My Virtual Window HD is a non-commented video podcast mostly about nature, places and people in Western Norway - the best kept secret of Europe. Be prepared for majestic fjords, snowy mountains and fresh, crisp and clear air that fills your lungs with that much needed oxygen. (Destiny may, however, sometimes bring this window to other places on our planet.) Since it is a window for you to observe the world through, this podcast has no comments, only natural sounds. Unless the window is placed on a moving object, such as a car or a boat, it will be a fairly stationary view without much zoom, tilt or pan. It is April. Nature is in the process of awakening from winter hibernation. Together we will visit The Aker Fjord, we enjoy a harbour scene in Haugesund, do some lamb studies in Olen, visit Lake Stordal for a quiet moment, then on to the Bokna Fjord on a windy day. Next we will visit the Sandhaland beach, the Ferkingstad bay and finally the Swords in Rock monument commemorating the battle of Hafrsfjord in 872. A decisive victory that enabled viking king Harald the Fairhair to unite the Kingdom of Norway.
