Note that the pictures under the Scandinavia section show models very
much inspired from Bergen in Western Norway.
There's the harbour area, which is inspired from the 14th century German
harbour buildings in Bergen, which are very famous.
The white sailing wessel is probably a copy of Statsraad Lemkuhl, which
is commonly seen in the harbour of Bergen.
The yellow buses are quite realistic as well. There are several bus
companies in Bergen, and they are recognized by the colour of the
vehcles.
Finally, there's the red and blue cable cars going up the hill. This is
a copy of Fløybanen, a very old rail system, where one car goes up as
the other goes down. The steepest descent is 26°, I think. Once up,
you can see the whole of central Bergen from the plateau. I bet Larry
Pieniazek would love to travel with these cars.
There are more buildings I recognize from Bergen, but I dunno their
names, so I shall not comment them any more. If I can get my
girlfriend, who is from Bergen, to look at them, she can probably name
most of them.
If you travel to Scandinavia some time, visit Bergen. I think you'll
like it.
