Sandfjorden
White sand, beautiful view, a hide spot in Finnmark. On your way to Berlevag this beach is on your right hand. It is nice for a walk, swim (ice cold) and for camping.

Kjølnes lighthouse (Kjølnes fyr)
The lighthouse was established in 1916, destroyed during World War II, rebuilt in 1949, and automated in 1994. It was listed as a protected site in 1998. The lighthouse has been used as a guest house/rental cottage since 1994 when it was automated and the keeper's house was no longer occupied.

Berlevåg
The municipality of Berlevåg was established on 1 January 1914 when it was separated from Tana Municipality. Initially, there were 784 residents.

Svartoks and Revnes breakwaters - impressive harbour defences built with thousands of 4-armed concrete blocks, or tetrapods.
Facing rough ocean conditions, the four man-made breakwaters that protect the harbor of Berlevåg have been destroyed several times due to bad weather. The current breakwaters include tetrapods that intertwine and have made for a flexible breakwater that can resist the Barents Sea. The port was completely secured with breakwaters in 1973. Since then, the Coastal Ferry has been able to dock in Berlevåg. Prior to that time, a smaller vessel had to unload cargo and passengers

Gun Battery Veinesodden
In the summer of 1942 the German army started construction of a gun battery on Veinesodden in northernmost Norway. The five French guns had a caliber of 155 mm. and a range of almost 19 kilometers.
The battery had a crew of 140 soldiers and was, over the next 2 years, continuously expanded. These expansions included among others an old French Renault FT tank, which still partly exists today.
As part of this withdrawal, four of the guns were, in October 1944, moved first to Harstad and next to Mele on Andøya. The last gun was, along with other parts of the gun battery, blown up.
After the Germans capitulation civilians quietly returned and in September 1945 the last Russian troops left Northern Norway.

Artists Ella & Pitr Paint 21,000 Meter Rooftop Mural in Norway

Ahead of the 15th annual NuArt street art festival opening this weekend in Norway, French artists Ella & Pitr completed work on this absolutely enormous mural on the rooftop of the Block Berge Bygg construction company located in the municipality of Klepp in Rogaland county. The piece is titled “Lilith and Olaf” and depicts a curled up girl with painted toenails dropping a small king from her hand. The work is a tongue-in-cheek depiction of King Olaf I of Norway whose birthplace is just meters from the mural.

The 21,000 square meter artwork required an army of volunteers to paint and according to NuArt’s general manager, James Finucane, it is most likely the “the world’s largest outdoor mural.” Over at Brooklyn Street Art they add the qualifier that it is most likely the “the world’s largest figurative mural.” The artwork is also strategically placed on the flight path to the nearby Sola airport where it can clearly be viewed from above.

Ella & Pitr are known for their ambitiously large mural projects in a similar illustrative style, more of which you can see here. The NuArt festival runs through October 11, 2015. (via Huffington Post, Designboom)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
