Tuesday saw Norway’s King Harald V and Queen Sonja visit the western county of Hordaland, as part of a three day official visit to the area. The tour, three years in the making, began in the seaside town of Tysnes.

The King and Queen were greeted by hundreds of young children as they stepped off the boat which brought them to the town. After official welcomes, the couple got down to business.

One of the places they toured in Tysnes was Gallery G, where some of Queen Sonja’s photographs were on display. The photographs were personally taken by the Queen during her many visits around the Norwegian mountains over the years.

Only once before has the Queen’s pictures been exhibited. That happened in the Scandinavian House in New York in 2005.

King Harald and Queen Sonja will be spending most of the week in Hordaland. The other towns coming up on their tour will be Lindas and Austrheim.
