Bridge to Nowhere, Norway


Google Street View

Here is a scary bridge (Mjømnesund Bridge) on highway 4 in Gulen commune, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway with high gradient, which gives an eerie feeling that the bridge is leading nowhere and if the traveller doesn't stop he/she will drop down in the cold waters below.

This bridge is not to be confused with another more famous and scarier "Bridge to Nowhere" on the Atlantic Road, Norway.

Red Rocket Shaped Building, Røst (Rost) Island, Norway


Google Street View

While roaming the streets of Røst (Rost) Island, Lofoten Islands, Norway, I came across this red rocket shaped structure. I couldn't find any info about it. As it is located in a cemetery it could be a church.

Edit Note: April 12, 2012
As per research done by Noisette, who is a Google Earth addict (like me), volunteer moderator on the Google Earth Community and top contributor on the Google Earth help forum, the red cone is the spire of an old Røst Church (built around 1825) which was blown down by a hurricane in January 1835. The spire survived and is installed in the cemetery. It is now a reliable navigation point for ships off the coast. Source: gonorway.no
