Influences are shared beyond Norway:
Stourhead
Rockefeller State Park
Railing at the falls at Videseter shows how deep the notion of landscape at Stourhead really is
Nedre Oscarshaug
At Bergbotn, Senja, Code architecture's undulating cantilevered bridge
We also heard some quotes from Friends of the Pleistocene (FOP) Blog
Landskip and Landschaft as competing ideas

(Our guest speaker never mentioned the Witch Monument in Vardø, but once I stumbled into it I had to link to it as well)

Cool post, I would have liked to sat in on that lecture! I wish we could use our valuable resources more wisely! We have got to become more energy efficient as a nation!
