#Bergen #TrainStation, some time in the 30s.

Opened in 1913, the station is – still – the terminus of the Oslo-Bergen train line. It was built on parts of an old graveyard, and as late as 2016, two skulls were found when maintenance was being done on the tracks.

"At the turn of the millennium, we had broadly similar wage levels to #Norway and #Canada, which has since outstripped us. We were well ahead of #NewZealand (which overtook UK wages in 2020) and #Slovenia (which is set to do so in the next few years)"

Ah, the good old days when you wouldn't know if a #selfie left out the top of your head until you got the film developed.

A (likely time-released) selfie from photographer and engineer Truls Wiel Wilson in 1907. He started a company in 1914 which still runs in #Bergen today, making signs, outside benches, street lamps and so on.
