Lillesand Town and Maritime Museum

Kristiansand, Tømmerstø and Lillesand

Situated on the south coast of Norway, Kristiansand hosts charming small towns and a coastline dotted with tiny rocky islands and skerries. This movie includes the protected Blindleia shoreline, picturesque white-painted houses in sheltered inlet, lush green forests and rugged mountains, Tømmerstø, a maritime centre in a pretty setting, and the scenic landscapes of green fields, hills and coves towards Lillesand, a lovely little town on the waterfront which is famous for its summer floral displays.

Why not take a trip to Southern Norway? Many people already know about the lovely nature of the Northern and the Western parts of Norway. We think that the Southern parts are underestimated, as there are many hidden treasures here.

The video starts up at Konglungen in Asker, then moves forward to the city Sandvika in Bærum, where the oldest scheduled wooden ferry Rigmor takes its journeys to many islands in the Oslo Fjord. Watch the sea life with all the boats and other ferries in the Oslo Fjord, watch Oslo City hall, Akershus Fortress and Oslo Opera House from the sea side. Also, take a trip to the Fram Polar Ship Museum lying just beside the Norwegian Maritime Museum, go on board on the Fram Polar Ship, and also feel the essence of life underneath the ice level in the North Pole!

The large cruise boats from Color Line are sailing from Kiel to Oslo and vice versa. Also, other large cruiseships are sailing here. There are other car ferries are sailing to Oslo too, like Stena Line from Frederikshavn, and DFDS from Copenhagen. Expect a lovely view from the sundeck on these ships, and enjoy the views of e.g. Oscarsborg Fortress, Drøbak city, and a lot of the islands and peninsulas in the Oslo Fjord.

The video also shows the very southern parts of Norway, like Søgne outside Kristiansand. The lovely marina at Trysnes offers fishing and nice sea life for their visitors. We filmed under water with our GoPro camera, and you can look at crabs, jellyfish and some of other sea creatures as well.

Then finally the video takes you to the island Tjøme, and The End of Earth (Verdens Ende), where you may look at the very special archipelaog of smooth rocks. In 2012, the famous photographers Peter Farago and Ingela Klemetz-Farago in collaboration with Chanel had their outdoor exhibition Northern Women in Chanel. Read more about the exhibition here: (Norwegian) and here: (English)

The video is produced on private interest for local tourist destination marketing, so we had no contract before making it.

When we make videos with contracts, we make sure we have a good plan and manuscript, based on what the customers want. We will also make sure that people who are participating in the videos look their best, and that the result will be good.

So why not go to Norway in your next vacation? Southern Norway has a lot to offer. Sea life, multiple beaches, fishing and diving amongst others. Experience the wonderful archipelagos along the coastline, or stay in the cities for sightseeing, dining and shopping.

Nova Scotia Sailing Adventure 2017 (Part 3 - Lunenburg)

This video is about a Melonseed Skiff sailing adventure in Nova Scotia, Canada. To celebrate the 150th Anniversary (1867-2017) of Canada’s Confederation, the Admiral, commanding the Montreal fleet of Her Majesty’s Canadian Melonseed Skiffs, despatched a squadron to Nova Scotia where they were to meet up and sail with HMCMS Chico, Andrew B. commanding. Skiffs beyefendi (Albert E.), Rocky C (Alvin C.) and Grenville (John M.) voyaged east along the Trans Canada highway before meeting up with the skiff Chico stationed in Nova Scotia. The assembled skiffs sailed together for four days on the south coast of Nova Scotia. Shore side activities included fine down east food and drink and a guided tour of Halifax courtesy of Andrew. We also visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and the James Cook monument in Fort Needham park.

Part 3 of this adventure was filmed in Lunenburg harbour. This UNESCO World Heritage Site – with its narrow streets and unique architecture – is also the home port of Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador, the Bluenose II. The graceful ship is a replica of the original fishing boat that found fame as a racing schooner.

Andrew’s video record of this sailing adventure may be viewed at:
