telemark

That's quite a canal!

Title should be Vrangfos Lock, not Vuangfos. Nowadays Vrangfoss (litt. "difficult waterfall").

Also, the canal is nowadays called "Telemarkskanalen", i. e. Telemark Canal. It goes all the way from Dalen to the sea (Skagerrak), with a side-arm stretching north to Notodden. Just great for canoeing and camping!

Vrangfoss is the correct name. It is also a regrettable fact that nowadays tourist agencies use the collective name Telemarkskanalen for two canalizing projects with different history, but linked by the Norsjø lake: Bandakkanalen (or Norsjø-Bandakkanalen) and Skien-Norsjøkanalen Vrangfoss is the highest waterfall on the Bandak canal / Bandakkanalen Central area of the picture is position 6573658 N, 511558 E.. UTMV32 General axis of view about straight NW , probably shot from a small elevation beside the old tourist pathway between Eidsfoss and Vrangfoss: Kongens utsikt (The King's view, don't actually know wether the union king of Norway and Sweden actually ever stood there, but he visited the canal a year after the opening ceremony) at position 6573512 N, 511702 E. UTMV32

This looks like a very simple but elegant canal. It doesn't look like it's cluttering the area like most seem to do.

woow mashallah great pic

Beautiful image!
I've did this one using its exact color scheme.

its crazy how we have come such a long way in photoraphy with all kinds of thechniques and bits and bobs.. yet these shots.. are priceless. it allmost reminds me of HDR!

I use to go to these locks with my grandchildren every summer when they come to visit us in Skien. They love to see the boats in the locks, and the filling of water in the chambers.

this is a very beautiful photograph.
