présentation bravo Jack et merci du partage.

Fantastic building, well integrated into the image. I would be curious to see a close-up of it from a different angle. The sharpness could be just a bit better, probably the tripod from the car would have helped.

Very nice story! :-)

The building is simply fabulous and it's amazing hte age of it considering the material it was built.

Nice colors and details, although I miss some more brightness.

It's a fantastic church. Very original architecture. I wonder how it looks on its front view but the rear view is nice. I also appreciate the legend.

Oh how nice to see that church in the summer. This is a very nice picture of such a special church. I have actually been there twice but always in the winter and unfortunately it was always closed. Hopefully I will be able to go there again one day and find an open door. Actually in the winter I find it looks much darker - almost black. When did you take this one?

Thanks for the legend. It makes this beautiful old church all the more interesting. I love the deep blue of the sky that sets off this wonderful wooden structure nicely. I like the low vantage point you have taken to better show off this ancient structure.

Hi Jack, your photo is this morning in "featured destination", TE's 1st page : I've always been really intrigued by this beautiful structure and what you tell us is interesting. I wonder if the inside of the building is as exotic as the outside...
Beautiful shot,
Compliments,
Cath.
