Lom

Lom is a village where most tourists mainly go to visit the Lom Stave Curch, built around the second part of the 12th century, and is one of the very few well preserved stave churches in Norway.

When my tour arrived at Lom, it was raining. Later the rain stopped, and just about 15 minutes before we had to leave, the sun came out and was shining right on the church. It was amazing watching how things changed before my eyes. The surface of the wood dried fast and seemed to change from dark brown to a beautiful rust colour.
