Nærøyfjord is a branch of the Sognefjord which in turn is the largest and deepest in Norway. The SS Black Watch took a turn up Nærøyfjord on its way back to the sea after visiting Flåm.

The ship’s captain said this was the smallest church in Norway but it doesn’t look much smaller – if at all – than the one in Flåm:-

I just remembered I had more photographs of our trip to Norway to post.
It’s over a year now since we were there.
The red road train here was plying up and down the road while we were walking in Flåm, Norway. Photo taken beside Flåm Church, hence the gravestones:-

The good lady posted photos of Flåm Church – an example of a wooden stavkirke – on her blog here.
The odd sight of this locomotive poking out of a shed is just by the side of the road. It didn’t seem to be part of the Flåmsbana Museum:-

After Flåm the ship departed to cruise Nærøyfjord but had to travel back down Aurlandsfjord first.

These photographs make it look a bit more misty than it felt at the time.
