This fjord in the Oslo area is a location that many come to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, there are more sailing boats in Norway than in other place I have seen, the sea is an integral part of this country, fish is abundant in these waters, many species, including many types of sharks that live in the deep waters of the fjords in Norway and recent discoveries show existence of corals that perhaps are the reason for such rich life under water. The peace I found walking in the early morning in this location was not interrupted by the cold breeze of -12 degrees Celsius in my face, simply marvelous the creation of our Heavenly Father.
