"Indeed," the Norwegian chuckles, talking to a tourist, "polar bears walk the streets everywhere in Norway!"

Well, in 1953, there _was_ a #PolarBear loose in #Bergen. Coming from the North, and supposed to be transferred to a ship going to a zoo Germany, mommy bear escaped and swam around the port for a while, before being recaptured and sent on – along with her two cubs. Quite the spectacle!

The traditional fish market in #Bergen sometime at the turn of the century.

Not that much activity in the middle of winter, I will grant you that – but fresh fish and goods have been sold here since 1730, when the inner bay was filled with stone masses to build up a market square.

The Old City Hall of #Bergen. Or, at this point, in 1921, just The City Hall.

But it was quite old even at that point! Originally built in 1558 as a residence for fier (lensherre) Christian Valkendorff, already from 1561 it began seeing use as a magistrate meeting place, and was given to the city as a city hall in 1568.

After many fires and refurbishings over the centuries, it got its current look in 1885, and was used by city council until the new "sky scraper" nearby was done in 1974.

Jeg pleide å si at https://www.christiania.org er det nærmeste stedet jeg kan besøke som føles som “mitt folk”, men egentlig er Blitz i Oslo enda nærmere, både i ånd og idealer.

Sammen med Svartlamon i Trondheim, utgjør de noen av de få levende anarkistiske rommene i Norden, steder der frihet, fellesskap og motstand fortsatt lever.

RE: https://social.linux.pizza/@midtsveen/115667113558648991

Jeg finner det ironisk at denne kort filmen hevder at anarkisme aldri har fungert i et land, LMAO, det er jo helt sant. Anarkisme handler jo nettopp om at frihet ikke kan innskrenkes av grenser.

Å si at anarkismen ikke har lykkes i et enkelt land, som Norge, treffer ikke kjernen i hva anarkisme er. Grenser og nasjonsstater går helt imot anarkismens prinsipper, som handler om å avvise autoritet, hierarki og tvang.

Friheten anarkismen kjemper for er universell og kan ikke begrenses til et geografisk nasjon, slik som Norge. Når medier insisterer på at anarkisme ikke har lykkes som et landeprosjekt, sier de egentlig bare det anarkister alltid har visst: frihet kjenner ingen grenser.

Ah, the theatre!

Den Nationale Scene (The National Stage), here from the late 1920s, is the largest #theatre in #Bergen and one of the oldest permanent theatres in Norway. Opened in 1909, the neoclassical building took on the world. Its original premiere was Ludvig Holberg's Erasmus Montanus.

Throughout the early 20th century DNS nurtured talents, cementing its role in shaping Norway’s artistic identity. It is seen here from Ole Bulls plass, the plaza and street named for the violinist and stage patron who initiated the original city theatre in 1850s.

It is still a theatre, and has been one of the state theatres of Norway since the 1990s. The current house has three stages – a main stage, and two smaller stages. Last refurbished in 2001 to almost its original shape, it is now closed down for a year to refurbish and upgrade.
