Directly south from the Ole Bull Plaza is Lille Lungegårdsvann, the lake with the fountain so clearly visible from Mount Fløyen. So that's where I was headed.
Looking from Ole Bull Plaza through the rotunda to the fountain, with Mount Ulriken in the distance.
The rotunda and gardens in front of the Decorative Arts Museum, which houses Ole Bull's violin.
And not too surprisingly, in the same garden area there is a statue of Edvard Grieg. Seems to be a popular landing place for seagulls! And, by the looks of it, has been for quite a while.
The fountain in the lake, with Mount Fløyen in the background. There's also a close up of one of the funicular carriages. Bergen, unlike most Norwegian towns, has mostly wooden homes, and they are painted in a variety of colours. Coming from the northwest, where wooden homes are the standard, this did not seem unusual, but our tour guide and several books take pains to point this out!
Bottoms Up! Well, ducks gotta eat too!
The stone building is the Bibliotek, or Library. To the right, and behind, are several museums in "museum row".
A pleasant afternoon (at last!) for absorbing some sunshine.
Another view of the fountain.
Looking back over the lake and Bibliotek to Mount Ulriken and the communications tower.
But now it was time to head back to the hotel and prepare for the evenings activities.
